Mark Schaefer moved markets by understanding the specific psychology of attention and offer. Mark Schaefer's commercial thinking — captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask. The human-centred marketing & marketing rebellion framework distils Mark Schaefer's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds. Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Mark Schaefer made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Mark Schaefer's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.

Inside the framework

A glimpse of Mark Schaefer's thinking.

Core Philosophy

Marketing's industrial era is dead—the future belongs to brands that prioritize human dignity over conversion optimization. True marketing rebellion means rejecting the "more content, more channels, more automation" dogma and instead creating fewer, deeper connections that matter. The most powerful marketing strategy is becoming genuinely useful to real people solving real problems.
