We know intuitively that managing the customer portfolio well leads to improved business performance. This slide deck shares important insights into what makes customer management work and how to measure it. This is based on research done by QCi (the main players now with The Customer Framework Ltd) and although I put this deck together 6 years ago I was astounded as to how relevant the thinking still is. The sad reality is that Customer Management capability hasn't improved very much over the years (in the majority of cases, hence we are still subject to inconsistent and poor customer experience) yet it remains a topic that is spoken about and focussed upon by many organisations. The difference that I find today versus 7 or 8 years ago is that MORE people talk about customer management than previously, however I don't se much improvement in the understanding of what it involves or much improved capability in operationalizing customer centric business.(this is a generalised statement)

Structuring for success - Developing a dynamic structure for your marketing t...B2B Marketing
With marketing evolving rapidly in response to adoption of emerging digital communication techniques and changing buyer behaviour, it's imperative that the skill set of the marketing function evolves too, to reflect this and to enable the brand to compete effectively in the digital age.
Furthermore, marketing must be able to concisely communicate and report on the value of what they are delivering for the organisation, to all departments and particularly to the board. Fresh from delivering Deloitte's Olympics sponsorship, brand and marketing director Annabel Pritchard will focus on how to build a marketing function that's fit for purpose and structured around delivering clear and measurable business benefits. This session will cover:
•Structuring the team - ensuring a dynamic mix of specialisms across the marketing function
•Managing and nurturing the marketing team - encouraging learning and skills development
•Raising the profile of marketing - reporting value to the Board and championing the value of marketing across the business.

Seven Steps for Revitalizing Your BrandR. Jay Olson
If the time has come to re-energize your brand, follow this proven framework to get your CEO and executive team behind you to mobiliize your initiative, and ensure your company's investment drives profitable long-term growth and asset valuation.
How you communicate with clients, anticipate their needs, share insights of value, and keep enlightening them along the way — these elements require go-to-market execution just as much as introducing a new digital banking solution.
While the scope of a successful go-to-market execution strategy will vary, the following three essentials are critical:
• Client Focus – Which clients and prospects, industries and regions are you targeting, and why?
• Value – Do your products demonstrate measurable and direct value to meet clients' critical needs?
• Competition – Are your products, people and value proposition best in class?

Making the business case for
brand change
Connecting brand strategy to business results
by Mike Rocha
Competitors are gaining ground. The look and
feel of products within your company’s portfolio
needs a refresh. Employees are uninspired
and disengaged. Your brand has outgrown (or
underutilized) its current identity or positioning.
Whether the realization came about as a result of
formal analysis or your personal observations, you
know your brand isn’t working hard enough for
your business—and something’s got to change.
However, to make the kinds of changes that
will drive your business forward, you also
know that investment and support from the
top of your organization will be required.
As you prepare to make the business case
for brand change, you will probably have
questions to answer:
• How should the brand be positioned?
• What is the optimal brand
architecture?
• What kind of investment will be
needed?
• What value will this create for
customers?
• What impact will this have on
customer behaviors and revenues?
• What ROI can we expect?
Answering these questions requires a
very diverse set of skills, from developing
strategy to consumer research, analytics
and financial modeling, determining the
investment required and, crucially, the
articulation of a compelling case. It requires
a holistic view of a brand that can connect
the dots between the way your brand
functions, how its expression influences
customer perceptions and behaviors and,
ultimately, how the strength of your brand
impacts financial performance.
By bringing together market, brand,
competitor, and financial data, the brand
valuation model provides a framework
within which strategic options can be
assessed and business case modeling
conducted. In addition to brand value,
business case modeling will include
estimates of top and bottom line
improvements, as well as expected changes
in business value.
To fully harness the power of your brand to
drive choice, win loyalty and command a
premium, specialist skills must be brought
together and combined with a strategic
overview.The goal, of course, is to secure
future earnings and increase market share,
but to arrive there, your brand must stay
relevant.What will the future look like? Is
the total experience of your brand one that is
likely to create identification, differentiation
and value next quarter, next year, or five years
from now? Knowing how your brand
impacts financial results is critical to
maximizing brand and business value
and staying competitive—and profitable—
in the long-term.
3. Making the business case for brand change Interbrand | Pg. 3
Interbrand’s approach to
business case development
Many firms claim to be able to evaluate
strategic branding options. However, very
few have the range of skills needed to tie
the impact of branding to financial results
(and therefore brand and business value).
In order to do this, you must first establish
the key value drivers for the business. In the
telecom sector, for example, the biggest
driver is typically subscriber turnover or
churn, but ARPU (average revenue per
user) and subscriber acquisition rates
are also important. In financial services,
the drivers include customer numbers,
average products per customer, or balance
on account. In the automotive sector, the
drivers are typically unit sales volumes,
average selling price and dealer incentives.
To fully appreciate how value is generated,
it is critical to understand the relationship
between brand perceptions and the value
driving customer behaviors we want to
model. Using retail as an example, if we
are able to create a more engaging in-store
experience, we can expect that customers
will spend more time shopping and enjoying
the atmosphere.When encouraged to
experience a retail environment at their
leisure, customers tend to purchase more,
and potentially higher-value, items. However,
in order to gain any real advantage regarding
revenue generation, it’s not enough to
know that this sort of change is generally
beneficial—you need to know how to make
it happen and exactly where you might
need to invest.
Before committing resources to brand
changes, businesses want to know if the
changes will be worth making and what
the nature of those changes might be.To
that end, a range of research and analytical
techniques are available to help organizations
better understand the connections between
customer perceptions and value driving
behaviors.At Interbrand, we deepen our
understanding of these relationships by
connecting existing data from across the
business (such as data from market research,
CRM, and financial systems) and also
commissioning new research (which may
involve testing new concepts or
brand propositions).
Once research and testing have helped
identify what kinds of changes might be
necessary and how the brand might benefit
from implementing them, a commitment
to invest is the next step. In most cases,
upfront investment is usually needed to
get improvements underway.This may also
be followed by ongoing operational costs
to, for example, deliver certain hallmark
experiences to support a revitalized
brand proposition.
To help inform decision-making and make
the case to upper management and the
board for investment, we examine the
variables in a financial model of the business,
compare the potential upside with the cost
to deliver, present strategic options for
brand change, and show how each approach
is expected to impact brand and
business value.
“Investing in your brand is not just a nice ‘extra.’
Brand change can deliver significant returns,
boosting both perception and your bottom line—
but it has to be done right.”

Interbrand was engaged by an upmarket
hotel brand with a smaller global footprint
relative to key competitors like Hilton and
Marriott, meaning that its brand needed
to work harder to attract and retain
customers worldwide.
After assessing the hotel chain’s objectives
and the competition it was facing, we
knew we needed to address a number of
key areas to strengthen the brand:
• Identify an authentic, relevant and
differentiated brand proposition
• Identify the key touchpoints
through which the new brand
would have the most impact on
customers
• Create a business case to
demonstrate the expected
financial impact of the new
proposition
• Creatively execute the new
proposition across key touchpoints
At the time, the brand was perceived as a
business traveler-focused chain. However,
our analysis identified clear space and
opportunity in the marketplace: a niche
between high-end luxury hotels like
Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons and large
business-focused chains like Hilton and
Hyatt.We also felt that the brand had the
potential to offer something different,
a luxurious yet accessible alternative
for those who would be travelling for
business as well as pleasure.
We conducted extensive market research
and found what really distinguished the
brand’s target audience was their attitude
to travel:
• Worldly - They shared an interest in
other cultures
• Discovery - They had a willingness
to try new things
• Authentic - They sought authentic,
enriching experiences
• Optimistic - They looked forward to
travel and its pleasures
What these globe-trotters (or aspiring
globe-trotters) ultimately had in common
was a heightened level of sophistication—
they wanted to be“in the know.” It was
this key insight that inspired our brand
proposition.
We wanted to ensure that the hotel
chain became the go-to brand for people
who wanted to be in the know, and help
establish the proposition and strategy
for a hospitality brand that went out of
its way to deliver authentic and enriching
experiences that make the traveler’s
world feel bigger, and the journey more
rewarding.
To figure out where the new brand
proposition would have the biggest
customer impact, we employed
quantitative touchpoint analysis (see
Figure 2). While“value” turned out to
be the most significant driver of overall
customer advocacy, staff and in-room
experience were also very influential
factors.
Once we had a clear sense of what
was driving customer preferences and
perceptions, we then examined the
relationship between customer advocacy
and hotel performance.Through this
analysis, we were able to demonstrate
how our suggested brand proposition
and strategy would not only improve
customer experience, but also increase
bottom-line profit (by tens of millions of
dollars).
With a strong financial case as the
foundation for our recommendations,
we developed a strategy and creative
execution for each of the most
impactful touchpoints. Starting
inside the organization, we created
an internal branding engagement
and communication program to build
understanding and excitement among
employees for the new proposition.
To deliver a higher level of personal
attention, a locally-tailored concierge
concept was developed on-site and
online.
Building on the new proposition, we also
created a philosophy for room design and
experience that provided a real sense of
location inside the room including, for
example, local intelligence guides and TV
welcome imagery.Today, this concept
has been taken even further.Tapping
into their target market’s love for travel
and cultural curiosity, the hotel invites
visitors to explore the world through
cuisine by offering a culinary mobile
app that features the hotel’s chefs in
various regions sharing local recipes and
engaging the senses.
The impact? The first year post-launch
saw a 10 percent increase in brand
consideration among the target
audience, revenue per room increased
12 percent, and the hotel owner’s share
price rose by 26 percent.

A technology brand approached us in the
midst of considering spinning off one of its
larger divisions just as a change of senior
leadership cast doubt on the viability of
the deal.The management team did not
have a clear perspective on the best brand
scenario going forward, and lacked adequate
information on customer preferences,
loyalty and purchase drivers.
Interbrand helped cut through the clutter
by clearly articulating the choices available
and communicating the rationale behind
the optimal strategic option.An Interbrand
team spanning three offices delivered an
econometric model and global study of
3,600 respondents in just three weeks. Our
findings demonstrated that, if the brand
owner proceeded with the decision to
divest, the brand would have to produce
massive growth in the next five years in
order to pay back rebranding costs and make
up for anticipated customer attrition.
Interbrand not only helped highlight the
best strategic option and scenario for the
brand, but we also exposed the crucial
need for innovation to build equity
and long-term shareholder value—
regardless of the choice management
made.We also identified the need for
active employee engagement in order to
rebuild trust and generate loyalty.
Our work was leveraged not only within
the marketing department, but also at
the CEO-level, showing that Interbrand
delivered exactly what was required to
support the decision-making process.
Our analysis helped the brand change
course, strongly influencing the future of
shareholders, consumers and thousands
of employees, making a memorable
mark on the brand’s timeline and paving
the way for its growth and continued
success.

6. As these projects illustrate, investing in your
brand is not just a nice“extra.” Brand change
can deliver significant returns, boosting both
perception and your bottom line—but it has
to be done right.
By consulting with experts who have the
strategic and analytical capabilities to deliver
maximum business impact plus the insight,
talent, and diverse range of skills required to
make the business case and then execute a
winning creative strategy, organizations can
leverage the power of their brands to deliver
real business impact.

potential of a heritage photography
brand, both in its existing market as
well as other potential markets.
Interbrand assessed the market
potential of the brand using a
quantitative choice modeling study in
its target markets.This allowed us to
simulate different scenarios for each of
the sub-segments of the market into
which the brand wanted to launch and
calculate the overall volume and value
potential for the brand. Combined
