BRAND REVOLT
From revolting to revolutionary

 

 

October 2008

Divergence is greater

Rather than wanting more, consumers are breathing a sigh of relief (and joy) when presented with no-nonsense, focused products.

Mobile phone manufacturers, amongst a guilty many, continue to think that people want an all-in-one solution. Anecdotal evidence suggests the opposite is tending to be the case.

Being uncomplicated does not always require a brand to go entry-level or ‘budget’. In many cases brands can retain high levels of integrity and respect, without associations to cheapness.

Almost everyone loves designed simplicity (regardless of the economic climate).
