We believe everything that matters in our 
business begins and ends with two things
You can look at a business 
problem as a set of numbers 
and statistics…
“ 
”
Or, you can look at it as the result 
of a specific human behavior.

HOW DO YOU 
TRANSFORM HUMAN 
BEHAVIOUR?
11 
WITH CONVICTION. 
WITH PURPOSE.
Conviction: 
What the brand believes. What the 
brand is passionate about. “We 
believe that… 
12 
Purpose: Why the brand exists in human 
terms; needs to be grounded in the 
brand’s core business. “We exist to 
….”
We need to put a meaningful human purpose 
at the center of our brands. 
Not a promise. Not a position. Not a benefit. 
Not an attribute. 
A Purpose.
PURPOSE BRANDS 
Are more powerful things. 
They are the ones we always quote, reference, 
look to for inspiration. They are on a mission to 
do something worthy...to make life better for the 
people they serve.
PURPOSE BRANDS 
Have conviction. 
They know why they exist. 
They share their passion. 
They attract believers, not consumers.
