Jon-Christoph Berndt® – laughing master of provocation

Jon-Christoph Berndt carries a jar of Nutella while energetically climbing down the stairs from stage right into the audience. “Would you mind holding this for a second?” he asks a man sitting in the third row and hands him the jar of hazelnut spread. He then continues to speak about the power and attraction of brands. When he turns back to the man holding the jar he jokes: “Do you still have it or has your wife already taken it from you?” The man and the audience laugh out loudly. “You can open it now”, says Jon-Christoph Berndt®. “but do it slowly.”

What makes a brand lovable?

Probably it is because because someone is open, friendly, authentic, sympathetic and communicates in a clear, respectful and honest way. This is exactly what people expect from a brand today.
