Have you ever noticed that the top brands are the best understood and the best remembered? There’s usually a clear correlation of these two aspects. Last week’s Print ’09 was a success in many ways … aside from the excellent Chicago weather it was easy for exhibitors to stand out. And many did.

With fewer exhibits that were mostly smaller than in years past, it was also easier to be memorable. Here’s my take on it. I had plenty to see and learn during the week but I wasn’t totally exhausted at the end. Technology, innovation, productivity and improved design were the primary ingredients to some very impressive equipment.
Printers have similar branding challenges: How to show and tell just enough to be remembered. Sometimes the key is not to say or tell too much.
