What makes some brands inspirational, while others struggle?
The answer is Lovemarks - a term to coin brands that inspire loyalty beyond reason.
"Take a brand away and people will find a replacement. Take a Lovemark away and people will protest its absence. You don’t just buy Lovemarks, you embrace them passionately."
My Lovemarks are: New York City, everything Apple, Scrabulous, Whole Earth Peanut Butter, Google, Hawaii Conditioner, Laurent-Perrier Pink Champagne and of course Cinnamon Creative!
What are your Lovemarks?

I am guessing they are female otherwise there are some male readers of this blog who are way too in touch with their feminine sides.
I am guessing the last anonymous is Miss Needham. Am I right?

Right. I've worked mine out now.
Marmite; Apple (obviously); Penguin Books; Tunocks Caramel Wafers; LOMO; Cafe/Tea Direct; Waitrose; The World Wide Fund for Nature; RSPCA; BBC; The Guardian; RNLI; Battersea Dogs Trust & Greenpeace.
Oh, and The Idler.
Lee Ann, yours are very techie / communication-y.. which is good for me! What is PLC?
hey gorgeous! lovemark is a funny name, isn't it! i guess they are punning on trademark?
i'm a terrible consumer. no brand loyalties or loves. apart from Apple, may be. i have all the different ipods since launch. doesn't that count as lovemarkship?
:-)
and may be puma shoes and commes des garcons perfume.
Tom Ford is fabulous but i can't afford anything!
Does Colin Farrell count?

Does 'The Archers' count as a brand?
Marlboro Mentols
Louis Vuitton, Gucci
Atariya - sushi place
Rimmel liquid eyeliner
Vaseline
Simple toner & moisturiser
My beloved Sharp phone
I am being very picky here and only going for the truly irreplacable:
- Black London taxis - they've taken our Routemasters, leave the taxis alone. A shout out to yellow NYC cabs as well.
- Aquasphere swimming goggles and swimming hats - trust me, they are the best
- Smarties, even though I don't eat them any more, but seriously, touch Smarties at your peril
- BBC Radio Three, Four and Six (TV can go, except Strictly)
- David Tennant - he is a brand, right?
- iPod - no explanation necessary
- Scrabulous, and Karen playing Scrabulous, which I have just decided is a niche brand.
I'll be back if I think of more...
