quantity of a consumer’s mental structures.

— Get noticed
— Continuously reach potential buyers
— Refresh brand-linked memories
— Be consistent

— Byron Sharp, How Brands Grow
It isn’t because the brand is differentiated, but because an emotional response has been triggered. They’ve
browsed a few options and will impulsively go with the one that elicited some sort of internal response.
