Authenticity vs Gold Digger

This video is about brand authenticity because it's central to our thinking at BrandTrue. It's what allows brands to meaningfully connect with their people. I introduce the idea of "gold-digging," which is what I call it when brands listen to the voice of the consumer, so important, but without any view to what is their own true why for serving, other than making money.
