"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever." — Steve Jobs

#20 Bill Harper — Deep dive into everything "BRAND"

Throughout his career, Bill has been obsessed with helping businesses discover their true purpose – and turning that insight into exceptional experiences that bind brands and their customers together.

Whether helping launch the CarFax Vehicle History Report to the consumer market, positioning Delsey as North America’s lightweight luggage leader or preparing start-ups like Bleep CPAP to disrupt their category, Bill has been passionate about turning consumer insight into category leadership.

He believes that every brand has the potential to dominate their category – to create a contagious, market-shattering impact on their customers and competition.

Since 1998, Bill has created brand strategies and creative campaigns for more than 300 brands around the globe. He has engaged audiences for brands like EverBank, Music & Arts, Delsey Luggage, Red Hot & Blue, Denny’s, Precision Tune and Enterprise Rent-a-Car, to name a few. On their behalf, Bill uncovered unique insights into the consumer set, created campaigns that positively disrupted their categories and caused countless competitors sleepless nights.

Bill is an optimist at heart. He believes that every good idea has a passionate message standing behind it.
