Put a tiger in your brand
Russia's young President, Dmitry Medvedev, is keen to get down with the kids in da hood. Or so it would seem from the announcement of a new Russian-Nigerian gas venture this week. The new company will be called Nigaz. Yes, really.
Perhaps no one told him. Perhaps the Nigerians were being polite. Still, it's better, arguably, than Consignia, Aviva, Accenture or some other ghastly attempts to undertake that ubiquitous contemporary obligation, "building a brand". It almost brings you back to those happy days of Esso's exhortation to "Put a tiger in your tank" and Far Eastern – well, let's just say, surprise.
