- In this era of infinite expectation and persistent change, absolutely nothing is more critical for a brand than to be and remain relevant. Brands that have an unyielding commitment to making smart, bold business moves that amaze customers, push competitors out of consideration, and even define entire categories – all while remaining unwaveringly authentic to who they are – will win. At Prophet, we don’t believe that a brand’s relevance should be confined to a moment in time. We believe a brand needs to stay dynamic, constantly pushing itself to earn and re-earn its position and loyalty in the marketplace. We believe winning brands must be RELENTLESSLY RELEVANT.
