Every company needs a corporate dictionary
There is a form of creativity so powerful that it only takes one look and one listen for millions of consumers to remember it, like it, buy it, and tell others about it. These are so-called Super Signs – the brands that are embedded in human culture and hidden deep in our subconscious.
This book takes a fresh approach to branding and explores how to turn brands into Super Signs in today’s competitive and ever-changing world. Super Signs are the most effective and powerful means of influencing a consumer’s actions. From a branding point of view, Super Signs are the ultimate level that your brand can reach — a level where the brand triggers an instinctive reaction in thought and action from the consumer. Today we hear from the founders of HUA&HUA and authors of Super Signs, one of China’s leading branding and strategy consultancies on how every company needs a corporate dictionary.

4 tips on how to practice in business
The performance mindset begins, rather prosaically, with practice. The practice is where creativity begins. Musicians play scales and exercises for hours at a time. Dancers build stamina and core strength in the gym, and then they are their dance partner work on small aspects of their routine – for hours every day, day after day. Actors spend weeks studying scripts and talking to themselves, looking for a way to inhabit their role. All great performing artists practice very hard. Nobody masters their craft without practice. The same tips apply to how to practice in business. We hear from authors of The Five Principles of Performance Thinking by Jonathan Gifford and Mark Powell.
