Q. What makes a brand great?
It has an authentic sense of purpose
it’s a definitive statementabout the difference you aretrying to make in the world
it offers something that is hard to come byit reflects a commitment to a big ideait is intensely human
“If you make meaning you will probably make money. But if you set out to make money, you probably won’t make meaning and you won’t make money.”
It’s not enough to be great at something or to be an expert in your field. The world is buying your bigger mission, in many cases, first.

“Brands are no longer just saying things to consumers (such as, “Buy our product; it’s
sensational!”); they’re doing things…
…Things that genuinely make life easier for customers. Things that bring people together with others who share their
interests….
…Things that are just plain fun. Things that are endearing and build love between the
customer and the company.”
“brands are made through experiences, not advertising”
