Brand values that make brands valuable
In a nutshell
How do you make your buying decisions? Most of us make decisions based on gut instinct. If the brand represents the same values as we ourselves, we perceive it more positively right away: If there is a fit, we grab it. If it doesn’t fit like that, we’d better leave it alone. Brand values can therefore be an essential growth driver, but above all they should be one thing: honest.
