TheByProduct provides analysis of topics at the intersection of technology, marketing, and business strategy. It is written by Aaron Shapiro with contributions from the folks at Product, an AI-oriented marketing agency.

The name ‘TheByProduct’ refers to two things: first, its origins as a publication produced by Product; and second, the belief that effective business strategy is a byproduct of the technology and market landscape in which a company operates.

TheByProduct publishes three kinds of articles:

  • Theories are ways of thinking about a business or marketing problem

  • Methods are how-to guides for marketing, customer experience and business building

  • Trends are observations about marketing and technology based on current events
