The Fortune Cookie Principle

Overview
Have you ever tried a fortune cookie? Whether you believe in their powers or not, they've become extremely popular due to their originality, but also their added value.
Bernadette Jiwa likes to think of our favorite companies, products, and brands as fortune cookies: we love them just as much for the story they tell as we do for the products or services they have to offer. In today's world, good products aren't enough any more. The stories we tell about them make all the difference.
