Описание: Phil's core philosophy: why you don't have a brand if you only market online — and what to do about it.

How Shinola discovered that 70% of hotel guests had never purchased the brand, and the lending program they built to change that. Why shifting from product storytelling to memory-driven storytelling transformed how customers related to the brand.

What "experience by few, witnessed by many" means in practice and how to apply it to activations and content. The key difference between marketing a utility (Google) and marketing a premium product (Shinola) — and what each teaches you about emotional connection.
