    practice
    • Try to be funny as well as controversial.

    • Don’t go too far—you might get banned altogether!

    • If possible, link the controversial brand to your company’s name. This will help you in defending against banning charges.

    • The main appeal of controversial brand names is to younger people. This idea would not work for an older audience, or in a “serious” context such as financial services.

    In practice
    • Have a clear idea yourself of what your corporate vision is going to be.

    • Communicate the vision consistently and frequently.

    • Ensure that the staff can see that there is something in it for them in terms of self-esteem and the esteem of others.

    • Help staff to realize the vision.
