Two questions to ask

The Identity Question What about my brand connects with my target audience’s identity?

The Experience Question How can I create experiences that consistently summon identity-relevant thoughts and feelings about my brand.


Brand experience

How to create dependence

Stand for a worldview.

Ask: how to be indispensable?

Create strong thoughts, feelings and behaviors through compelling brand experiences.

Think beyond features and functionality. What will make your brand a surrogate for your consumer?

Focus on the early majority.
