Lesson #5: From Sight to Sound, Create a Signature Brand
It has been described as a “throaty pounding and off-centered drumming beat,” but everyone who owns a Harley-Davidson motorcycle knows what it is to hear one. In fact, the adept ear can pick a Harley out of a crowd before the eyes are even able to see it; every bike the company produces sounds the same when you turn the keys, and yet completely different from any other bike manufacturer.

From Founder to Leader – Building a Company From an Idea
“Right now it's only a notion, but I think I can get the money to make it into a concept, and later turn it into an idea.” -- Woody Allen Much has changed since Woody Allen came up with this line in 1977 – but the basic premise remains – any entrepreneur has the ability to bring an idea to fruition with the right backing.

And the team is not just the company's founders and employees.
Getting your story straight - not so Innocent!
Innocent was launched in 1999, and ten years on, has over two thirds of the UK smoothie market, selling two million smoothies a week. Their smoothies are delicious and 100 percent natural, but that doesn’t explain their success. The three founders came from advertising and marketing backgrounds, not food.
