» Brands are defined by content – that
which they create themselves and curate from others.
» You don't control your brand, so embrace
and empower your audience, giving them an
ownership stake by asking them to participate.
» Share that content through every available channel
– your own and your ambassadors – to broaden
reach, and elevate the volume of your message.

Editor's Notes

  1. Personal introduction
  2. How do you define a brand today?
  3. IS A BRAND A LOGO?
  4. NO
  5. IT’S NOT A BRAND IDENTITY GUIDELINES
  6. ITS NOT A PRODUCT
  7. A BRAND IS ABOUT PERCEPTION
  8. IT’S ABOUT SENTIMENT
  9. A BRAND IS ABOUT FEELINGS
  10. DUE TO THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF MEDIA GIVING ANYONE A VOICE, IT DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE WHAT YOU AND YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM THINK DEFINES THE BRAND
  11. IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT THE OPINIONS OF YOUR CUSTOMERS – THAT YOU THINK YOU’LL TELL THEM WHAT TO LIKE AND THINK
  12. YOUR BRAND IS WHAT THEY THINK IT IS – HOW THE CROWD DEFINES YOU
  13. LET ME ASK YOU THIS – WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT McDonalds?
  14. I THINK ABOUT BAD FOOD AND OVEWEIGHT KIDS
  15. OR HOW ABOUT AFRICA?
  16. EBOLA IS THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MY MIND
  17. AND HOW ABOUT MY HOME TOWN OF ST. LOUIS?
  18. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY OF YOU NOW THINK ABOUT THE RIOTS IN FERGUSON
  19. AND WHAT ABOUT SWEDEN? WHAT DO WE UGLY AMERICANS THINK WHEN WE THINK OF SWEDEN?
  20. Beautiful blonde-haired people
  21. OK, MAYBE ABBA TOO
  22. THE REALITY IS THAT YOU NO LONGER CONTROL YOUR BRAND – THEY DO – YOUR AUDIENCE, YOUR CUSTOMER, YOUR JUDGE AND JURY
  23. AND WITH THE HELP OF TECHNOLOGY, YOUR BRAND CAN EMBRACE AND EMPOWER THOSE WHO YOU AIM TO REACH, AND TO HAVE THEM PARTICIPATE IN FRAMING YOUR VALUE PROPOSITION FOR OTHERS TO SEE
  24. AND THAT’S BECAUSE THE LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED – THE OLD MODEL WAS VERY SIMPLE – YOUR BRAND USED MEDIA, BOTH PAID AND EARNED TO REACH A WILLING PUBLIC TODAY’S MODEL IS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL ALTOGETHER, WHERE CONSUMERS AND BRANDS HAVE NEARLY AS MUCH POWER AS MEDIA IN BROADCASTING INFORMATION
  25. AND THAT’S BECAUSE THE LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED – THE OLD MODEL WAS VERY SIMPLE – YOUR BRAND USED MEDIA, BOTH PAID AND EARNED TO REACH A WILLING PUBLIC TODAY’S MODEL IS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL ALTOGETHER, WHERE CONSUMERS AND BRANDS HAVE NEARLY AS MUCH POWER AS MEDIA IN BROADCASTING INFORMATION
  26. AND THUS OUR CHALLENGE BECOMES BREAKING THROUGH ALL OF THE CLUTTER AND NOISE…. AND IF WE WISH TO DELIVER A MESSAGE ON BEHALF OF OUR BRANDS…WE HAVE TO BREAK THROUGH IT
  27. WHICH IS WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE PARTNERS / TO HAVE ALLIES AMBASSADORS ENTHUSIASTS
  28. SOURCE DIVERSE CONTENT – SO IT’S NOT JUST YOU WHO IS CELEBRATING YOUR BRAND BUT OTHERS AS WELL.
  29. APPEAL TO A BROADER AUDIENCE
  30. AND WHEN YOU CAN DO THAT….THE CLUTTER FADES AWAY. AND IN ITS PLACE, YOU HEAR THE MESSAGE
  31. BECAUSE IN THE END, BRANDS ARE JUDGED BY CONTENT DISTRIBUTED BY THEMSELVES AS WELL AS BY TRUSTED 3RD PARTIES.
  32. WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO OUR CROWD – AND NOT ONLY DELIVERING CONTENT TO THEM, BUT RELYING UPON THEM FOR HELP IN CREATING AND DISTRIBUTING THAT CONTENT.
  33. BRANDS LIKE DELL HAS DONE IT WITH DELL IDEA STORM – HARNESSING DEVELOPERS, TAKING THEIR OPINIONS AND INCORPORATING THEM INTO THEIR PRODUCTS
  34. STARBUCKS HAS DONE IT WITH MY STARBUCKS IDEA – TAKING CUSTOMER SUGGSTIONS ON NEW PRODUCT OFFERINGS
  35. AND ANY CITY OR REGION CAN DO IT – FROM UPPSALA TO LONDON TO A SMALL CITY. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HARNESSING YOUR ASSETS, CREATING CONTENT, AND EFFECITVELY PUSHING THAT CONTENT TO THE MASSES.
