What Makes a Challenger Brand?
In this first solo episode of Makin Mighty: The Challenger Sessions, Simon Greenwood-Haigh breaks down what a challenger brand actually is and why most brands get it wrong.
It’s a short, honest look at the mindset that separates real challengers from the ones who only use the word in their pitch deck.
Simon shares the core truths he’s seen across the industry, the common traps founders fall into, and a simple definition of challenger behaviour that sets the foundation for the whole show.
