Brand: It Ain't The Logo

Brands are more important than ever to the survival of North American business. Our manufacturing base continues to disappear. An unprecedented volume of commercial messaging makes it ever more difficult for Brands to reach customers or employees. Yet "Brand" is misunderstood.
