Does it strike you as ironic that branding, the device intended to set you apart, just doesn’t seem to be, well, setting you apart anymore?

We are immersed in a world crammed with choice, yet much of it is depressingly ordinary. To build a brand that stands out requires a vision in which you combine market perspective, creative thinking, and an appetite for risk—creativity aimed at doing something better, having the backbone to stand up and declare it, and then delivering on your promise. Differentiating a brand is tough, we know, but being ordinary just makes life tougher.

And being ordinary is rarely an accident. Non-differentiated and uncompetitive brands are most often the result of timid, copycat or risk adverse brand strategy, misaligned and under talented teams, and failure to provide your customers with a memorable experience. Often there are problems in all three areas. If your competitors are getting the best of you in the marketplace, it is time to take a hard look at yourself. We have helped companies who have come to this conclusion by guiding them to:
