Talent is a foundational building block of a sticky brand. Capital Iron has grown a sticky brand with a very purposeful HR strategy.

There is a hole in branding. There are lots of branding resources for small and big companies, but not much for mid-size companies. It's time to fill the gap. Help me find and feature mid-market success stories.
33% of the top 100 global brands are blue. Brands like P&G, IBM, GE, HP, Ford and Samsung all use blue as their primary brand color. It’s a pretty good color. Blue connotes a company that is trustworthy, established and secure. It’s the color of big, old and professional.As a result, a disproportionate number of small-to-mid size companies default to using blue in their identities too. They assume blue is a better branding choice, because it signals they are like the big, established brands. Blue is perceived as more professional. That may be true, but blue is boring!
