BrandKnew September 2013 March 2014 | Page 4

07 09 13 Dear Friends: The year seems to hurtling past us, its already March and expectedly there is a spring in everyone’s step. In keeping with that energy levels, this issue of Brand Knew brings in an array of features that excite, motivate and incite. Right from the The Global Retail Brand Store is Dead to the feature Dovetailing Reality, there is both introspection and prognosis in good measure. The Big Brand Theory and how Dell is walking that path will be of very good interest to our readers and so would the Infograhpic showing the Visual Design Trends for 2014. The How to Win over Customers: Lessons from 8 Rock Star brands will be treasured I reckon. For all those who believe disruption is the need of the hour, the feature on Writing Your Brand’s Obituary will reveal some grave truths. All this and more. Read, Relish, Respond. See you in the next issue.
