Every Great Brand Needs a Villain. Mine Was Me.
By
Paul Kiernan
In marketing, we know it is vital to identify a villain a brand truly fights. Now these villains are tricky because they don’t wear all black, they don’t ride around in flashy cars, and they don’t make threats like, “You have ten minutes to stop the timer on this bomb, save the girl, and give me the briefcase full of money (or the secret codes or the plutonium), or the world will be destroyed.” The villains that marketing heroes like ThoughtLab fight are more subtle and less flashy.

Paul Kiernan
Sometimes, when we spend our days looking at screens and trying to write, it’s easy to forget the arsenal of power we have built in. We experience the world in far more than just words, screens, logos, headlines, posts, and calls to action. Smell, sound, texture, temperature, taste, physical space, movement. All of these things constantly gather information and attach themselves to experiences, whether we’re conscious of it or not. And that’s automagic.
