BlackBerry, for example, clearly knows how to sell mobile phones, but a connected car? That’s where Porsche’s expertise will be vital in communicating not just technology, but the consumer experience.

Brands that don’t compete with each other are best placed to share knowledge about the marketing practices that work in their sector and how they might be applied elsewhere, offering insight that isn’t skewed by being product-centric.
