“Brands that stand out from the competition are purposefully disruptive or different” - Bernard Kelvin Clive

To stand out from the masses with your brand be disruptive, different, or you die. Over the years I realized that startup brands that are doing exceptionally well had in a way mastered what I call the D.I.C.E. strategy in branding.

They are

  • Different
  • Innovative
  • Creative
  • Excellent

They D.I.C.E on purpose; doing things differently from their competitors, with distinctiveness, innovation, and creativity with a hallmark of excellence. These are the things that propel brands to great heights of visibility and prominence.

To put all this together in a proper perspective I selected 7 Startup Brands Doing Things differently that you can study and be inspired by their works.
