Chrysler: The Brand and Logo
Of course, brands are more than logos. A logo is merely our brain’s shortcut to remember our true feelings about a company or service. Former marketing executive and automotive insider Joe Schulte recently explained to us that there are two words that are critical to the notion of branding: reputation and image.via autos.aol.com Posted via web from Rommel will Post It...

Find out the following first: 1. who they are, 2. what’s their circulation (who will be receiving your message), and 3. who else (competitors) will be listed with you.

Google doesn’t have to take over the upstream industry to increase its profits; it just has to destroy their toll booth. By disrupting complementary industries and making them more competitive, Google is increasing their profits in their downstream industry. A lot of Google’s projects make sense when viewed...
