    As you know, I have NOT been able to get our brand into three one-syllable words, so here’s a nod to the challenge of that. But getting other people to talk about us with love and appreciation? That is not so hard and is an opportunity that awaits just about any business.

    I loved what a commenter had to say on my post you referenced above, “The only thing you can control is your own sincerity.” I thought that was a great way to inject some comfort and some actionables into the branding process, from the brand owner’s point of view.

    Same here re three words. But, it’s a goal!
    In any event - working to avoid same ol’ same ol’ marketing speak.

    Love the sincerity comment.
