Patrick Hanlon: Primal Branding
• This is how we started• This is who we are, why we are
here, how we are different• This is how we identify ourselves
and each other• Here is how we do things, this is how
we celebrate• This is how we describe ourselves
and what we do• This is what we are not and never
want to become• This is our leader
Be One of Us not One of Them

Build Your Story
Use these Memetic Hooks
Look for the difference
• A good meme is one that spreads.• A good meme is always about change.• Change wants attention.
That was then and this is now. • A good story is always about change
marketing is gardening
Memes spread in networks
