Do you know your consumer better than your competition knows your consumer?
Think of consumer insights like you do intellectual property. Your knowledge of your consumer is a competitive advantage. Consumer Insights are little secrets hidden beneath the surface, that explain the underlying behaviors, motivations, pain points and emotions of your consumers. Insights provide a connection point to show consumers that your brand is meant for them.
What are you doing to drive brand love with your consumers? The deeper the love a brand can build with your most cherished consumers, the more powerful and profitable that brand will be, going far beyond what the product alone could ever deliver.
There is only one source of revenue. Not the products you sell, but the consumers who buy them.
Graham Robertson, President of Beloved Brands Inc., discusses the importance of strategic thinking for marketers. He defines strategic thinkers as those who see "what if" questions before solutions, while non-strategic thinkers see answers before questions. Robertson argues that to be a great marketer, one must be both strategic and tactical. He provides a four stage model for strategic thinking: focus, early win, leverage, and gateway. Applying this model to historical examples like D-Day and marketing examples like Avril Lavigne's 2005 album launch, Robertson argues that focusing energy in the right areas can lead to bigger successes.

How to make decisions on advertising that drives brand linkBeloved Brands Inc.
Brand leaders who are good at advertising can get great ads on the air and keep bad ads off the air.
You need to make decisions to find the sweet spot where your brand’s advertising is both different and smart.
To be different, you need to achieve a branded breakthrough, using creativity to capture consumers. Gain their attention amid the market clutter and link your brand closer to the story.
To be smart, you need a motivating message to communicate the main message memorable to connect with consumers, and make the ad stick enough to move them to see, think, feel, or act differently than before they saw the ad.
In our Beloved Brands book, I outline principles for achieving attention, brand link, communication, and stickiness—the model I call the ABC’s. I show examples of some of the best ads in the history of branding to support those principles. I hope to challenge your thinking about your brand’s advertising.
Brand link is not just about more of your brand, but rather the right engagement of your brand, and the placement of your brand. Sometimes less is more, when you tell stories.

Beyond the Brand: Why Business Decision Makers Buy Into Strong Culturesgyro
The FORTUNE Knowledge Group and gyro produced a groundbreaking global study that shows how culture has taken the lead as the primary driver of long-term business relationships.
Five hundred global execs (director level or higher) were polled. The key finding: decision makers place a huge value on a business partner’s culture, what the company stands for and whether or not they back up their values.

60% of respondents said knowing what a company stands for is much more important than innovativeness and market dominance.
60% prefer a partner’s intent on doing what’s right even if it doesn’t maximize revenue.
81% agree that companies successful at long-term relationships make a direct correlation between their beliefs and the way they conduct business.

It identifies 4 main challenges: 1) The poor's perceived values and lack of purchasing power, 2) Lack of awareness and education about product benefits, 3) Limitations of distribution channels, 4) Social and cultural differences.

5. INTRODUCTION TO BRANDING
Everyone has a brand. From individuals to multi-national corporations, from charities to gangs, from restaurants to farms, everyone has a reputation that inspires some
feelings in others. The management of this perception and the creation of ideal perceptions, ones that align with our internal desires and goals, is a critical component
of company growth and sustainable success.
Brand is not just about customer service and quality products, though both are important elements. Brand is the sum of all interactions with everyone. That includes customers, clients, partners, and staff. Every contact with a potential customer creates
an impression, which in turn reflects on the brand image. These impressions form the
reputation of a company.
On the following pages, the branding process used to evaluate and define Hunter
Cattle as a brand is broken down into simple building blocks. These components
can be understood separately, but come together to form a complete picture of the
company.

6. BRAND STRUCTURE
Brand is about relationships. It is about the way that people interact with each
other, spaces, and services; the push and pull between expectations, needs, and
capabilities. The essence of a brand is formed through the connection between people’s motivations and the business’ response.
As a family farm, Hunter Cattle is built on a relational model; connecting with likeminded companies and community members through participation in farmer’s markets
and other outreach efforts. As we unpack what it means to shepherd and develop a
brand, it is important to recognize that the relationships are what really matter.
Expression of those relationships, in the way that they are exposed to the outside
world, is of equal importance to the relationships themselves. There are three simple elements that formulate the essence of brand creation, and these core elements

17. BRAND PERSONALITY
Brand personality builds upon the brand DNA by attributing a series of human characteristics to a brand. Personifying the brand allows for an easier understanding of
the nature of the brand through metaphors.
A brand is useless if it doesn’t empathize with its users. By personifying the idea of
a brand, we enable empathy for the customer through customer-facing communications and allow the customer to easily engage with the company.
Formulating a brand personality also creates a decision-making platform by establishing a set of metrics that strategic decisions can be evaluated against.

20. Brand Personality Story Tale
Hunter Cattle is like a modern young mom who cares for and protects her children.
This care and protection is not stifling or constricting, but freeing, connective and
honest. Her relationships are deep-rooted, genuine, and friendly.
She believes that good nutrition is the base for happy children. She wants her children to be able to make informed and conscious decisions, and to recognize that they
don’t live in isolation, but in community.
Her goal is independence: freedom from the restriction of the way things are, and a
drive to constantly search for the way they should be. Her dream is to raise healthy
and happy children, and to enjoy her relationships with them as they grow and discover together.
