#4 A brand personality?How can you/should you STRETCH?

Personality is the unique, authentic, and talkable soul

of your brand that people can get passionate about.

Personality is not just about what you stand for, but

how you choose to communicate it. It is also the way

to reconnect your customers, partners, employees,

and influencers to the soul of your brand in the new

social media era.
