- 11. 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 11

- #36 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.

- #48 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.
