KFC + BP + CPB = ? What's your brand stand for?

Puffer's picture

Interesting article on the acronymization of established brands. Not a new trend necessarily (FedEx and others have been doing it for years), but there's definitely been an uptick lately. In fact, just the other day I got in trouble for saying "Chevrolet" instead of "Chevy." Read the whole thing as they say and let us know your POV.

quotes

It is insight into human nature that is the key to the communicator's skill. For whereas the writer is concerned with what he puts into his writings, the communicator is concerned with what the reader gets out of it. He therefore becomes a student of how people read or listen.
