Thanks again for your insights. The Phil Cooke stuff is interesting for sure. I hadn’t heard of him. Thanks for the link and insight.

It is becoming more and more clear this issue of clarity of values and purpose is a big key in any environment especially a tough economic one like today. People migrate to clarity in uncertain times.

Thanks again.

Ed

I recently heard they may be starting a dollar menu too, which just seems like a bad idea. It’s not their brand.

Which may apply to the Church in that innovation is good, but every local church has a story, a vision – a brand – that shouldn’t be forsaken in the name of innovation.

Phil Cooke posted an interesting blog piece yesterday titled, “Survive this financial crisis through the power of a strong brand.” It’s here. It reminded me of this post, and draws together some thoughts on Starbucks, branding, and the Church.
