Embracing External Insights: Lessons from Uber’s Cold Start Problem
In his blog post inspired by Andrew Chen’s famous book, “Ideas from the Outside: What Uber and the Cold Start Problem Can Teach,” Abramson explores the dynamics of early momentum in brand development and platform growth. Drawing from Uber’s strategy to overcome its initial user-acquisition challenges, he encourages leaders to borrow proven ideas from other sectors and tailor them to their context.
“Companies often stall because they look only inward,” Abramson explains. “But when you think like a disruptor—even if you’re in a traditional space—you can create excitement and community from the outside in.”
Through storytelling and small-scale market tests, Abramson helps business owners and professionals understand their unique niche market and how to grow while staying on budget.
Harnessing AI for Data-Driven Decision Making
In “One Year Later: Where Is Ryan Abramson? Finding Data Using AI – What You Need to Know,” Abramson reflects on how AI has reshaped the way communicators interpret and act on data. With 90% of global data generated in the last two years alone, Abramson underscores the necessity of using AI tools to stay informed and agile.
“AI has opened new avenues for understanding complex data sets,” he says. “When applied ethically, it allows us to refine our message, sharpen our timing, and truly understand audience behavior.”
Oakridge Leaders has embraced AI tools to improve social media targeting, SEO performance, and email marketing success. Additionally, Oakridge Leaders now integrates AI-assisted research into all strategic planning, content calendars, and CRM workflows, offering clients real-time decision-making capabilities that save time and increase ROI.
Prioritizing Engagement in the Evolving Media Landscape
In another critical blog post, “Engagement Over Accuracy: New Media, Big Headlines, and Algorithms Decide What Is News,” Abramson explores how digital media has shifted toward engagement-focused algorithms at the expense of accuracy and depth. As nearly 70% of U.S. adults now get at least part of their news from social media, understanding how headlines are optimized for clicks—and not necessarily truth—has never been more urgent.
Abramson warns that media consumers must become “active participants, not passive recipients,” and encourages organizations to build trust by staying transparent, acknowledging uncertainty, and resisting the pressure to oversimplify.
Oakridge Leaders guides clients to balance virality with values, often helping them develop high-integrity communications frameworks.
