Hello there to all of our lovely TPBS readers!
We don’t half love a good quote to get us going, get those creative juices flowing and give us a little food for thought about the brands and businesses we work with every day. Today, we wanted to share that with all of you!
Here’s our favourite quotes from the world of branding, design and advertising – we’d love to read yours!
1. “Although we think that decision-making about brands depends strongly on functional benefits, it all comes down to one question: how will this make me feel?” – Kim Cramer and Alexander Koene, BR-ND (What a great one! How do your favourite brands make you feel? Creating an emotional connection with your customers is vital)
Â
2. “Unless you have absolute clarity of what your brand stands for, everything else is irrelevant.” – Mark Baynes, global cmo, Kellogg Co. (What does your brand stand for? Can’t think? Take some time to figure it out!)

3. “Identity is cause; brand is effect. And the strength of the former influences the strength of the latter.” – Larry Ackerman, The Identity Circle

5. “A brand is nothing more than a story wrapped around a product or service … the reason we consistently refer to a small handful of brands is because they’re the ones that have got their stories straight.” – Richard Cordiner, planning director, Leo Burnett
6. “Your brand is what other people say about you when you’re not in the room.” – Jeff Bezos (An oldie but goodie, great one to bear in mind!)
