* Adam’s agency Thinkerbell

* Adam’s book: Stop listening to the customer

Summary

* Adam Ferrier challenges the idea of being "customer-obsessed," arguing that brands lose their identity by focusing too much on consumer needs.

* He believes brands should prioritize their own values and what they stand for instead of solely catering to customer demands.

* Companies like Apple and IKEA are examples of successful brands that don’t always prioritize customer convenience but stick to their vision.

* Ferrier suggests that modern marketing often dilutes creativity, and strong brand leadership is essential to keep a brand distinct.

* He advocates for a company-wide approach to branding, where everyone, not just the marketing department, is responsible for the brand's success.
