$400,000 to stay the same

26 July 2005

Stefan Liute points to the absurd story of Singapore authorities paying Interbrand $400 000 to rebrand Marina Bay… only to decide to leave the name unchanged. The really funny part of the coverage is this: Finding the right name for the city-state’s revised downtown which will include the much-debated resort

I spoke too soon

25 March 2005

So yesterday I smugly say that conferences where we have to sit and endure powerpoint are “exactly the kind of event I would avoid these days.” And yet barely 3 hours later, I saunter into Six Apart’s evening blogging conference here in London… for a good 2 hours of being

High status BS

23 May 2004

Branding is so often mired in the Land of High Status. Why, oh why, are agencies so grandiose in the way they describe their clients and themselves? The other day, I picked up the promotional brochure of Incepta Marketing Intelligence, entitled “Demystifying Solutions”. Here are few fairly representative highlights. The

The language of branding

21 January 2004

I’m feeling more and more uneasy about the language of marketing/branding. I’ve felt this unease for a long time, but I’m finding it harder and harder to ignore or even tolerate.

Sunny Delight

27 November 2003
