HQ proves - Branding - may not be the ticket to success...

...perhaps vision and planning are.

To our Minister of Business and Branding...

Canadian Business Magazine has released it's yearly Best Brands and Worst Brands in Canada list.

Hydro Quebec has made the "worst of" list.

With that Crown Utility jumping from 2.3 to 3.4 billion in net profit this year - we should all try to fail at branding. Then again it's important enough to make the list.
