Is it not simply a matter of figuring out what is different (rationally or emotionally) about your brand and putting that in a message?* How are cognitive brands different? How do they and do they work?* You talk about “Brands with Empathy” and “Brands with Values” in your book? What are these? Why do brands need to have empathy or values?  What does that have to do with my product’s features and differences?* Most people argue that give the number of brands that are out there, the clutter of messages, consumer attention spans are shorter and brand messaging needs to be short and sweet.  How come you say that consumer attention spans are not getting shorter?* How should brands think about becoming experiential brands? Is this the same as sensory branding?* Most people say that in the world increasing competition and technology, consumers have more power.  But you say that marketers have increasing power given their knowledge of how consumers’ brains work?  What are the implications for ethics in how marketers should behave?Sandeep Dayal a seasoned marketing and strategy leader at the consulting firm Cerenti Marketing Group.
