Really great article. I work as a consultant helping people build brands and most people do not understand the importance of building a solid thorough brand from the start.
Additionally, many people fall victim to brand confusion. Their logo, mission statement, marketing statement, and vision to not mesh and I think this is where most companies fail!
Great article though, I hope you will continue to pump out content like this because I am following you now!
