This document discusses the importance of effective brand building and communications planning in the digital age. It notes that brands provide shortcuts to meaning for consumers and that being meaningful, different, and salient is key to growth. Successful communications plans start with understanding the task, aligning with brand differentiation through insights, choosing an effective creative platform and channels, and creating executions that achieve goals. Synergies across channels can multiply brand impact. Case studies demonstrate how understanding consumers and creating differentiated, meaningful campaigns can drive outcomes like increased market share. Effective planning is fundamental to capitalizing on opportunities in today's changing media landscape.

A COMPLETE GUIDE TO COMMERCIAL SEMIOTICS: How To Use Semiotics In Marketing T...Dr. Martina Olbert
Understanding semiotics has never been easier!
This presentation aims to give you basic overview of what semiotics is, what the difference is in between academic & commercial semiotics, and demonstrate use of semiotics on some practical examples to show you that semiotics is a powerful instrument for marketing research & brand planning.
Semiotics just keeps on running where traditional research gets short of breath. Market research doesn't have an access to the broader context of a brand universe because it is too busy asking consumers what they think. Semiotics, on the other hand, goes right to the source: the culture. It screens its codes, from which it extrapolates meanings that can be fueled back to the brand and ensure its cultural relevance with the local market, as well its consistent & sustainable management in the future.
Thanks to detecting these cultural codes semioticians are able to see the brand consciously the same way that consumers see it unconsciously. This is the very reason that semioticians can have more answers than consumers could ever give you, especially to the why questions that consumers cannot have answers to because they are the products of their culture & environment.
I have detected that semiotics has 3 main levels, on which it can be used in marketing. These levels are Validating, Inspirational & Strategic directly answering to the most important questions of any text: WHAT, HOW & WHY. These three levels of semiotics usage serve as a basis for learning more about how we can use semiotics to unlock the hidden potential of your brands.
Feel free to contact me with further questions regarding this presentation or with semiotic consultancy requests:

Brand Tracking - Taking The Pulse On Your BrandMichaela Mora
Branding has been around since the beginning of times as a means to differentiate products. Did you know that the term “brand” is derived from the old Norse word “brandr” which means “to burn” and used in the context of marking livestock to identify the owners. Branding in the marketing context occurs in the consumer minds and the “marks” not always come out as marketers intended, hence the need to implement brand tracking studies.
Questions addressed:
1. What brand metrics should be tracked?
2. How often should a brand be tracked?
3. Who should be included in a brand tracking study?
4. How to interpret brand tracking metrics?
Semiotics, as an integrative discipline, combining knowledge from different realms, seems to be the most useful approach in managing brands and designing marketing communication. This presentation offers a glance overview of how brand can be seen from this perspective and shows how it can be beneficial for advertising agencies and PR companies while designing the brand communication.
Our Startup Branding Journey - What Makes A Brand Memorable?Customericare
We recently took on one of the biggest challenges so far: Building a solid brand and culture for our startup. We thought it could be fun to share our journey with the world and see what we learn, what we find out and how it can help others take on a journey of their own.
We wrote about the importance of branding here as a first step into the journey: https://customericare.com/startup-branding-and-culture/
In these slides we focus on what makes a brand memorable. And here's the article that goes with the slides about building a memorable customer experience: https://customericare.com/create-memorable-customer-experiences/

Kill Your Darlings: Making a Strategic Choice About Which Profiles You Don't ...Falcon.io
Social media has given brands the ability to reach their consumers almost anywhere in the world. While that, at first glance, might make social seem like the golden goose, many are realizing that trying to be everywhere and reach everyone can negatively impact their performance. With finite resources, brands risk spreading themselves too thin in an attempt to be omnipresent. To address this, more and more brands are working to identify and focus on the areas with the greatest opportunity for growth, both on and off social media. Consequently, many brands are closing and consolidating many of their profiles, making a conscious choice of where not to be and not to focus.
Tune in to this session to hear Casper Vahlgren, Senior Strategist at Falcon.io, outline how selectiveness and prioritization should be key components of the strategic process for any brand and the impact this can have on their social media ecosystem and tactics.
As an agency, we like to figure out the hard stuff. And for B2B marketers, the hard stuff is everywhere these days.
Budgets are static, but the task of reaching your audience has never been harder. The good news for buyers is that they have more control and more choice than ever before. The hard stuff for marketers is that the media environment is changing every day, and is mind-numbingly crowded and complex.
Businesses are placing lots of small bets on the margin–digital, mobile, content marketing–rather than fundamentally rethinking their marketing mix. These small bets don't pay off against the big marketing goals; getting famous, changing perceptions, or selling more.
There is a better way.
The Earned Premium is the impact–measured by audience engagement–generated by your marketing investment beyond what you paid for. In our experience, campaigns architected from the ground up with participation in mind generate 20-30% extra engagement. And study after study shows that a message shared by peers is more valuable than the ones you pay for.

