Now, if you know me, this isn’t a very unusual occurrence for me. I lose [...]]]></description>

Just wanted to share a good link. Paul Rockower, who I mentioned in my post on Gastrodiplomacy, recently had a piece on the very subject published in the online magazine called Nation Branding, where he writes about Taiwan&#8217;s efforts to incorporate gastrodiplomacy into their diplomatic relations. Rockower is currently a Visiting Fellow at the Taiwan [...]]]></description>

I recently read this great article, “Brands as People, People as Brands” on the Mr. Youth company blog called &#8220;grownup thinking.&#8221; It’s a re-post from promomagazine.com.

		<description><![CDATA[Sticking to the theme of my last post about nation branding, I wanted to talk about a specific example. The Olympics have always been a symbol of renewal, peace and international collaboration and for many countries and cities, hosting has turned into a means of rediscovering themselves, pumping up their economy and essentially, redefining their brand. I was recently browsing the Sochi 2014 brand site via the Interbrand company site and they are all about branding not only the event itself, but the “Russia of the future.” And frankly, it’s pretty cool.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Marketing Week this week, Mark Ritson, who is an Associate Professor of Marketing, writes about country branding. His take on it is summarized in the headline of his article "Countries are countries, not brands."
I am not sure if I entirely agree with Ritson that country branding is a “futile, shameful practice.” While I agree that countries do have a lot of important other issues to worry about, I think that fixing these problems should go hand in hand with creating a strong country brand.]]></description>
