The Importance of Selling an Idea, Not a Commodity.
Steve Jobs, entrepreneur, philosopher, and marketing genius, talks to us about the fundamentally ground-breaking idea of how creating and selling a product means something deeper than just a commodity being presented to the public.
“Marketing is about values. It’s a complicated and noisy world, and we’re not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us. No company is. So we have to be really clear about what we want them to know about us.” ~ Steve Jobs
To Jobs, creating a brand means something more – it needs to represent ideas, values–something on a core level that people either identify with or don’t.
