BRAND:
HISTORY, EVOLUTION & LEXICON
WHAT IS A BRAND?
“The intangible sum of a product’s attributes: its name, packaging, and price, its
history, its reputation, and the way it’s advertised.”
-- David Ogilvy (Founder, Ogilvy & Mather), 1985
“The set of expectations, memories, stories and relationships that, taken
together, account for a consumer’s decision to choose one product or service
over another.”
-- Seth Godin (Marketer & Writer), 2010
”A name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller's
good or service as distinct from those of other sellers."
-- The American Marketing Association, 2016

ORIGINS OF BRAND
Brand (the verb). As in “to brand”.
Old English, of Germanic origin; related to German Brand, also to burn . The
word originally meant ‘burning’ or ‘a piece of burning or smoldering wood’; the
verb sense ‘mark permanently with a hot iron’ dates from late Middle English.

ORIGINS OF BRAND
Brand (the noun). As in “brand mark”.
The noun sense ‘mark of ownership made by branding,’ arose in the mid 17th
century.
Brand mark is a better term, and in fact, in many other languages brand is
translated to marke (German), marca (Spanish), marka (Croatian), marque
(French), markë (Albanian), марка (Byelorussian).
A brand mark is a name, term, symbol, or design intended to identify the
product of one company, and to diferentiate it from those of competitors.

EVOLUTION OF BRAND
Brand (the noun). As in “brand perception”.
How the brand is perceived (or “positioned”) in the hearts and minds of customers.
“Positioning” is an articulation of the unique space an organization wishes to
capture in the hearts and minds of its customers, supported by the rational,
emotional and social benefits that the organization (and its products and services)
provide to its customers.
“Positioning starts with a product. A piece of merchandise, a service, a company, an
institution, or even a person…But positioning is not what you do to a product.
Positioning is what you do to the mind of the prospect.”
-- Al Ries and Jack Trout,1972

“If business is about service to others, then business
itself is a virtue. You’re engaging in a virtuous activity
by serving the needs of somebody else. When you do
that, you’re serving the needs of your employees, of
your customers, you will induce oxytocin release and
they will want to reciprocate…”
-- Paul Zak
39
“…In the old model: greed is good, the management
technique is lead with fear. In the new model: empower
individuals to be the best that they can be in an
organization with purpose, you’re going to lead with
love.”

  7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1a7tiA1Qzo Through his research, neuroeconomist, Paul Zak, discovered what he dubs “The Moral Molecule” Oxytocin is a neurochemical that is key to signaling trust and invoking a sense of empathy Produced when we are trusted or shown a kindness Motivates cooperation with others by Enhancing the sense of empathy – our ability to experience others’ emotions Research found that character-driven stories consistently cause oxytocin synthesis, and The amount of oxytocin released by the brain predicted how much people were willing to help others (e.g. donating money to a charity associated with the narrative) So, is it any wonder why the Ice Bucket Challenge went viral? Research found that In order to motivate a desire to help others, a story must first sustain attention – an increasingly scarce resource in the brain – by developing tension during the narrative If that tension resonates strongly enough with the audience, then they will come to share the emotions of the characters in the story, and, after the story ends, likely to continue mimicking the feelings and behaviors of those characters This explains your feelings of dominance after you watch James Bond save the world, or your desire to work out after watching the Spartans fight in the movie 300 Business implications Enables better recall of key points in a presentation or speech People are substantially more motivated by their organization’s transcendent purpose (how it improves lives) than by its transactional purpose (how it sells goods and services) The former is effectively communicated through stories Sources “Why Your Brain Loves Good Storytelling” – written by Paul J. Zak, published by Harvard Business Review (October, 28, 2014) http://bit.ly/1yso8wD

  10. “…So, if you lead with love, then you have this oxytocin environment that will motivate people going beyond exceeding expectations leading to delighting the customer, delighting the people around me. And, delight is what we really want from a customer experience.” Sources Big Think Interview with Paul Zak http://bit.ly/1rFK2H3

  12. The data tell us… Creatively awarded campaigns are 12x more efficient, and become more so over time The greater level of creativity, the greater level of effectiveness Highly creative campaigns generate buzz, which correlates strongly with effectiveness Creative campaigns are more reliable investments It is in the power of emotional response that brands really make huge progress Increasing the emotional response to a brand reduces its price sensitivity Brands should spend more time getting the brand thinking right before rushing into communications Creativity is not merely converting an audience, but actually creating one Energize lots of people to think about the nature of the brand Sources The Link Between Creativity and Effectiveness – Peter Field (IPA Databank, The Gunn Report, ThinkBox, 2010) (www.ipaeffectivenessawards.co.uk)
  13.  Virgin Atlantic's response to the 2008 recession. In a time when Virgin Atlantic's main competitor, British Airways, was cutting back on marketing spend, Virgin Atlantic increased its marketing spend by 10%, investing in a new advertising campaign to celebrate its 25th birthday. This campaign alone is estimated to have driven 20% of revenue during the period in which the campaign was running with a return on investment of £10.58 for every £1 spent on the campaign. British Airways, which cut back on marketing expenses during this period, reported a £400M operating loss, while Virgin Atlantic reported a £68M operating profit.
