  2. ROADMAP • Creating a Bomb-Proof Brand Identity • Integrated Platform: Your best shot at creating a bomb-proof brand is with integration • Crisis Management: what happens if you get shot at (and you will)? • Guiding/Managing the Dialog: Nature of interactive medium means relinquishing some control • Summary

  3. According to Scott Bedbury: • “Branding is about taking something common and improving upon it in ways that make it more valuable and meaningful” • “A brand is the sum of the good, the bad, the ugly, the off-strategy. It is defined by your best…[and] worst product. It is defined by award-winning advertising as by the god-awful ads that somehow slipped through the cracks… It is defined by the accomplishments of your best employee…as well as by the mishaps of the worst hire you ever made… • “As such you can’t entirely control a brand. At best you only guide and influence it.”
