This episode breaks down the mechanics of brand value—not from a spreadsheet, but from how people feel, remember, and decide. Dan walks through how memory structures affect choice, how the Experience Economy changes what brands need to deliver, and why the “Beer on Mind” model still holds up.

He explains how most attempts to measure brand value fall short, and why internal culture shows up on the outside whether you’re paying attention or not.

You’ll hear how his work across ad agencies, design firms, and classrooms shaped a deeper view of what makes brands stick—and how they get pulled apart when leadership misses the real drivers of perception.

If you’re serious about building brands that stay top of mind—and top of wallet—this episode will give you plenty to think about.
