By now, most of us have digested the entire library of free Simon Sinek articles on purpose or read and applied Seth Godin’s advice to our suite of business offerings.

Depending on your turnover, you may have signed up for an SEO or data insights package to bring our customers closer to our orbit.

You may have found your way to the top of the Google page, but without the right intangible assets at your disposal as a business, you might struggle to leave a lasting impact on your clients and customers.
