What is Intangience™ ?

Intangience™ is a portmanteau of the phrases intangible values and the science of human connection.

It is a unique methodology that teaches how to best define a brand and create a compelling brand story which emotionally connects with consumers.

Intangience™ is comprised of three schools of thought :
1. Pillars of Purpose
These are the three  building blocks upon which the brand architecture is structured. It is an introspective process through which three questions help define the brand identity, purpose, legacy and a universal truth about the industry or environment in which it lives.

2. Currency of Conversation 
These are the three points of reference which determine how the currency of a brand reputation and popularity is traded.

3. Science of Human Connection. 
These are the three underlying principles that dictate how a brand creates lasting, meaningful emotional connections with consumers.

Each of these will in turn reveal what makes up a compelling brand story, its influence on human behavior and how you can use it for positive purposes.
