When something is free, we probably pay for it in another way. In social networks, we pay for it with our time. CEOs of big brands know that time is more valuable than money: you can make more money, but you can never buy more time.

Many have expressed their displeasure, arguing that the ad is insensitive and dismissive of artists and creatives who deeply value their physical tools. The intent of the ad was to highlight that the iPad Pro can replace many creative tools, but the message was not well received.

Brand recognition is not only about making consumers visually recognize a company's name or logo, but also about building consumer trust and loyalty. A strong, well-established brand communicates credibility and professionalism, which makes consumers feel confident in choosing your products or services. Impacting consumers goes beyond simply showing them a product. Effective branding generates an emotional connection with the customer, creating an empathy that goes beyond tangible product features. When consumers identify with a brand's values and mission, they are more likely to choose it over the competition.

Over time, a select group of brands has earned people's trust, and this is no accident. These brands have consistently delivered on their promise of value, offering outstanding services or products over the competition. Today, these leading brands have consolidated their position in the marketplace.

Continuing with the values of its origins, (Nestlé); Nescafé presents us with a commercial with a surprisingly retro-disruptive simplicity.

Paradoxically, we were design students, which gave us a greater range of knowledge about the power of brands and their cultural imposition. Clearly, Apple had not only achieved a disruptive product, but also managed to establish itself as an exclusive brand throughout society and mainly within a segment with greater purchasing power. Today, twenty years later and after a long professional career working with SMEs, I still wonder what a brand means to CEOs and executive directors of companies. I think that, without a doubt, everyone would agree that the brand is the representation of the company, of the quality of its products, of its communication (in the broadest sense) with its public. Perhaps they even agree, as design professionals say, that it is the most expensive intangible value of the company. The truth is that many times I feel that in the vast majority of cases their answers are a simple cliché to look good with design and/or marketing professionals, that is, they say yes, but their actions reflect that in reality there are always major investments.

Facebook is now called Meta, and this name change has to do with its great bet on the future: to develop a kind of virtual world, the metaverse, in which the company intends that we all spend a good part of our lives. We will go there to interact with each other, to entertain ourselves, to work, to study, to play sports. And to shop, of course. With just a pair of virtual reality glasses (it has not yet been specified which ones) and an Internet connection, users will be able to immerse themselves in this parallel universe that promises to revolutionize our idea of the Internet. After having almost half of mankind hanging on their social networks, the young tycoon considers that it is necessary to give a twist to his project. The metaverse, Zuckerberg said Thursday at his company's annual developer event, is the logical evolution of the network, which has run out of steam. It's taking Facebook to the next level. Until now, our experience in cyberspace was limited to browsing websites or managing applications. The digital world existed on the screens of our devices; when we looked away from our cell phones or computers, that world was shut down. The metaverse is to enter it. In a universe, of course, designed and modeled by Facebook (or Meta), where everything we see, hear and touch is a virtual reality experience. A gigantic technological challenge to which the company also links its financial future. According to Zuckerberg, this parallel world will move "hundreds of billions of dollars" in the next ten years.
