Top 10 Branding Mistakes Companies Make - How to Build a Successful Brand Today

[@wolfgangk1]

Of your many spot-on points is the "EVERYONE HAS A SAY" that makes me crazy. I'll pull out of a project that nanosecond I learn that there are folks on the team because their "feelings will be hurt" or they'll be "mad". Invariably, those types have NOTHING creative or worthwhile to contribute and will throw a fit if you don't take their "suggestion." I've seen hours of intelligent design vetoed and stripped down to smithereens in order to accommodate everyone's "feelings"

Man, Wolfgang, I feel ya. I hear the frustration dripping out of your every word.

@@PhilipVanDusen Is it that obvious. I'm a slave to aesthetics throughout my entire life. I love for everything to be beautiful, classic, and timeless. Frankly, it's a curse. I'm a photographer. Folks are thunderstruck when they see photos that I took 40 years ago because they still look "cool." I consciously intend to make my images iconic. I'm admittedly passionate. I can't work with anyone who's not passionate and have an idea of what timelessness, iconic, classic, and beautiful are or aren't daily yearning to educate themselves with expert channels like yours--and even if I give them the link--they still won't watch (because they've arrived--VERY typical) At some point it all comes down to a Dunning-Kruger Effect Generation and there's no transcending that--so I'm left dripping with frustration.

Clubhouse? It was born dead.

Interesting perspective. I felt the same way about Periscope. It will be interesting to see how it play out over time. But the fact that other more established brands are chasing them: ie. Twitter "spaces"...is also fascinating.
