Branding, Culture, Politics, and Everything in Between » ethos http://www.facade.fi HENRI WEIJO* Tue, 15 Jun 2010 14:40:39 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 A blog ethos I wish I had written http://www.facade.fi/2009/01/a-blog-ethos-i-wish-i-had-written/ http://www.facade.fi/2009/01/a-blog-ethos-i-wish-i-had-written/#comments Mon, 05 Jan 2009 09:29:26 +0000 http://www.facade.fi/?p=121 Check out the blog ethos from Culturemaking that I just discovered from Grant McCracken’s blogroll:

1. Everything is cultural (nothing can step outside of cultural representation)

2. Culture is the richest repository of innovation and brand development ideas

3. Inspiration exists in everything (cf. Paul Smith)

4. Branding is an art (but science can help)

5. Strategy cannot be divorced from execution (overlook design at your peril)

6. Complex problems have simple, easy to understand, wrong answers (cf. HL Mencken)

7. Diversity and inconsistency keeps life interesting for people (thus everything about this blog is subject to change)

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Too bad the blog seems inactive now, he seems very much the kindred spirit.
