Extra value aka. The Intangible substances that add value to your product or services. I like to use Liquid Death as an example for premium brands. They sell water but not water, that's because they have evolved the brand from a mere commodity to a set of ideas that people love and want to key into. There’s a lesson here, you can sell the most unique product or service in the world, but if the brand doesn't represent a set of ideas that people can resonate with, you will remain the best-kept secret in the world.

The weather meant, 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑒𝑙𝑙 BUT 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐤𝐲 𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝. Here’s why… ✊🏼 The skies opened across the country, snow fell & wind swept even the most hardened indoors. Sure sales dropped but they will have done across high streets nationwide. The most important part is that Perk & I actually turned up 🔥 We’re all about giving people a feeling of defiance, of being able to achieve more, more than society tells you you can. Therefore how could we shy away from the wet stuff, rather embrace it, stand firm & reinforce this message. ————————— 𝐌𝐘 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒: → LIVE YOUR BRAND. → It cannot be overstated. Everything you do must be on brand. The way you talk, act, sell. → Without brand you’re just a product.

Brands aren’t Root Cyclones. They don’t operate in vacuums. Bad pun, I know. But not as bad as pretending your brand acts in isolation from the world around it. Yet, that’s what so many brands do. They act like customers: - Only buy their products. - Aren’t affected by the world around them. - See their brand as the center of the universe. And then get surprised when their brands get affected by greater forces. Forces they ignored. Forces they didn’t plan for. Your brand exists in a context that you don’t fully control. Your customers have lives that are much deeper than your brand. And they live in a world that shapes them much more than anything you do.

A thought on brand that came out of a New Years Eve conversation. Your brand is not what people wsay about you when yu are not in the room Your brand is why people decide to make you part of there story. The story can be simple and small: Your story can be as simple as Tide detergent, where the story is they make whites whiter and simplicity. But you don't want the story of All detergent, where the story is they are cheaper and I don't care that much. The story can be large and in charge. Like Porsche or Rolex. Or family friendly like Volvo. But your product or service has to worth being in the story.

Why Authenticity Wins in a World of Filters?????? In a world obsessed with perfection, embracing a genuine, unfiltered brand may feel risky. But authenticity brings an unparalleled advantage: TRUST. A brand that’s real and relatable forges connections that polished facades simply can’t. Here’s why choosing authenticity over perfection creates real value: 1️⃣ Builds Trust: Honesty and transparency resonate, creating loyalty that lasts. 2️⃣ Drives Engagement: Real, relatable brands spark conversations that matter. 3️⃣ Creates Connection: People are drawn to brands that make them feel seen and understood. 4️⃣ Stands Out: In a sea of gloss, a genuine approach is refreshing and unforgettable. 5️⃣ Inspires Loyalty: When your brand feels authentic, people are more likely to stick around. Be the brand that’s a breath of fresh air—dare to be real in a world of filters.
