Steal This Idea: The Originality Scale / By Marty NeumeierLiquid Agency
In an age of nonstop innovation, companies and individuals with original ideas have a distinct advantage over those who don’t. Why? Because original ideas are at the heart of innovation, differentiation, and brand transformation. The Originality Scale is a simple way to categorize your ideas according to the knowledge and imagination that informs them.
Learn from top global experts from strategic branding firm Siegel+Gale in a free webinar as they share their insights on how brands create and deliver messages and experiences across the globe, while protecting the brand as it grows.
The webinar will cover:
+ Why understanding the true drivers of customer choice across markets is essential to positioning a brand for success
+ How to accommodate local markets, which despite globalization continue to behave in their own unique way
+ What are the best practices for the technical side of global brand management, which requires a strategic and cost-conscious approach to creating and managing global trademarks, linguistics, and URL negotiations
+ How global brands are creating customer experiences that tell the story in a local voice, both online and offline
What is Category Marketing?
It’s looking at your brand / consumer relationship in a totally different light. Seeing opportunity in categories you don't find yourself in. It’s both exciting and empowering idea that has been around for a long time can be a great way to infuse new campaigns with a greater purpose.

In terms of marketing, brand implementation refers to the physical representation and consistent application of brand identity across all visual and verbal media communications.
Brand implementation is part of the branding cycle and is generally applied during the brand design and development phase. Brand implementation is the continuous and consistent application of the brand's image across all business units, communication channels, and media.
Brand implementation strategies can aid in determining how you should optimally reveal your brand assets in a way that is tactical, measurable, and manageable. It’s a plan that simplifies your brand launch, mitigating risk, and goes towards improving your chances of producing a long-term and sustainable brand.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Product Placement
Product Placement is an advertising
technique used by companies to
subtly promote their products through
appearances (integration of products
into the plot) in film, television, or
other media.
Benefit:
Product is not perceived within an
advertising context, but as part of
the plot.

Peer-to-peer (P2P)
P2P is the decentralized diffusion of all types of files
Describes the communication among
equals.
Within a P2P network all computers are
equal.
No central database (every peer makes
a part of the existing information available).
No peer administrates (or knows) the total
stock.
Peers are autonomous.
No central entity, which is navigating or
coordinating interactions.
Peers, connections and information are
not reliable.

Due to the lack of controllability, an implementation of the P2P technology for
objects of an enterprise seems not to lead to success.

between the customers and towards the brand.
Role of the company: Enabler, not in the centre of interest (fascination), concentration on
customer interaction, detailed planning of the event.
Problem: Relationships are breaking after an event

Economic relevance of community marketing
Brand loyalty has a rational and a social
component
Functional and social aspects are in
principle equally weighted components
Only community marketing not enough!
Social aspects of consumption (customer
involvement) have the biggest impact on the
willingness of recommendation for a brand
Community marketing is cash-relevant:
The combination of product quality and
social cover is encouraging the frequency of
purchase and is resulting in a higher
willingness to pay
Building up differentiation potentials via
community value:
Social criteria are less replaceable than
service components
