What is Branding?

Branding has been a complex subject...needless to say that over 6400+ books have been written on this subject and we are still counting. So, let us simplify the notion of Branding.

This video was conceived, written and narrated by award-winning designer, branding specialist and Fast Company blogger David Brier to distill branding down to its basics answering that basic question "What is branding?" 

Written plainly with equally minimalistic motion graphics, this video unveils the magic, the spark and the simplicity that is branding in its most fundamental form. Perfect for entrepreneurs, CEOs, innovators, rebels and disruptors of any kind.


Here is the narration

What is branding?

As creators, we want to think it’s about us, our brilliant talent, our skills we’ve perfected over the years — all these magical things: color, space, shape, tension, harmony, typography, beauty, simplicity.

Then why do certain brands become great brands? 

Brands that:
• connect, 
• resonate 
• and spread like wildfire...

It’s because we tapped into our ability to see. Not as ourselves, but as others.

To see the minute details and trends others don’t see.

Not just on the computer screen. 
Or in books. 
Or in galleries.

But in — and through — the eyes, hearts and minds of people.

Geniuses have that special skill to look at the universe of people and translate that into the universe of visual and written communications, to transform those observations we each sense into something we can each tangibly see. And understand.

That is the magic.

That is the spark.

That is the genius... that gets each of us interested. And keeps us going. 

For something greater. 

For something previously impossible. 

For something nobody ever thought of before. 

That is the magic of branding.

Avoid the 3A trap and SPEAK UP!!

Hi All, Most of the times we invite problems in our lives by saying YES. We tend to think that if we say No it will spoil our relationships with our members of the family, friends, boss and colleagues. But as a afterthought we know that our YESs' strain ourselves when we commit to lot of things that are unreasonable and taxing and often wonder why we are left as high and dry. It could be yielding to a demand to your spouse, saying yes to your boss for an assignment when you already have so much on your plate to deliver. Reflecting on my own life I think I could have avoided many uncomfortable situations if I had dared to say NO. Recently I picked up a book titled 'The Power of Positive No' by William Ury. The book addresses these issues pretty well and it also brings many examples and instances that we could relate to. We can avoid a trap called 3A trap namely Accomodation, Attack and Avoid that can make our lives simpler. - Accommodate is when we yield to ...
