Brand is a container for value created by everything you do. When it overflows you can use it to forge ahead, get more visitors, find partners and figure out new cultural events. On the flip side if you erode value by making the wrong promises, you can easily end up running on empty. Michel will flip your thinking about brand so you avoid common pitfalls and focus on how to put its value to work.
