Thoughts & Critiques
About the campaign...
The Lyonnais are participating in the campaign either as ambassadors or as social media users - it
doesn’t seem as if its citizens are fully engaged and integrated to the marketing campaign.
→ having the opportunity to participate but not to co-create
Although the campaign was launched based on an innovative approach, investing in social media (in
2009), nowadays it seems like this innovative spirit has reached a plateau.
→ bringing new investments in, but not start-ups and creative industries
LOGO similar to other campaigns (beBerlin, Madrid,I Amsterdam etc)
→ more of a reproduction rather than a creative idea, reflecting a local character
GRAND LYON’s main goal was to make LYON the #1 European city for start-up companies
→ lack of creativity in design, communication strategies.
About the city of Lyon...
Lyon is a vibrant city with a unique vibe, ideal for young creative individuals and with a strong cultural
presence
→ its unique vibe is not communicated to the world, but if you visit it, it’s there
Lyon needs to build a unique city identity and build on it, in a GLOCAL way.
→ challenge for contemporary cities:
As Michael Speaks (2002) points out, cities are faced with the paradoxical problem of constructing identities based on
differences that disappear at a rate proportional of the growth of global sameness.
Mid-size cities like Lyon face a difficulty in defining their competition.
→ it doesn’t have the capacity to welcome and satisfy everyone (as large metropolis like Paris,
Tokyo etc can), its city branding should be more narrow, but not in a restrictive way.
Conclusions
● Contemporary cities sometimes fail to create a unique identity, because they focus on the global
competition and instead of starting with their best, original raw material, they try to find “external”
ideas to promote their city.
→ Benchmarking is very helpful, but it requires a deep knowledge of one’s identity, nature, social
nexus, history and tendencies.

  • 18. About the campaign... The Lyonnais are participating in the campaign either as ambassadors or as social media users - it doesn’t seem as if its citizens are fully engaged and integrated to the marketing campaign. → having the opportunity to participate but not to co-create Although the campaign was launched based on an innovative approach, investing in social media (in 2009), nowadays it seems like this innovative spirit has reached a plateau. → bringing new investments in, but not start-ups and creative industries LOGO similar to other campaigns (beBerlin, Madrid,I Amsterdam etc) → more of a reproduction rather than a creative idea, reflecting a local character GRAND LYON’s main goal was to make LYON the #1 European city for start-up companies → lack of creativity in design, communication strategies.
  • 19. About the city of Lyon... Lyon is a vibrant city with a unique vibe, ideal for young creative individuals and with a strong cultural presence → its unique vibe is not communicated to the world, but if you visit it, it’s there Lyon needs to build a unique city identity and build on it, in a GLOCAL way. → challenge for contemporary cities: As Michael Speaks (2002) points out, cities are faced with the paradoxical problem of constructing identities based on differences that disappear at a rate proportional of the growth of global sameness. Mid-size cities like Lyon face a difficulty in defining their competition. → it doesn’t have the capacity to welcome and satisfy everyone (as large metropolis like Paris, Tokyo etc can), its city branding should be more narrow, but not in a restrictive way.
  • 20. Conclusions ● Contemporary cities sometimes fail to create a unique identity, because they focus on the global competition and instead of starting with their best, original raw material, they try to find “external” ideas to promote their city. → Benchmarking is very helpful, but it requires a deep knowledge of one’s identity, nature, social nexus, history and tendencies.
