What if everything you thought about brand loyalty was wrong? Sam and Sophie unpack Jenni Romaniuk's data-driven case that brand health isn't about love or differentiation—it's about being the brand that pops into your head first when you need to buy.

They walk through the core concept of mental availability, the distinction between salience and differentiation, and the practical framework for measuring it: mental market share, network size, and distinctive assets. The pair also explore creative consistency, buying cues, and why most brand tracking surveys are misleading.

If you're a marketer, business owner, or anyone who builds brands, this episode will free you from the pressure to be unique and show you what actually drives sales. The takeaway: don't try to be loved, try to be remembered.
