20 Must Read Branding Articles of 2009

I write about corporate branding for a fantastic organization called Corporate Eye, and this week, I published a list of what I think were my 20 must read blog posts about branding that I wrote for the Corporate Eye blog in 2009.

While I can’t republish the articles here on KeySplash Creative Conversations, I can provide the link to my list of the top 20 must read branding articles of 2009 that I wrote for Corporate Eye.

I’m going to be publishing my list of the top 10 branding and marketing communications trends for 2010 in January and February on Entrepreneur.com, so stay tuned for those lists!

11 Phrases that Destroy Brand and Marketing Innovation

I wrote a post for Corporate Eye today that I want to share with my readers on KeySplash Creative Conversations as well.  It’s called 11 Phrases that Destroy Brand Innovation. 

In the post, I share 11 of those phrases that anyone who has ever sat through a corporate marketing meeting is sure to have heard before – probably too many times to count. 

Here are a few of my favorites:

• Nobody wants that.
• We’ve already tried that.
• Who’s going to take the blame if it doesn’t work?

Take a look at my post on Corporate Eye and share your additions to the list of phrases that destroy brand or marketing innovation.  Or leave a comment here on KeySplash Creative Conversations with your brand and marketing innovation killers. 

Come on.  You know you have some to share!
