  • Identifying yourself as a brand makes it evident that you are only after one thing: selling — and this undermines your relationships #
  • A service that someone provides may very well be identified as a brand, such as “Susan’s brand of marketing really delivers results” #
  • Just as corporations are not people, human beings are not brands #
  • Brands don’t possess or convey the unique qualities that humans do: personality, soul, moods … #
  • Branding is a marketing exercise designed by committees for the objective of advertising a product or service more effectively to the masses #
  • Telling people they are brands is a facile way for self-annointed experts and gurus to sell their snake oil #
  • With social media week coming up, we’re sure to hear a lot of talk about how people are brands — which is abject nonsense, of course #
