			<content:encoded><![CDATA[In all likelihood, Gandhi probably wasn’t thinking about branding when he uttered these wise words, but he may as well have been. 

Whether you call it ‘harmony’, ‘integrity’, ‘authenticity’ or ‘360-degree branding’, great companies all have it in common – they know who they are, they communicate it clearly, and they live it in everything they do. 

The less enlightened? Well they’re stuck believing a flashy ad campaign is enough to connect with their audience. They’re imagining branding stops at the cash register. And they’re wondering where everybody went.

The Apples, IKEAs and Nikes of this world – they’re so in harmony they’re practically zen. They think uniquely. They offer something distinct. And everything they do, they do their way.  

And we reckon even Gandhi would find them hard to resist.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We all know the story of Kerry Packer’s dramatic struggle to win the broadcasting rights for Australian cricket – and how he had to overthrow the establishment and create his own brand of the game, World Series Cricket, to do it.

But from a branding point of view, the key ingredient came from Sydney ad agency, MoJo. Briefed by Kerry with the anything-but-easy task of making his fledgling product a smash, Mo and Jo answered with…

A jingle? Really? But this was ‘C’mon Aussie, C’mon’ – an anthem that heroed the crowd (despite featuring the players) and captured the spirit of being a supporter like never before.

44 years later, and the players have all changed, Kerry is no longer with us, and there’s a whole new form of cricket changing the game – but we’re still cheering on our team with ‘C’mon Aussie, C’mon’.

And we probably always will.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[It’s true that you’re only limited by your imagination. And it’s beautiful to know that right there, in that space of who-knows-what we can plant seeds that, delivered from a single, intangible, untouchable thought, can grow into something real, and become something amazing. How great our minds are. 

This is where the best brands are created. Where they’re considered, crafted and eventually consolidated into the empires they become. Think Virgin when it was born. It was Branson’s pioneering business foresight and sense of what might be possible that saw him launch one of the world’s great brands. 

Today Virgin dominates markets stretching from personal banking to personal space travel, and is still moving from strength to strength. 

And to think it all started with a bit of imagination, a crate of records and an up-yours to conventional music shops.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Unfortunately, this is what happens to many of us because we close ourselves off to new experiences. But like the rest of our bodies, our brains grow weak if they are not regularly stretched. 

The same is true with brands. Leave them on the shelf and they will grow weak. Pull them to one side and ask them to confess their strengths and they will grow strong. That’s why Mars can sell ice cream, Porsche can sell 4&#215;4 diesel automatics and Apple can print money. ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Want to know in which direction oblivion lies? The answer is straight on. Nobody knows what the future will hold, but you can bet your boots that it will be different to today. Hence, proceeding on in an orderly fashion will, more likely than not, eventually end up with you looking down a hole at your own demise unless you start looking sideways as well as forwards.

Look at railway companies for instance. They have a one-track mind. They think they are in the business of transporting people from A to B, when in fact they could be doing so much more. Train operators like City Rail have a captive audience that could be interested in more than fares and schedules. Passengers could be watered, fed, pampered and even entertained. Where, for instance, are the on-board power points? Where is the on-board wi-fi? Currently everyone is just bored on-board.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[On 15th December 1979 two Canadian wordsmiths, Chris Haney and Scott Abbott, were playing scrabble. But having piled up a few letters they noticed that a few were missing. So they set about trying to invent a new game based on random bits of knowledge. The result was Trivial Pursuit, one of the biggest selling games in history. Moral? A problem is just an opportunity in reverse. Great ideas, more often than not, rely on the simplification of complex questions and categories.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Here’s a rubbery idea. Once upon a time cars had ‘tyres’ made of solid metal and wood. Rubber tyres came around the corner pretty fast, but they too were made of solid material, which was not very good at absorbing bumps and liable to become sticky when hot and brittle when cold.

Enter one Charles Goodyear. He discovered that when lead, sulphur and rubber are mixed together and then heated, the result is a material that snaps back to its original shape after being stretched. Flexible thinking, you might call it. Mr Goodyear’s idea went on to expand both the auto industry and his bank balance.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Shells and trumpet shaped devices were the earliest forms of hearing aid, but it was not until 1902 that Miller Hutchinson, of Mobile Alabama, designed a table-mounted microphone and a set of earphones. This was soon improved upon with the invention of the vacuum tube and then, in 1940, Sam Posen invented what we recognise today as the hearing aid.

By 1950, scientists were experimenting with direct stimulation of acoustic nerves with electrodes and, by 1970, cochlear implants had been successfully tested. Does this mean that we should now stop listening for new ideas? No. Invention never ends. It’s a case of from hear to eternity, you might say.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[You’ve probably never heard of Roy Brooks. He was a real estate agent who told the truth. Back in the 1960s and 70s he wrote honest advertisements for real estate that appeared in the Observer and the Sunday Times. Warts and all headlines included gems like “seedy, fly-blown family house with peeling décor” and “distinctly undesirable residence.”

You might think that candour such as this would be bad for business but quite the opposite. Roy Brook’s advertisements became required Sunday reading, even if you weren’t in the market for a house. There is even a story that one newspaper offered Roy free ad space because his ads were boosting circulation.

Time to put the ‘real’ back into real estate once again perhaps?]]></content:encoded>
