		<description>When we consider a brand is like a person we know well, what makes it authentic?  Why is one person more authentic than another and why does that matter to us anyway?  It matters because we are all searching for meaning in our lives on some level and those brands that offer us a real emotional connection are the ones that create that meaning for us.  Whether we are employees or customers it is equally important because when we engage with a brand we are giving away our most precious commodity - time.  A brand  needs to be appreciative of this gift being given to it by its supporters and offer gifts in return.  How much gratitude does your brand express?</description>
