1. Helplessness

Years ago, scientists did an experiment on lab rats that involved dividing a metal cage into four sections and placing electrical current underneath each section.  When a section of the cage was filled with live current, the rat would receive a small shock if stepping into that part of the cage.  Quickly, the rat would learn to avoid that section.

Over time, each section of the cage was electrified in turn, leaving only one quadrant of the cage as a ‘safe haven’ for our experimental rat.

What happened?

Even after the electricity was shut off completely, the rat would stay in their tiny corner of the world, unwilling to even attempt to venture out into a world that it had already learned from experience would only sting you if you dared to approach it.

A corporation is a legal entity created by or under the authority of the laws of a state. The corporation is distinct from the individuals who comprise it.

I could have gone with Verizon’s “Can You Hear Me Now” Guy as my visual metaphor for this blog post.

But then I found out that there isn’t one “Can You Hear Me Now” Guy but many. Verizon has a thick rulebook which Gizmodo reports spells out the rules on how Guy should dress and comport himself during public appearances.

While I didn’t exactly feel betrayed by learning about multiple Guys, it did trigger a similar feeling back in the 60s when we booked the Drifters for a college party. The Drifters that did show up weren’t the Official and Sole Authentic Original Drifters, but another group using the same name.

So I decided to go in a different direction for today’s visual metaphor -old school – with the picture of Don Adams as Maxwell Smart, Agent 86, in the classic TV series, Get Smart. (Infinite

Today’s headlines are filled with big companies losing their brand reputations for trustworthiness and authenticity left and right (Toyota and BP, to name a few).  Where’s a consumer to turn for the real thing?
