07 11 Dear Friends: The New Year has made a frenetic beginning. Just as we were catching up and finishing tying up the loose ends of the year gone by, 2014 has hit us like an avalanche. January has whizzed past us. In this issue we look back and look ahead. Therefore you can soak in the features on The Best Perceived Brands of 2013 and The Most Successful Branding Stories of 2013 whilst looking ahead at The 5 Big Social Media Trends for 2014, What The Best Brands Will Do in 2014 and the Personal Branding Trends that we can witness in this year. We also take a look at good old Above The Line Advertising and why it still remains an pertinent branding tool while we also take in the importance of the ‘Creative Brief‘ and How to Achieve Results Driven Marketing Creatives. There is lots more packed in for you to savor. So until next month, here’s to happy Brand Knewing!
