Questions about the What a Brand Is poster

What’s on the What a Brand Is poster?

What it is not against What it is, side by side. What it is not: The logo — that is an identifier; What it is not: The colour palette — that is an asset; What it is not: The advertising — that is an input; What it is not: What you say you are; What it is not: A document in a drawer; What it is: Memory structures in the buyer's mind; What it is: Built by every experience, not only ads; What it is: Held by customers, not by the company; What it is: Reduces perceived risk in a decision; What it is: An asset with measurable value; You control the inputs. The brand is the output, and it lives in other people's heads.. This is why a service failure damages a brand faster than advertising builds it. Experience outweighs claims.
