The look certainly fits the content. Bullmore argues that fame is of value for brands, without giving a precise explanation.

“Being around, being well known, being salient, being contemporary – in any market – are vital preconditions for sustained competitive success.”

Moreover Bullmore gives the best explanation why just boasting about a brand is not enough:

“And since my informant (...) has been relentlessly laudatory about Giles, my only available contribution is one of challenge and rejection.”
