Myths & Reality About Branding
By Larry Checco September, 2009 Recently I was asked if I would help an organization develop a branding campaign. I politely declined. “But I thought you specialized in branding?” came the quizzical comeback. “I do,” I replied. “But to me a branding campaign is an oxymoron.
