We don’t do “business as usual”
The world moves fast, but understanding it shouldn’t be hard.
That’s why we created Morning Brew: a free, five-minute daily newsletter that makes business and finance news approachable—and even enjoyable. Whether it’s Wall Street, Silicon Valley, or what’s trending at the water cooler, the Brew serves up the context you need in plain English, with a side of humor to keep things interesting.
There’s a reason over 4 million professionals read the newsletter daily—and you can try it for free by clicking below!
☕Mini R.I.F.T Audit: Morning Brew
Morning Brew didn’t chase trends, they realigned attention
Here’s how they turned a dorm-room idea into a multi-million-subscriber empire. I’m going to show you how they did that. By using the R.I.F.T Method
R— Realign
They stopped fighting for algorithm scraps and went straight for owned audience power Email
Their Clarity was brutal: “Make business news fun”
Result? Total realignment of how young professionals consume information.
🧭 Lesson: Control your channel, control your destiny.
I— Ignite
They ignited loyalty through tone and timing, confident, conversational, and perfectly timed at 6 A.M.
Each email feels like a friend texting you an update, not a brand selling something.
🔥Lesson: Engagement starts with emotional familiarity, not Data Dumps
F— Forge
They forged a community through the now famous referral engine “Share and get rewards.”
Readers didn’t just subscribe; they recruited.
⚙️Lesson: A strong system beats a strong slogan every time.
T—Thrive
They thrived by evolving, expanding into Tech Brew, Marketing Brew, and more. All while keeping the same DNA: Smart, Witty, Reliable
🌱 Lesson: Grow wider after you’ve grown deeper
