Now deploy your resources only where it works best!
Every marketer wants to believe that there's a silver bullet that'll help them build their brand quick and cheap. And there are many who take advantage of this naivety to sell them worthless solutions.
There are only two ways to build brands:
1. Pour hundred of crores into your marketing effort with the help of investors who understand that brand building and marketing needs huge resources and sustained 360 degree efforts
2. The other way is the slow and steady grind to success based on sound strategy
If you have a rich investor, with unlimited funds in your corner you can splurge across channels and build your brand.
If you don't, AND you're willing to grind it out. Look up, there's a single cloud, high in the sky. It has a silver lining. It will get you there.
Grow your brand and multiply your business value with The Lonely Cloud Consulting. They offer consulting services to help businesses as shown on their website lonelycloudconsulting.com and LinkedIn page at linkedin.com/company/the-lonely-cloud-consulting.
Marketers tend to have a brand-centric perspective of the world. A customer journey mapping exercise forces us to look at the world through the eyes of our customer. When we put ourselves in their shoes and live out their lives, is when we truly begin thinking, feeling, talking and doing things as they would. That's when genuine insights pop out and we get answers to our questions and begin connecting better with them.
Marketing is not sitting back and planning. It's not getting busy in the field either. Marketing is the fine ability to balance both these tasks simultaneously. To create successful brands.
Mobiles are an indispensable part of our lives. It's a very instant and 'spur-of-the-moment' behavior. Want to cross-check on a controversial statement someone just made? Searching for a location? Check price before you pay? Looking for a particular cuisine in the area?
Smart brands live through realistic customer journeys and identify such micro moments that they can own.
Stop thinking and start living in the moment, sorry make that, micro moment!
Not everyone on social media is in a mood to buy. But they're definitely in a mood to connect. Now who would you like to connect with?
1. Somebody who wants to sell to you?
2. Somebody who says politically correct things?
3. Someone with similar values as you?
4. Someone who is passionately bringing about change?
The social media audience will choose as all humans choose.
So choose your social media communications strategy with care.
If you're customizing your product or communicating to a wide variety of consumers for example, a department store, you should explore customizing your content for your audiences, because digital affords you that benefit.
Your customer could be trying to reach you through any of the multiple channels present today: Twitter, email, chat, social media or plain old phone. Are you available for them? You should at least be in a position to acknowledge their request and contact them later, at their convenience on the best medium possible.
Be conversational and build great relationships!

If your brand can engage with her at those points, you have a customer for life.

The Rise of the Brandividual in Corporate Culture
It wasn’t that long ago that 30-year careers at a single company were the norm. Today, with fluctuations in the marketplace and corporate stability more questionable than ever, the notion of the company taking care of the individual is but a faint memory. At the same time, we’ve been the recipients of a gift in the way of technology that creates publishers, journalists, pundits and thought leaders of out anyone who puts their mind to it.
This session will explore the notion that the individual and the brand are merging and will raise a number of complex questions:
• In the process of this movement of so-called “personal branding,” how does one begin to balance the personal and professional?
• Where is the line drawn, or does such a line no longer exist?
• What are some key behaviors in a brand representative, and how can those be applied to your business?
• As the brandividual becomes more well known, is the company the greater beneficiary, or is the individual?
• What happens when this person decides to leave the company
Value Proposition of a brand is the sum of its rational and emotional benefits minus the cost.
Marketers are often perplexed when despite what they believe is an irresistible price, brand sales are tepid. This happens because they fail to factor in the emotional cost that a customer has to pay in making the purchase.
For example, the customer may not just be looking at the price tag of an air conditioner while deciding on a brand. To it they will add the cost of anxiety of poor quality.
In their minds cost now becomes: price + sleepless nights due to product failure + time spent chasing technicians for repair + cost of repair + taunts from family members + loss of face etc.
Have you identified the emotional cost your customer is facing?
Advertising is like a hammer, focusing on a single specific proposition targeting customers, is what works best here. Social media communication is about building and nurturing relationships, creating a general sense of goodwill with the community.
So, what works for one may not work for the other.
It's important to set clear objectives for each medium and develop your content accordingly.
Customer Lifetime value or CLV is more than the recurring revenue that a customer brings a brand. It indicates brand loyalty, product-market fit and the long term prospects for the brand.
Microsoft has recently filed a patent for an AI chatbot that can learn from an individual’s social media posts, emails, letters, voice samples and other communication material and then replicate the person’s style of communication. This machine learning algorithm will scan through all your social media activity, e-mails, letters you wrote in your teens, essays you wrote in school, speeches you gave, family moments that captured you, recordings of conversations stored in your devices and using all that information, it can in the near future, behave just like you, online.
It can send out e-mails, post to your social media handles, chat with your friends and family, respond to enquiries, send out reminders, write your speech, represent you in webinars and virtual
industry gatherings and perhaps deliver your podcast!
Now let’s extend this conceptual thought forward to include more possibilities. The longer it lives with you, the better it will learn and the closer the likeness it will develop of you and soon, it will be indistinguishable from you. In short, it would have become your consciousness online. With one caveat—unlike you it won’t be restrained by a physical body made up of cells that will age and die. Which means this artificial consciousness that has formed an identical likeness of you, will continue to live on endlessly and then eventually, will become you.
-Chapter Extract from “Multiply your Business Value Through Brand and AI” by Rajan Narayan.
Launching August 2021
Companies are often in danger of falling in love with their technology. "Oh our algorithm is fantastic..." and "We're using the latest machines..." etc.
Technology is really fantastic and commendable but always remember to translate THAT into a simple consumer benefit.
The benefit of your algorithm for example could be, a better search result, or food suited to their taste or the items that they generally look for. Similarly your latest machine could deliver a better finish or makes your product lighter.
Most consumers may not even know what an algorithm is or care how costly your machine is.
But they do quickly recognize and prefer brands that makes things cheaper, faster, more personalized for them.
It's not about you, it's about them :)

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.

Capstone Project: Luxury Handloom Saree Brand
As part of my college project, I applied my learning in brand strategy to create a comprehensive project for a luxury handloom saree brand. Key aspects of this project included:

- *Target Audience:* Defined and segmented the target audience to tailor brand messages effectively.
- *Brand Strategy:* Developed a detailed brand strategy to enhance market presence and appeal.

- *Brand Ladder:* Created a brand ladder to outline the brand's core values, benefits, and attributes.
- *Brand Architecture:* Established a cohesive brand architecture to ensure consistency across all brand touchpoints.
This project helped me gain practical experience in brand strategy, from research and analysis to strategic planning and implementation.
