A podcast dedicated to the fundamentals of brand success.

What happens when you apply the principles of brand success to politics, and consider candidates as though they were brands? 

Our Brand Talk series is back, for a very special edition focussing on the upcoming elections in the UK and the US. Chris and Hazel are joined by Keiran Pedley (Director of Politics, UK) for a discussion of the successes and failures of British and American politicians and parties when measured against the key elements of our framework: Empathy, Context, and Expectations.
