Branding
has to come from the heart. It can be as close to strategy as one can be, sometimes even inseperable. There are of course the techniques and mechanisms that are designed to favor our consumerism behaviors and sway our opinion to territories of discovery and experimentation but in the end branding can always be something stronger, something tied and inseperable to identity. That is when those two concepts can coexist, evolve together and become timeless and iconic.
