"The Rise of the Creative Class"



"The 3T’s of economic development are Talent, Technology and Tolerance.

The driving force behind any effective economic strategy is talented people. We live a more mobile age than ever before. People, especially top creative talent, move around a lot.

A community’s ability to attract and retain top talent is the defining issue of the creative age."

"Hi. I'm a (new) PC"

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."

"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."
