relationship between brand and user.
There are no tricks or shortcuts, you
cannot fake it.

2) Value creation
3) Real-time
We are hardwired to a social interaction.

A brand personality is ethical, rational and emotional – Who are you, what you do & why that
matters.
Good brand sells stuff, great brands sell meaning.
Brands are creating more content than ever before on more platforms than ever before
while simultaneously complaining about the difficulty of cutting through the noise.
