Today, we’re announcing Timelaps.  Because it’s clear that brand building is back, but brand tracking isn’t ready. AI has commoditized the "how." When anyone can generate a high-quality ad or a functional product in seconds, creation is no longer your moat. Your brand is. It can’t be done in a prompt. And you can’t deepfake mindshare and preference.  That’s why we’re betting on the next generation of brand builders.  But they face a huge obstacle knowing if their work is effective. Because brand tracking is stuck in 1998. It costs six figures. It takes three months. It arrives as a slide deck that gathers dust. So their options are to pay and wait, or guess. We’re building Timelaps to change that. We’re bringing research-grade brand intelligence to the challenger brands, the startups, and the creators who have been "flying blind" for years. And we’re giving enterprises agency-level tracking without the agency-level price and wait. • Continuous: Always-on data, not quarterly waves. • Credible: Built on the science of brand building. Designed by tracking experts. • Accessible: Finally, brand tracking that doesn't require a Fortune 500 budget. The "Brand Era" is back. Timelaps is the scoreboard.

Today, we’re introducing Timelaps: brand tracking for modern marketers. After 20 years designing brand trackers for the world's biggest brands, we’ve built the one I always wished existed. Fast. Continuous. Research-grade. Priced like SaaS. @timelapsio @harryzhangs

While writing my book I learned this lesson: you can’t edit what doesn’t exist. Same goes for building a business. Start with the shitty first draft.

Been deep-diving AI in market research for the past 3 months—100s of hrs of interviews, reports, company lists. Happy to share what I’ve learned (and the report out soon) with anyone curious. AMA.
