Key Takeaways

1

Focus on 'Mario Marketing' by selling the badass version of the customer (Big Mario) rather than the product (the fire flower).

2

Use powerful visual demonstrations that leverage basic physics to create unquestionable proof, similar to how Otis demonstrated elevator safety by cutting the support ropes in front of a crowd.

3

Position your brand as a tool for rebellion or superiority to allow customers to distinguish themselves from the status quo or 'the man.'
