It starts by understanding what you want them to remember and then giving them that experience consistently.  It’s an honor and a previous responsibility to champion the legacy of a brand and its timeless values.Memorable experiences are specific. They are personal and when it’s personal it makes people believe that they are heard and seen.  It makes them feel important. And when people feel understood, everything else falls in place.Seek first to understand, before being understood.
