Why Strong Brands Require Strong Character

We are drowning in content. AI churns out torrents of words in seconds. Social feeds refresh with a flick of a thumb. Blogs, podcasts, videos, and ads blur together until they feel disposable. In all that noise, what makes a brand stand out? It isn’t a polished design. It isn’t clever copy. It isn’t having more content than the competition. The corporate or personal brands that cut through today are characters you can’t forget. Think about your favorite TV series…

From Elephants to AQ: Why Sticky Phrases Create Unstoppable Brands

Bryan Eisenberg

Most marketers underestimate just how physical persuasion really is. When you see someone smile, your mirror neurons smile. When you hear laughter, your brain laughs with them. Neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran calls them “empathy neurons” because they dissolve the barrier between self and others. This is why the most memorable ads don’t just tell you something. They make you feel it. They create knee-jerk reactions, inside jokes, even little catchphrases you carry into your daily conversations. Wassup! That’s what Dr. Matt…

We live in a world of metrics, where follower counts pass for credibility and virality masquerades as value. It’s tempting to believe that if people see you, they’ll follow you. But here’s the uncomfortable truth. Being seen isn’t the same as being believed. And being believed? That’s what moves people. Amanda Russell nailed it in The Influencer Code: “If nobody takes action because of you, you’re not an influencer. You’re just popular.” That line cut through the noise. Because over…

It was a product nobody wanted. Then one man touched it, and it became a $200 million phenomenon. No new features. No redesign. No big marketing budget. Only one thing changed and everything exploded. Here’s the story: In the 1990s, a small company created a fat-draining countertop grill. It worked. It solved a problem. But no one cared. Sales flatlined. The product sat on shelves, ignored and forgotten. They tried different strategies. Nothing moved the needle. Then came a breakthrough…

The Stories We Sell (Ourselves)

Bryan Eisenberg

You know what’s underrated? Belief. Not “hope.” Not “manifestation.” Not even “confidence.” I’m talking about conviction. The kind that gets you moving when you’ve got no traction, no approval, and no real roadmap. David J. Schwartz nailed it: “Believe you can succeed and you will.” It’s not just a nice quote – it’s a demand. Because belief changes what you attempt. And the minute you attempt, you create momentum. Action breeds confidence. Not the other way around. Most people are…

Physical Retail Is Not Dead Yet!

Bryan Eisenberg

Amazon almost killed Best Buy. Then Best Buy learned to Be a little more Like Amazon and it is doing great. You too can Be Like Amazon while not being like Amazon. Any business, retail or services, online or brick and mortar can learn from these principles. Build relationships, help people buy instead of focusing on selling them, understand your employees & customers’ motivation. Find ways to remove the friction in the experience through innovating your current processes.
