Donald Burns (speaker) explains that a brand is the combination of core values, purpose (the "why"), and associated emotions, which are expressed through a restaurant's menu offerings and the crafted guest experience. Marketing should accentuate and not replace that brand; knowing and communicating your "why" in marketing content can dramatically change marketing effectiveness. The excerpt emphasizes that customers buy the founder's why and values more than the product itself.

And your brand is a combination of your core values, your purpose, your why, and the emotions behind those. Those things are translated through your products that you offer on your menu, and also then the hospitality conveyed through your extremely crafted guest experience. Marketing done correctly accentuates your brand. It doesn't really replace your brand. And if you don't know what your brand stands for, a brand is basically an extension of the founder's values. People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it. One simple change in your marketing content could be a game changer for the direction and effectiveness of your marketing. And it all starts with why you do it.
