Because there are other factors, besides consideration, that stop them from doing so. For instance, a small brand is less likely to be available when they shop the category than a brand leader.”

The actual stuff that connects isn’t about plot or narrative; it’s texture, observations, images, jokes, juxtapositions, felicitous phrases and little moments of aha.”
