Future of Branding: Enduring brands
On Wednesday, October 21st, I led a panel to learn about resilience through five very different brands' experiences. From B2B to B2C, from aspirational to essential, these brands have confronted grueling trials, including economic upheaval, world wars and now, a global pandemic. But these agile marketers are braving the COVID-19 era by keeping one eye fixed on the past and another focused firmly on the future.

The myth of the “short name”
Whether it’s for a rebrand or a new brand, product or service, your company’s name(s) play a vital role in your brand experience. If you’ve been a brand marketer long enough, you will come to recognize and be asked to name to trends. The key problem with this ask is that trends disappear, and what you’re left with is a neon sign of a forgotten time.

What is freedom? SUVs versus EVs
In August 2020, The Global Action Plan cited polling results suggesting that the UK public wants to see government encourage car manufacturers to produce more Electric Vehicles (EVs). It would stand to reason that given the focus on their children, parents would be eager to invest in a form of transport that ensures the safety of future generations.
