Steps For a Relevant Brand
This past week, the Shawnee Chick-Fil-A owner and operator, Jeff madison came to
Oklahoma Baptist University to speak to my marketing class about what a relevant brand is and
what to do to keep your brand relevant. First off, Jeff Madison is a veteran from Harrah,
Oklahoma. After high school he continued his education at East Central University is Ada,
Oklahoma. After this he joined the Army as a Colonel where he said he “Led from the front. I
[Madison] would not make my soldiers do anything that I would not do myself.” Madison carried
this with him when he decided to open up a Chick-Fil-A. Madison says, “I decided to open up a
Chick-Fil-A in shawnee because my daughter asked me to, and when she asks for something, I
have to deliver.”
Chick-Fil-A’s mission statement reads, “To glorify God by being a faithful steward to all
that is entrusted in us. To have a positive influence on anyone that comes into contact.” Madison
goes above and beyond to uphold this mission. A secondary mission statement is to be
“Remark”able. Madison uses these missions to excel in the fast food business and maintain a
relevant brand. By 2015 Chick-Fil-A was ranked number 8 in the United States reaching nearly
7 billion dollars in sales and 1,967 stores.
Madison’s strategy for keeping Chick-Fil-A relevant consists of 4 important tactics. 1. To
execute operational excellence. 2. To execute 2nd mile service. Madison defines 2nd mile
service as anything from holding a door for someone to sitting and having lunch with them just
to talk about their day. 3. To create emotional connections with customers. This is a tactic to
retain customers as well to get repeat customers. 4. To be RAVE. RAVE is an acronym that
stands for Representation, Assets, Value, Experience.
