Three forces are driving this change.First, most CMOs and CEOs want to acquire more customers with less investment. Second, great brand ads don\xe2\x80\x99t create a great brand experience. Finally, too much of the money being spent by marketers is easily ignored as attention is harder to grasp than ever.We believe you can\xe2\x80\x99t grow a brand if people don\xe2\x80\x99t notice what you create. People don\xe2\x80\x99t see the expected. People don\xe2\x80\x99t see the predictable. The familiar is too often forgotten. Which is why we create The Never Before.The Never Before is the most elusive of ideas. The one you never saw coming, but you will never forget. The kind that turns the expected on its head. The Never Before doesn\xe2\x80\x99t have a template. There are no guidelines. It will make you nervous, good nervous. But if it gets made, it will make everyone else jealous. Yes, people will have \xe2\x80\x98concerns\xe2\x80\x99. But that\xe2\x80\x99s how you know you\xe2\x80\x99re close.
