When we first started debating Beyond Branding many moons ago, a key theme emerged: why not remove all the expensive image-making of branding, see what B-B models people can participate in reality-making?...then always renegotiate branding budgets with hi-trust perception makers because YES we do understand human beings love stories AS LONG AS they compound better futures for all who invest their trust in the identities and contexts revolved...

Since it unifies the simplest systemic experiences of Knowledge & Brand experts, this weekend's joyous declaration of interdependence: one of the first successful B-B models is whynot collaboration cities - ones which recognise the 21st C by going beyond only being the hub of transport to imagination and innovation centres where people love to open real communal space and spirit for a few days before linking back to other deep modes of service and networking economies
