Re-branding to Odd Cat Media

As our business has evolved over the past 7 years, we have gone through an evolution of names.

First it was Six Solutions, then cDiver.net, cMedia Consulting and finally we landed on Odd Dog Media. Part of that was a tribute to our totally weird dogs, yet it also explained the weird mix of skills that our team has in being part marketer and part developer. The blend of these two makes us very effective in the online marketing world.

Trust Data, Not Emotions

However in our constant education of customers on always following what the marketing data is saying rather than their emotions, we realized it’s time to eat our own dog food. We did some research into our business name and found the following:

Seattle has more dogs than children, and more cats than dogs.
A group of kittens is called a “kindle”; and the kindle is the most popular online book reader in the world.
Cats can remember things for up to 16 hours, where a dog only averages 5 minutes.
Cats will instinctively house-train themselves if provided a litter box. We estimate our team has wasted over 500 hours of marketing productivity cleaning up after puppies.
Cats can jump and climb, while dogs cannot.

This market research data showed a clear mathematical correlation with cats being potentially superior to their dog brethren. So we dug further and found multiple examples of documented video evidence displaying a social study of dogs and cats interacting. We derived the following statistics from these interactions:

In 97% of cases, cats were mocking the dogs via telepathy.
In 95% of cases, the Vegas Sports book had a spread of 8 in favor of the cat. It’s still unknown how many points it would take to win.
In 10% of cases, the cat was in fact larger than the dog. Leading us to question their classification as “dogs” in the first place.
In one isolated case, a cat pretended to befriend the dog before literally throwing the dog off the bed. A clear indication of superior competitive strategy.
Cats understand that possession of assets is critical to success.
Cats know how to deal with stiff competition.
A cat knows how to induce a response from repeated prospect interactions.
Cats are very green and prefer digital documentation to paper documentation.
Cats are always willing to put in extra work and even some late nights.

The Conclusion

We feel it’s pretty clear from the evidence above that we will gain a clear business advantage by re-branding from Odd Dog Media to Odd Cat Media and are excited to finally announce the switch.
