Show notes

Are you considering a refresh of your brand? Roger Martin, one of the world’s leading thinkers on strategy, says you should probably rethink that.

Martin also offers real-world examples of brand updates gone wrong (and right) — from laundry detergents to social media platforms and even the iPhone.
