“Great brands compel us.
They read our minds.

They reflect what’s in our hearts.
They “get us.”

They inspire us to do things spontaneously.

They help us overcome indecision and stagnancy.

Without a second thought.”
― David Brier, Rich Brand Poor Brand: How to Unleash Your David in a World of Goliaths

“Great brands have wonderful things to convey compared to lousy brands. When lousy brands say “great service,” it means something very different than when a great brand utters the same words.”

“The smartest and most productive groups (and entrepreneurs) I’ve ever known have several traits in common:

1. They are always curious.
2. The intelligence of others doesn’t intimidate them, it excites them.
3. Acknowledging that they don’t know doesn’t scare them.
4. New ideas strengthen their resolve to discover more and question more.
5. Admitting “I don’t know” is an asset, not a liability.”

“There are numerous other tools companies don’t know how to use or haven’t mastered. And I am not talking about “social media” as a tool. Social media is a distribution tool. I’m talking about design, color, imagery, typography, style and form (as in packaging).”