THE UK Stars OF 2015’s Christmas Advertising - InfographicKantar
Millward Brown’s Christmas advertising study explores the performance of 18 of this year’s leading TV ads, testing them with consumer audiences using its AdExpress tool.
Viewers reviewed and scored each on 12 factors proven to drive sales and build a brand: Branding, Involvement, Enjoyment, Made me love the brand, Sets the trends, Persuasion, New and different information, Relevance, Believability, Different from others, Meets my needs.
The 18 ads reviewed are from brands and retailers: Asda, Argos, Boots, Burberry, Cadbury’s, Celebrations, Debenhams, dfs, John Lewis, Lidl, Marks & Spencer, Mulberry, PayPal, Sainsbury’s, Sky Movies, Very, Waitrose and Warburtons.
Advertising plays a vital role in building brands. But even the best advertising, for a well-loved brand, perfectly deployed through media, needs a receptive audience.
Consumer receptivity to advertising is our industries most precious asset – it is our oxygen.
Today I want to convince everyone here that advertising receptivity is at genuine risk and we must, together, take better care of it.
Our behaviours as an advertising industry have been more bad than good and this is turning people off. We are belching out our own version of CO2 and ruining the environment for communications effectiveness.
People are becoming less receptive to advertising and it is our own fault – that’s the inconvenient truth.
How Technology And New Platforms Are Changing Brand CommunicationsKantar
Good ads have 3 key metrics: interaction, communication and persuasion. Personal communication is becoming easier and more popular with the help of technology and Big Data. Problem- solving ads are the important part of brand communication.
Is It The Death Or Rebirth Of Digital Advertising?Kantar
Digital Ad spend has been growing steadily across the globe and in some markets now outpaces TV spend.
With this rise in spend we have also seen a steady increase in the formats and technology available to advertisers.
But are we as an industry forgetting who is at the heart of all these efforts? Are we in danger of losing consumer interest/ receptivity once and for all?

Monthly Social Media News Update May 2024Andy Lambert
TL;DR. These are the three themes that stood out to us over the course of last month.
1️⃣ Social media is becoming increasingly significant for brand discovery. Marketers are now understanding the impact of social and budgets are shifting accordingly.
2️⃣ Instagram’s new algorithm and latest guidance will help us maintain organic growth. Instagram continues to evolve, but Reels remains the most crucial tool for growth.

Editor's Notes
How many seconds does it take people to decide on the appeal of a web page?
Judgments are made fast and instinctively. It takes 1/20 of a second for people to make a decision about the visual appeal of a web site, quicker than they can form a conscious thought.
This little fact comes from “Attention Web Designers: you have 50 milliseconds to make a good first impression” by Gitte Lindgaard, Gary Fernandes, Cathy Dudek and J. Brown from the Human-Oriented Technology Lab at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. The paper finds that people can make accurate decisions about the visual appeal of a Web site in one 20th of a second. This instinctive reaction correlated well with more deliberative assessment of appeal of separate control samples given as much time as they wanted to make the judgment.
But we do not just react instinctively to web pages. We react instinctively to everything. Everything. And that reaction is directed by the emotional charge of the object, event or person.
Dividing the way our brain works into two systems is a huge over-simplification. Kahneman states,
“You should treat ‘System 1’ and ‘System 2’ as nicknames, like Bob and Joe, identifying characters that you will get to know over the course of this book. The fictitious systems make it easier for me to think about judgement and choice and will make it easier for you to understand what I say.”
In reality, the two systems are inter-related and the balance of power fluctuates between the two depending on the intensity of the reaction and the difficulty of understanding the situation and making a choice.
As a marketer the last thing you want to do is make things difficult for consumers. Ideally you want them to respond to your brand instinctively and positively and not to have to think about their purchase decision.
A brand is stored as a series of fragments, rather than a discrete entity. However, the associations aren't just a jumble – they are organized into three main groups which correspond to three discrete brain systems, each of which deals with a different type of information.
Knowledge: the key sensory cues which identify something – its shape, its color, its name, and the key information about what it is.
Experience: how something is used, where it's found, what it does. In marketing terms, how we experience the brand.
Emotion: the positive (or negative) feelings we have toward something – its desirability, its inherent appeal.
So while the emotional response primes us to respond positively or negatively the other two modules prime us to know what the object of situation is and what it is good for.
A similar pattern exists for the likelihood that longer-term predisposition will increase but both new and established brands benefit equally

Jury President Mainardo de Nardis, CEO of OMD Worldwide, described this year's mantra for the Grand Prix as "the three fundamentals of our industry: technology, analytics and storytelling."
"One thing we all particularly liked [about the Google entry] was technology driving targeting driving briefing and strategy and eventually creative," he said. "That's the reverse order from what one usually sees and I found that fascinating."
