Description
Working in brand and marketing, we hear influential writers and thought-leaders use the words ‘tribe’ and 'community’. These words are commonly spoken by industry gurus such as Seth Godin and Marty Neumier. They’re used frequently to describe our association with products, places, people and companies.

Patrick believes that attracting and building communities is about adopting a primal code. There are 7 pieces of code, which are:
Creation storyCreedIconsRitualsPagansThe sacred wordsLeader
If each piece of code is worked on and delivered, he believes you can create a belief system that not only attracts a tribe but makes them loyal fans, followers and customers. I caught up with Patrick to discuss the book and all things branding, climate, big business - even a bit of UK politics.
Enjoy.
