I would add that transparency plays a role in the process too. Audiences and stakeholders are more willing to 'forgive' and support an organization when they understand that decisions that proved to be wrong were made with what seemed like a sound rationale at the time. Growth comes from making mistakes so demonstrate lessons were learned. Superb step-by-step approach to strategically navigating a direction out of disaster.

He continues to jump into the modern age and it has helped keep him alert and engaged. When you think you are too old to try something new, you are just too old, period.

Another effective way to facilitate the spread of a social object, be it a post or video is by engaging in direct meaningful conversation with your audience addressing both positive and negative feedback. It goes back to what you said about being genuine and on top of that completely transparent with an audience constantly looking to scrutinize every word of every post. From this conversation, it becomes easier to learn what "meaningful content" your audience, or segments of your audience are looking for. There's no point in talking unless you're listening first.

They have spent untold billions on product lines, of the same basic product, with specific and highly advertised names. Study after study shows NO ONE, NO ONE readily knows the names of the product lines. They just know the name of the basic brand, and they only accept it because it is cheap and readily available. Being cheap, and readily available IS the brand, and the reason they have been in business for over a century. It's not fun, its not sexy, and it is not anything YOU can sell. But it is the only thing that works. Ask McDonalds. <br />As for Starbucks, they are in deep doo doo thanks to branding. They know the definition of insanity and they are doing what they can do. Is it dishonest? No. It just blows up your business model. I work with a century old American Brand that every consumer has in their home.
