Terry Lee, President at Exari SystemsI found it on Amazon after all. Too many books with the word Personality in the title. It is available for Kindle as well which is what I did. Recommend the Kindle for anyone who moves around a lot. I will review it on my blog in the next week or so.4 years ago

Why You Should Read "Personality Not Included"Presentation Transcript
Why Your
Brand Needs
A Personality
A Visual Introduction
To An Actually Useful
Marketing Book

This is
This is me.
one of
those
Cirque
du Soleil
guys
(not me).
I work at
a marketing
agency called
Ogilvy. We have
trendy chairs.
My day job is helping clients
to stand out in a crowded space.
This
is the
story
of my
book.
It is about why your business
needs a personality.
It is
also
why
people
love
using
this.
Or
shopping
here.

It’s why
they spend
$800 on
one of
these.
And what makes people (and
ducks) who work here …

Much happier
than people
who work
here.
Personality is the real secret
to succeeding in the new
business world.
To understand why,
let’s look at the
3 Big Myths
of marketing
today.
#1
Your Bottom Line
Is About Selling.
False!
Anyone can
sell anything
… in the
short term.

sold on eBay for $28,000
The real challenge is to sell
something people can’t help
talking about.
The “legendary
notebook of Picasso
and Hemingway” …
People ignore
#2 marketing messages
Wrong!
They only ignore irrelevant
messages you are
randomly
firing at
them.
But they love useful marketing that
answers a question or offers a
solution.
#3
Having
something
great to
is all that
sell …
matters.
#3
… is
Having
only half
something
of your
great to
battle!
sell …
A great product …
is only the first step.
Consumers want
Authenticity
P.S. - Flowers
are authentic.
And they have the power to
demand it.
Being faceless doesn’t work
… anymore.
Unfortunately, most companies are
faceless because they hide their
personality.
Is this you?
For example,
many create
an “Employee
Silencing Policy”
to intentionally
keep their
best voices
silent.
Or focus too much on how
people should use a logo …
This is what
typical brand
guidelines
look like.
Instead of
letting others
“own” your
brand and
inspiring them
to believe in it
(something
Obama knew).
Doing this
takes more than
a great logo, or
a shiny new
blog, or a viral
video or having
a Facebook
group.
Those are not
the answer,
they’re just
tools.
Personality is the answer.
Want to know how your brand can get one?
First, you’ll need a definition …
“ Personality is the unique,
authentic, and talkable
soul of your brand
that people can
get passionate
about.”
(pûr'sə-nāl'ĭ-tē)
So how do
you use
yours?
There
are six
steps.
Help your
#1
employees
be individuals
instead of
faceless
people.
That’s Jared
#2
from Subway.
Embrace your
accidental
spokespeople.
Use the “UAT” Filter
#3
Is it Unique?
Is it Authentic?
Is it
Talkable?
Personality
Craft a
#4
backstory
people can
believe.
Conquer the #5
4 fear-based
barriers to
personality.
1. Success – ”What we’re doing is already working.”
2. Uncertainty – ”We don’t know what will happen.”
3. Tradition – ”We have always done it this way.”
4. Precedent – ”No one else is doing it that way.”
#6 Use your personality moments.
This bank has
its own café
to connect
with their
customers.
Those six steps
are explained
in the first
six chapters
of the book.
Then comes
Part II…
Part II has action guides to help you
implement every idea from Part I.
There are
“tabs” so
you can
easily go
from a
chapter
to an
action
guide.
When you put it all together,
what makes this book
different
is that it’s
Entertaining + Useful
Entertaining because there are over
100 real life examples:
Like the story of
the world’s best
restaurant on the
coast of Spain,
which is revered
despite being
closed 6 months
out of the year.
Or the tale
of a small shop
owner in Austin
who decided to
open his own
museum.
Or how an
airline is redefining
the US domestic flight
experience.
And how the death of Superman killed
the comic book industry.
These examples
(and dozens more)
tell the story of why
personality matters.
And it is useful because you can read it
quickly and put the ideas to work for
your business.
