Creating value from ideas and connections. When looking at a brand we see intricate functional and emotional interrelationships. We have devised the O+CO “Brand Cycle” methodology to help understand and manage how a brand works. It focuses and aligns the many facets of a brand into three connected domains — “Promise,” “Experience,” and “Reputation.” Our video, “Creating a Better Connection,” explains how this logical approach allows an organization to create greater value when stakeholders understand what a brand is and how it really works.
