  1. This is the list? Couldn’t PSFK dig a little deeper? These are all darlings of industry. We all know what they do. What about companies that we don’t know about?

  2. That’s a different project…coming soon. This is more a review of the established brands.

  3. These are all more or less points in Bruce Mau’s Incomplete Manifesto if I remember them correctly.

  4. These people have the right idea for success! Don’t focus on immediate profit, first reach scale.

  5. sorry, but Vigin suck, to many branded third party services with really poor customer support. Virgin Atlantic is OK, but the rest is all smoke and mirrors.

  6. Interesting to note the words ‘people, men, women’ are missing from all the tips……. wonder if they’ll be cropping up in the more coming that Dan’s promised.

  7. Very strange,
    None of them is actually about what they stand for etc.

    All brands mentioned above seem to be how they run their business as a whole.

    I Like that.
