Mark Ganter and the Espresso Martini Decision

Medium fit

Brightness controls whether you see the hopeful side or the dark side of a situation. Mark Ganter was mostly seeing product cuts as shrinkage and loss — a darker read. During the conversation, he started to see it differently: cutting could mean becoming the martini brand, a cleaner story, a bigger market. That reframe from contraction to focus is a Brightness adjustment — the same facts, seen with a little more light.
