When I was researching
the takeover of public space

:06:19
when I started off I thought
okay this is just advertising.

:06:23
We’ve always had advertising.
:06:25
It's just more advertising.
:06:27
But what l started
to understand

:06:28
and what I
understand now

:06:29
is that branding if not
advertising its production.

:06:33
The very
successful corporations

:06:35
the corporations of the future
do not produce products.

:06:38
They produced
brand meaning.

:06:41
The dissemination of
the idea of themselves

:06:43
is their act of production.
:06:45
And the dissemination of
the idea of themselves

:06:47
is an enormously
invasive project

:06:52
so how do you
make a brand idea?

:06:54
Well a good place to
start is by building

:06:58
a three dimensional
manifestation of your brand.

:07:00
For accompany like Disney
:07:02
it goes even further
:07:04
where it's actually building
a town Celebration Florida.

:07:06
Currently there are
about 5000 residents

:07:08
who call Celebration home.
:07:10
And there are about 1300
single-family homes

:07:13
a town centre that’s a place
where people gather.

:07:17
It has about four
or five restaurants

:07:20
and about a dozen
other shops.

:07:23
Their inspiration
their brand image

:07:26
is the all American family.
:07:28
And the sort of
by gone American town.

:07:50
Their brand driver is family
magic and everything

:07:54
that the company does is in
and around those two words.

:07:59
If you take that
