Insight
Miller: Repeating disciplined soundbites until customers memorize them beats the competition
“And then the key is to stay disciplined and repeat those sound bites over and over and over until the audience that I am talking to has them memorized. And when they have my talking points memorized, I'm gonna smoke the competition.”

Miller: Brands should position themselves as guides, not heroes

Insight
Miller: The customer's problem represents 75% of effective brand messaging

Insight
Miller: Publicizing common industry practices creates perceived differentiation
“As soon as you talk about something that everybody else is doing anyway, you have just differentiated yourself because nobody else is talking about it. It's the difference between reality and perception. If my competitors aren't talking about this thing and I …”
