MindFuel Webinar with YoungShand.

Being a challenger isn’t just about “thinking different.” The real growth comes when you flip the rules that bigger brands rely on and turn your size into an advantage.

In this session, join Duncan Shand, CEO of YoungShand, as we uncover the 4 unexpected lessons driving challenger growth today, drawn from global research, our Challenger Articles series, and real-world case studies from brands like Lightforce Solar, Blind Low Vision NZ, and Bendon.

This isn’t theory. You’ll get fresh, practical insights you can put to work straight away – the kind of thinking that separates brands who just survive from those who break through.

You’ll discover:
✅ How starting slow helps you to finish strong - why taking time to ground your strategy pays off in smarter, more successful campaigns.

✅ How being bold beats being different - the real driver of attention and cut-through.

✅ The secret to combining brand and performance - so they accelerate each other.

✅ Why challengers need ecosystems, not just campaigns - and how data and AI search are reshaping the playing field.

Don’t miss out. These are lessons the world’s most ambitious brands are using to win against bigger competitors and you can too.
