Theoretically speaking
"Each brand has its own core value. Dan Wieden says it another way: Brands are verbs. 'Nike exhorts, IBM solves, and Sony dreams.' Even Mr. Whipple, as bad as he was, helped Charmin equal soft.
This is an important point, and before we talk about strategy, it bears some discussion.
People don’t have time to figure out what your brand stands for. It is up to you to make your brand stand for something. The way to do it is to make your brand stand for one thing. Brand = adjective."

"Sk8 or home"
We already knew that the skateboarding universe has a tremendous influence and impact in the current urban culture (graphic design, clothing, language, etc.).
Now "recycling" sk8 decks, trucks and wheels and turn them into house furniture, is indeed a novelty.

Mr. Lovemarks
"You never get insight from formal research. For most consumer companies, consumer insight is just an agglomeration of facts. Every company has tons and tons of data, but they are all asking the same questions. Information and knowledge are table stakes. Insight and foresight win."

The more diverse the spectrum of the company the better you communicate." -- José Cabaço, (new) CCO Euro RSCG, North America
