This was an incredible read. I've always said how the best brands build entire worlds rather just being a logo and color palette. This has me thinking how this could apply to a service based industry rather than just a product based business?

Yes yes yes. I try explaining this all the time but so many people don’t seem to get it (yet). You articulated everything so well. Bravo!

I wanted to restack every other sentence in this post! So eloquently explained. I've been thinking about brand universes a lot and love your perspectives here.

Every brand is its own BCU. Love this. The brand behind Vacation sunscreen is an amazing example of a BCU.

This is incredible. There are so many threads I've been working to apply in my own client work, but so tidily articulated.

Amazing read! You've brilliantly articulated ideas that have been swirling around in my head around brand-building and the redundancy of a lot of traditional, rigid brand strategy work today
