10 Years Later...
• The Open Brand was written by Kelly Mooney and Dr. Nita Rollins in 2008
• The book is about the power shift from brands to consumers and how marketers need to behave differently
• The lessons of The Cluetrain Manifesto are still being learned
![Page 11: The Cluetrain Manifesto & The Open Brand](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54b38dc34a795950588b45d1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

• There’s been a relationship shift in the way consumers relate to products: before, during and after a purchase consumers are engaging with each other through blogs, peer-reviews and other interactive ways.
• Consumers are taking control over the messages that brands once controlled.
• For brands to survive this relationship shift they must engage with consumers within consumers’ communities.
