Brands Quotes

  • "It's no coincidence that Woolworths and Jane Norman went bust—no one looked up to them. Nobody ever walked into Woolworths and felt like they weren't good enough."
    Harriet Walker, British fashion journalist

  • "More than simply products, gadgets like the iPad and programmes like The Wire have become badges—ways to identify ourselves in a world in which the traditional ways of classifying us by social class and mainstream religion are losing their purchase. On social networks like Facebook, it’s easy to get lost. Profiling ourselves according to the things we really like makes it easy to mark ourselves out from the crowd, and gives us a flock to fly with."
    James Harkin, British writer and social forecaster
    Source: Independent (London) (March 28, 2011)

    Shelly Lazarus (1949–), US chairman of Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide

  • "Truly great brands are far more than just labels for products; they are symbols that encapsulate the desires of consumers; they are standards that are held aloft under which the masses congregate."
