In this video, citing such famous examples of marketing like “What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas”, Ken Schmidt identifies the power of telling a story to your consumers, the dedication to standing out from the crowd, and the demand which comes from the successful implementation of his strategies.

The speaker behind these syndicated words of wisdom is Ken Schmidt, the former director of communications strategy for Harley-Davidson. In this video, Schmidt shares the evident but ever-elusive key to marketing success.

Turning the Harley-Davidson name into the worldwide brand it is today through a deep understanding of human behavior, Ken Schmidt is a master of brand revolutionization.
