Our rundown of must-read articles is back. This week, we’re showcasing what we’ve read, starting with why brands matter. 

Why Brands Matter

Delaware aims to be 1st with digital driver’s licenses
Everything is going digital… so why not your driver’s license? Delaware is pushing to become the first state to offer a digital driver’s license on your smart phone.

Only time will tell. If all goes well, there are sure to be plenty of copy-cats going forward.
