Guest Quote:

“ I think you look at as a marketer as you're going through is you really have to understand your brand and the position your brand has. And I think sometimes as marketers, we get tired. We get tired of our logo. We get tired of our tagline. We get tired of our positioning, and we want to be something else. Yet those are things that our audiences really value and they don't get tired. They don't look at it every day. I think I learned from Hallmark - Hallmark never changed their logo. That crown has always been that crown. The color has always been the color. I mean, you think of the years that they were, you know, if you care enough to send the very best.”
