Life happens when things intersect. It’s how wars are fought.
It’s how babies are made. It’s how people connect with the
world – and brands – around them.
Some believe the bond between people and brands is over
hyped. Others believe it runs deep. The one truth we know for
sure is the more we connect, the more loyal we become.Jim Thompson, The Brand Channel
