Identity Design: 5 Denkfehler, die deine Marke unwirksam machen

12 January 2026, with Joël Kaczmarek and Michael Ahlf

Summary

This episode is in German.

Michael Ahlf identifies five thinking errors that make a brand ineffective, starting from the point that a strong logo remains an empty shell if the idea behind it does not hold. The Money Monday episode argues that brand work extends well beyond design and marketing, and shows how companies dilute their profile in the pursuit of visibility or follow the wrong comparison. It covers how clarity creates orientation and why a brand's strength grows out of consistency and shared responsibility.
