Brands are selected.

By buyers, and now by the machines that advise them. RocMode helps a brand be selected on purpose. Built in Australia.

Marketing had to be a formula.

A maths student who fell for marketing, and decided it couldn't really be a field without right answers. Twenty-five years of agencies, looking for the formula.

A promiseAfter a crash I was lucky to survive: build the software, write the book. Twelve months.

Dec 2025

BrandGraphCos came to me with an idea very close to my own. It became RocMode.

Both halvesThe beta opened in September. The book is free, here.

The software

Started in hospital, typing with one hand. RocMode reads a brand, works out what it should be chosen for, asks the machines whether it is, and does the work.

The book

Seen Isn't Selected: the argument that marketing has one job, and the method for measuring it. Free, in full, on this site.

Brands are living things.

They grow, adapt, defend themselves and pursue goals. Most do it by accident. The brand we want to help build does it on purpose. That's a vision, not a product, and the score is its first part.

It senses

How buyers and machines see it, moment by moment, without waiting for a quarterly report.

It protects

What's true about it, catching a contradiction or a broken promise before it spreads.

It expresses

One truth in many forms, each fitted to the moment, without becoming a different story.

Why "Roc"

The Roc is the bird of myth: big enough to carry off elephants, wide enough to black out the sky. RocMode is a brand so structurally present it can't be ignored: true, legible and checkable, for buyers and for the machines that advise them.

Honest by construction.

No claim without its because.If we can't show why something is true, we don't say it. That goes for your brand and for ours.
Nothing marked done unless it happened.We call it no false success, and it's built into the product.
We publish our own numbers.Customer Zero: our Selectability Score, every month, whether or not it improved. We started at zero.
We say who should choose someone else.On every comparison, every pricing page and every product page.
