The Lighthouse Identity
A lighthouse projects insistently, and consistently
It takes a stand, and expects the world to navigate by it, always
A Challenger Lighthouse Identity does the same thing for a brand – ensuring that consumers, the competition, even the world, set their course by its beliefs, actions and vision of the future
A Challenger Lighthouse Identity is not just a brand strategy. It is the north star that guides the development of every component of the business
And it is rooted in immutable truths about the business’s past, present and future
The business case and shared vision is essential to the creation of a successful Lighthouse Identity

The Lighthouse Identity Process: Designed to Ignite and Sustain Growth
For the past decade we’ve been utilizing a growth igniting process pioneered by the original Challenger consultancy, Eatbigfish, to help brands discover, define, articulate and amplify their Challenger story. The process of developing a Lighthouse Identity is intensive, collaborative, creative and highly effective.
Eatbigfish, literally, wrote the book on how some of the world’s most successful brands have challenged convention and invented, or re-invented products, services and in some cases whole categories and we are proud to partner with them to bring this unique methodology to our clients.

“The best, most collaborative and effective process I have ever seen or been part of, period. The Challenger approach enabled us to transform how we saw the business overall, and re-articulate our goals”
John Clendening, CEO Blucora

“The foundation for the Rebel brand is the Challenger identity that Julian drove at the outset of the company’s formation. It has guided everything we’ve done, and helped propel us in seven years from a minnow to the number one brand in the All Star Cheerleading market. Julian brings real vision, clarity and incredibly compelling storytelling to every project and gives companies a chance to be the best they can be”
Karen Noseff, Founder and CEO, Rebel Athletic

Bob Oros, CEO HighTower Advisors

Pete Boland, SVP Brand, Charles Schwab
“In contrast to traditional top down strategy efforts, Enact's approach - due to it's collaborative bottoms up process - is more effective at rallying an organization, generating buy-in, and coming up with practical go-to-market solutions. They are great partners”
Mathieu Stevenson, CEO Snagajob
“Enact helped us forge a common vision, culture and brand after the merger of AMR and AMGH. We could not have hoped for better collaboration, or better outcome”
Randy Owen, CEO Global Medical Response
“Enact are masters of distilling vague ideas and hopes into a clearly defined, unique and actionable mission that team members, constituents and donors rally behind. It’s hard to believe that the organizational leaps accomplished in 2-3 days are even possible, unless you actually experience a workshop”
