I am a Brand.
I am much more than a logo, name or marketing campaign.
I am sometimes a verb (when used on cattle), more often a noun.
You can find me somewhere between a feeling and the organisation.
I can be a promise, a principle, a point of engagement, an organising system, a way to align what we do.
I make what we care about visible.
In the end I am a result (of the promises we keep).
I am a Brand.
See you next week.
