"We live in a Brand Era"

Very nice study, thanks for posting. In the first paragraph he says that 'we live in a Brand Era' but in fact the rest of the article shows that human civilization can be seen as the history of brands and branding. Maybe it is more correct to say that global corporations in the business of consumer goods 'discovered' branding and that's why branding is now so visible.
