“Soccer is simple. To win, you only need to score more goals than your opponent. That’s it.”

To win a soccer match, a team needs to score more than the opposing team. If a team concedes more goals than it scores, the team loses the game. By winning, a team earns points, and the team that has the most points in the league wins the league.

Branding is very similar to soccer – to win the league (competition); a team (brand) needs to gather as many points as possible. How is it similar? In what way branding is similar to soccer? We’ll picture a soccer team as a brand. A good team needs; a good manager, a good game plan, great players, and of course, a good team needs to strive to win the competition.

In soccer, it’s not the manager or the staffs that determine the result of a game; it’s the players. Great players are needed to execute a manager’s plans, of course, to win the game. Brands also need great players to win the competition. Players in this term are the members of the team. Leaders create high, or even extraordinary plans. To execute the plans, great people are needed. If a person can’t run the idea of the leader, it could turn bad for the brand.
