Now do you know the United Airlines, McDonalds or FedEx taglines are today? Marketing executive Steve Cone joins me to make the case that taglines – or slogans – are important and he explains why. Steve is author of the book Powerlines: Words that Sell Brands, Grip Fans and Sometimes Change History (https://amzn.to/2Cs38zJ).If you were to stand in the middle of your kitchen and look around, just how much food would you see?
