How to Create an Impossibly Great Brand by David Brier
Inspired by this quote: “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ― Muhammad Ali nspired byFast Company blogger David Brier is an award-winning designer and branding expert who works with startups, existing companies, both large and small to help them have a brand voice that gets heard. Too many companies start out with a cliche me-too message and then spend their entire marketing budget trying to now get noticed with a ball and chain of sound-alike messages and same-as-everyone-else branding.
