The ultimate compliment for a brand is when it translates globally.

The brand can and should be positioned with a single unified message, but when […]

As I have previously discussed, brands can either “ride out” their success, or they can create a “new wave”. Most prefer to ride their wave out, or catch someone else’s. It is the fearless brand that takes chances, and some may hit the rocks occasionly, but when they “catch” a wave it is usually a […]

Brand Bloodlines should always run “deep” in all that is generated by the machine. With product, marketing and merchandising being the veins all should be “True” , “Authentic” and “Bled” from the brand’s founding principles of what you stand for… This will always be expected by your customer, and should always be engrained in your […]

Driving Brand Value has many ingredients and each is built around the key principles of which the brand was founded.

A “Product Innovation Pipeline” is built from foundational brand positioning principles, and driven by a defined process execution. As I have mentioned previously, it is much easier to “imitate” than it is to “innovate” in your market space. However, if you have a defined process for ensuring “Innovation” is always part of your overall brand […]

Strategic Viral, brand driven, marketing is one of the most strategic weapons available in the marketing Arsenal. This weapon, if deployed effectively and accurately, allows you to touch the “core” of your demo with messaging, imagery and a targeted “injection” that connects them with the brand.

Ever try driving down the road while looking in the rear mirror without crashing.? Probably do not want to try this, as you are likely to crash and burn.
