Making of Legendary Brand
Details
About the talk
The secret of a brand becoming a legend is in the story-telling, and how that story is projected and understood makes all the difference. The three key elements to understanding if the brand is a legend or not, are non-replicability, scalability and the ability to fascinate. To become a legend, the product must be popular with the community, with the business community, with the press, with the consumer. It’s not an individual statement, it is a large consensus. To become a legend, a brand needs to be disruptive, to generate a new category, a new standard, a new attractive solution, a new venture. The founder’s history and personality is important because you understand exactly what is the role of the founder. There is no legend that does not have a founder in an important role.
