Brand people love novelty.
Buyers… not so much.
In this episode of Cover Brand, Ethan sits down with Sebastian Hidalgo, co-founder of Durindal, to talk about why some brands endure while others keep tripping over their own “fresh ideas.”
The conversation opens with AC/DC (as all serious brand conversations should), and the famous Angus Young quote about having 13 albums that sound exactly the same. Which, it turns out, is one of the clearest explanations of brand consistency you’ll ever hear.
From there, Ethan and Sebastian connect the dots between music, memory, and market reality—why brands that “stay in their lane” are easier to remember, easier to buy, and harder to replace. They also dig into defense tech, B2B branding, and why credibility is built through repetition, not reinvention.
This episode is a reminder that most branding mistakes don’t come from doing too little—they come from changing too much.
If people recognize your brand, you’re doing something right.
If they’re bored of it… that might just be you.
