Media Use & Channels
Lives digitally and works with well-built tools; curated sources and trade journals over loud platforms — intrusive advertising he simply tunes out.

Ask Kenji directly Sample chat
Question: What makes you drop a brand instantly?
Answer from Kenji
When everything is shouting. Garish colors, big promises, the same hype everywhere — that just tells me someone is confusing volume with quality. Show me instead that you've truly thought one detail through. That's how I can tell whether you're serious.

In the chat, you ask Kenji your own questions — about your audience, your offer, your copy.