  36. I’M GOING TO GIVE YOU 3 EXAMPLES OF HOW THIS HAS BEEN DONE – 2 OF WHICH I’VE BEEN DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH STARTING WITH RALLY ST. LOUIS, WHICH WAS FOCUSEDON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TO IMPROVE THE PERCEPTION OF A REGION
  37. I’VE LIVED IN ST. LOUIS FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS. IT IS A CITY WITH A REPUTATION CHALLENGE
  38. AND I FIND THIS IS THE PERCEPTION OF THE REGION BOTH INSIDE AND OUT
  39. PARODY NEWS ORGANIZATIONS SKEWER ST. LOUIS
  40. AND WE QUALIFY FOR RATHER DUBIOUS DISTICTIONS
  41. BUT THEN ON A LARK I WROTE A STORY FOR FORBES WHERE I WAS A CONTRIBUTOR FOR 5 YEARS – ST. LOUIS DOESN’T SUCK. AND IT STRUCK A CHORD. AND ON MY TEAM WE STARTED THINKING – YOU KNOW WHAT – ST. LOUIS DOESN’T SUCK. AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAGNIFY THIS?
  42. . AND ON MY TEAM WE STARTED THINKING – YOU KNOW WHAT – ST. LOUIS DOESN’T SUCK. AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAGNIFY THIS?
  43. SO WE CREATED RALLY ST. LOUIS FOCUSED ON THESE 2 INITATIVES
  44. A FIRST OF IT’S KIND PLATFORM
  45. YOU CAN SUBMIT IDEAS FOR HOW TO IMPROVE THE REGION VOTE FOR THOSE IDEAS IF YOU LIKE THEM. AND WHEN THEY GET ENOUGH VOTES, THEY MOVE TO A FINANCING STAGE AND CAN BE FUNDED PROJECTS FROM THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, PAID FOR BY THE PEOPEL
  46. BUT THE PLATFORM CANNOT LIVE ON ITS OWN – IT NEEDED A MARKETING INFRASTRUCTUE THAT WE CREATED AROUND IT: Digital centerpiece – FEATURING CONTENT AND IDEAS FROM THE CROWD Compelling video content; Social media engagement; Public relations; Paid media; Search engine optimization.
  47. IN THE 1ST 6 MONTHS THE RESULTS WERE IMPRESSIVE
  48. NOW WE’RE GOING TO VISIT THE U.S. CITY OF SEATTLE
  49. THE CITY’S TOURISM HAD FALLS OFF AND THEY BELIEVED THEY NEEDED A BOOST TO BRING IN ANEW BREED OF TRAVLERS. SEE BULLETS ABOVE
  50. SEE BULLETS
  51. OVER A 10 WEEK PERIOD, THE RESULTS WERE IMPRESSIVE
  52. AND LET ME END BY COMING BACK TO ST. LOUIS WHERE THE REGION HAS DONE WHAT A LOT OF CITIES ARE DOING THESE DAYS – HARNESSING THE POWER OF BEING A “STARTUP CITY” – KIDN OF THE NEW BLACK
  53. St. Louis was a city of industry – major global brands and companies. But THAT WAS 100 YEARS AGO. MORE RECENTLY the economy has changed and in the past 10 years there had been a rather radical change
  54. IT WAS BUILT AROUND STARTUPS, ENTREPRENEURISM – THE PROBLEM WAS THAT NO ONE KNEW ABOUT IT OUT SIDE OF ST. LOUIS. WE WERE GREAT AT TALKING TO OURSELVES
  55. IT TAKES US BACK TO THIS MODEL – AND WE NEEDED TO GROW THE ECOSYSTEM AND ENSURE THAT VENTURE CAPITAL DOLLARS WERE FLOWING IN, NEW STARTUPS WERE LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES THERE, AND THAT CONNECTIONS WERE MADE WITHIN THE ECOSYSTEM
  56. AND SO WE CREATED AN INFORMATION ENGINE CALLED ACCELERATE ST. LOUIS THAT WAS MEANT TO ACCOMPLISH 2 THINGS: CONNECT THE PIECES OF THE ECOSYSTEM THAT WERE IN PLACE ASSUMING THAT STRENGTH IN NUMBERS WOULD PROPEL THE REGION FORWARD; BROADCAST TO THOSE OUTSIDE OF THE REGION SO THAT MORE STARTUPS AND VENTURE CAPITAL WOULD MOVE INTO THE CITY
  57. FIRST – CONNECT ALL OF THESE PIECES - CREATE A NETWORK OF RESOURCES
  58. SECOND: HARNESS THE THOUGHTS, EXPERTISE, PASSIONS AND EXPERIENCES OF THOSE WORKING IN STARTUPS AND RELATED ORGANIZATIONS IN THE REGION.
  59. AND WE SHARED THESE EXTERNALLY THROUGH MAJOR MEDIA LIKE FORBES
  60. ENTREPRENEUR
  61. AND THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
  62. AND THEN SHARED THAT CONTENT AGRESSIVELY THROUGH EMAIL, SOCIAL CHANNELS, AND WITH ADDITIONAL MEDIA
  63. AND THEN SHARING THAT CONTENT AGRESSIVELY THROUGH EMAIL, SOCIAL CHANNELS, AND WITH ADDITIONAL MEDIA
  64. AND THEN SHARING THAT CONTENT AGRESSIVELY THROUGH EMAIL, SOCIAL CHANNELS, AND WITH ADDITIONAL MEDIA
  65. AND THEN SHARING THAT CONTENT AGRESSIVELY THROUGH EMAIL, SOCIAL CHANNELS, AND WITH ADDITIONAL MEDIA
