Bold Unbranding Hey there! When we think about what makes a successful marketing campaign, clear branding is one of the first things that comes to mind. Whether it's in TV spots or product packaging, we're accustomed to large logos and familiar taglines signalling which brand we're buying into. However, some companies are turning that idea on its head. In our insight Bold Unbranding, we explore how a number of companies have forgone traditional branding in favor of iconic imagery, streamlined package designs, and clever ad campaigns that simply hint at well-known products instead of identifying them upfront. Check it out, and enjoy this week's top trends below! Cheers, Jeremy Gutsche CEO, Author & Keynote Speaker - JeremyGutsche.com P.S.
