On the strange and weird land that is the delta between what we believe/know about how brand-building communications work and how we actually first respond to new and unfamiliar ideas. And some practical (!) suggestions for doing it better. martinweigel.org/mrweigelgma…

It was a bank holiday weekend and I had time on my hands. That's my alibi for this and I'm sticking to it. martinweigel.org/mrweigelgma…
