Comment on How to Dilute Your Brand in 3 Easy Steps by todd

Jason, those are symptoms of a much larger problem. Someone decided that the next step for Guitar Hero was to promote it in this particular way, and that way is totally incompatible with what the brand stands for so far. Which way is going to win out?

Maybe I’m cynical, but maybe everything goes through this phase if it is to reach the next level. Did anyone at Harmonix sign off on this? I can’t imagine anyone who was close to the product would think this is a good idea. Maybe this is just what happens when you give your product to some partner who knows nothing about your company or your history and say, “market this for me.”

To summarize:

1. Too small
2. Shitty technology
3. No sound

My hypothesis is that Tony the Tiger is the one making these toys and putting them in the box.

In this blog I expose something similar, though my idea is less brilliant than Dan Ariely’s approaches. The Spanish university is very bad, I am sorry.

“Not really stealing” — That’s quite interesting. It is pathetic how people find ways to justify themselves because they didn’t take money. But the truth is they took something in exchange for money. It’s just as bad.

Honestly, I’d rather steal a purse from an old lady, than bother with a well crafted scam. Cut out the middle man, right?

Good read. Peace!

Hey Todd. Saw this article (one of our interns wrote something similar). My colleague told me we’re trying to coax Dan into coming to speak with us at Thrive HQ. If we’re able to, I’ll send you a message and maybe you can pop over from Boston.

Colin.

Hey,
We have the same name. I’m in Atlanta. You are a little younger it seems, but I just wanted to say hello.

Thanks for this!

I have been looking for a “just the facts” elucidation of how the process SHOULD work and in what sequence…

Well done.
