The Evergreen Playbook Releases Episode 004: "Processual Brand Thinking" with Michael Reinicke , Freelance Strategist

The Evergreen Playbook, the marketing and strategy podcast hosted by David Göz, has released Episode 004 of The Evergreen Playbook: Processual Brand Thinking. The episode features Michael Reinicke, Freelance Strategist in a conversation about Brand Strategy, Process, Management.

Most brand conversations are static snapshots. Michael Reinicke argues brand is a living process — and that changes everything.

What if the reason brand work fails isn't the strategy but the way we talk about brands in the first place?

Formerly Head of Strategy at KNSK and Managing Director of Die Neue Vernunft, Michael is on a mission to introduce processual brand thinking to the industry.

Michael Reinicke lays out the problems with how brand managers and marketing managers currently talk about brands — and how shifting to a processual model fixes those problems at their root.

A dense, rewarding conversation for anyone who works with brand strategy at depth and wants a framework that survives beyond a single campaign cycle.

"You can't manage a brand if you're treating it like a document."

— Michael Reinicke
