5 Tips For A Great Company Theme!

        What is a theme anyways? I think the best way to understand what a theme is, is to remember that theme and slogan go hand in hand. This is a punchy, short phrase that is consistent across different media. Consumers see the theme (or slogan) and immediately know the company.
        Let's play a game. Below are a list of different company themes. Do you know the company?
"Just do it"
"Impossible is Nothing"
"I'm lovin' it"
"Reassuringly Expensive"
"The Ultimate Driving Machine"
"Because I'm worth it"
"The Best A Man Can Get"
"Always Coca-Cola"

How'd you do?
