  • Marketing takes day to learn. Unfortunately it takes a lifetime to master.
  • We just ask ourselves: Is it different? Is it distinctive? Is it good?
  • If you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language in which they think.

  • You don't position brands anymore, you 'direction' them.

  • Our job is to make an emotional connection.
  • Brands are built around stories.
