This marriage needs to be about the creation of energy The active or moving force of a brand H&P: Momentum rules Y&R BAV: Brand energy is a leading indicator of usage and preference Justifies a higher price Adds an incremental 64% to brand value than sales growth alone

6 ways to create more energy

1. Be enthusiastic

A brand without a point of view is like a song without a tune

Have a social mission, not just a commercial proposition

Make people think about the world around them

2. Be interesting or useful (better still be both)

“Nobody reads advertising. People read what they want to read and sometimes it's an ad.” Howard Gossage “Often our biggest mistake as managers is believing that, in general, customers care a lot about your brand. They do not.” Patrick Barwise

3. Do stuff

4. Do more than one thing

Any idea is dangerous if it is a person's only idea George Will’s take on the American idea Atlantic Monthly, November 2007

Stop making a thing, start creating a puzzle

Integration

Interaction

The rule of 5%

5. Get out of the distribution industry

“We're not in the business of keeping the media companies alive. We're in the business of connecting with consumers.” Trevor Edwards, Nike New York Times, 10.14.07

The best ad is 30 times more likely to be stopped and watched than the worst. The worst ad is 5.5 times more likely to be fast forwarded than the best. Source: Millward Brown, DVRs and Link research 2005 via Adliterate

6. Sweat the small stuff

Thank you Ed and Influx Insights for spotting this
