Key Takeaways

- Mini issues are validation tools. They’re designed and used to help you build an audience around what you’re doing.
- Don’t invest thousands of dollars into something you’re not really sure people are going to like. Produce mini issues to see what’s resonating and what isn’t.
- Mini issues are a fantastic way to discover your brand’s voice, your stories and characters.
- We use a collaboration technique called Plussing. This allows us to develop the best story we can possibly tell together.
- Our process comes in a number of phases for you to follow along with.
