Coke = Brand Mastery<\/strong>
\nI must admire Coke for their masterful work in Brand Management.\u00a0 I mean, how can you hate a product that makes you smile like this?
\nWhat’s YOUR Brand?<\/strong>
\nI think there’s a lesson here — but it’s not about sugary soda. It’s about things YOU can do, every day, to enhance your “brand” in the world, and change the impact you have on other people:
\nDo the unexpected. <\/strong>Share joy. Do things that give people a reason to smile<\/span>. <\/strong>Send flowers.<\/span> <\/span>Serve “community food” that brings people together (like pizza or a long sub). <\/em> Be random. <\/strong>Create a positive environment.<\/span> Give hugs. <\/strong>When people ask you for something, occasionally give them more than they asked for<\/span>.<\/span> <\/em> Laugh. <\/strong>Share with friends.
\nYes, I may be a Coca Cola Grouch when it comes to their product, but I LOVE their message. Share some Happiness today! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
