There are areas in our brain which can store certain brands and slogans but not all. The brands that truly influence our mind are the ones that emotionally we are attached with.
Many of the successful brands of today had created an exceptional customer perceived value and they compete for emotion as it stays connected with the customers’ heart instead of the head
Every human being is a brand, the way we dress, talk and socialize. To be a brand we should think like a brand, which requires a different mindset, perspective and unique approach.
Your promise as a brand is about how you want to be described and how you would like other people feel about you, for which we will have to raise the bar both at a personal and professional level.
Our senses fuel our perceptions of the objects and events that surround us. Yet as marketers we're often limited to just two of them—sight and sound.
How much more compelling could brand experiences be if we used the science of perception to design better, more persuasive interactions—taking into account all of our senses?
In our latest white paper, we explain how an experiential approach harnesses the science of the senses to create more effective, more engaging experiences that amplify your message and brand.
Emotions play a great role in our day-to-day lives. Harnessing emotions in social media campaigns is a winning tactic to grow your customer base to increase sales.
The time has come for us to change the way we think about
marketing so we can execute it more effectively within our new marketplace. More specifically, the mission for marketing must
evolve from generating transactions that sell goods and services to building emotional relationships that are then leveraged to
sell goods and services.
The Secret to Brand Growth? Mental and Physical AvailabilityPercolate
This presentation covers the importance of mental and physical availability, the key to brand success. Are customers thinking of your brand and are they able to access it when they’re thinking of it? Brands largely compete not in terms of differentiation or even product offering, but in terms of mental and physical availability. When a brand is strong in those two regards, more people can more easily buy it in more situations.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC.

But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.\

- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead

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.
3️⃣ Collaboration will help us unlock growth. Who we work with will define how fast we grow. Meta continues to evolve their Creator Marketplace and now TikTok are beginning to push ‘collabs’ more too.
2. Hi! My name is Constantinos
Pantidos and I believe that
companies could improve
people’s lives even more
effectively if they had
deeper human insight.
3. For consumer satisfaction
to be as complete as
possible, we must take
care not only of the needs
consumers understand
and are able to evaluate
but also and especially
the ones they are not
consciously aware of
4. While 95% of our purchase
decision making takes place in
our unconscious, we tend to
spend a disproportionally high
time on product characteristics
and price and promotions
because they are easier to
grasp

11. Beneath all the
phantasmagoria of
global marketing
communication, lies
order and rhythm,
the source code of
our human
behaviour
12. * A book will shortly be published,
extensively analysing the motives
underpinning 20 categories of everyday
consumer goods and our fundamental
human motives. It puts forward the
most integrated platform for engaging
people to date.
The motives for buying sweets
are presented in a summarised
form in order of increasing
relative importance in line with
their power to influence our
buying decisions*
13. INDULGENCE: On an initial
layer of motivation we
consume sweets because
they are not for
nourishment.
14. The meaning of their
purchase is precisely that it
is non-essential. We buy
them as “luxurious
indulgences”, expressions
of snobbery, gourmet at
times.
15. PLAYFULNESS: Proceeding into a
deeper layer of motivation,
some of the most successful
narratives are based on the
intrinsic capacity of sweets to
enliven us. Sweets are an
essential part of playfulness,
flirting and lifting the spirit.
16. They are things that we
do things to - we want
to handle them before
we commit them to our
tongues, where we
play with them anew.
17. As they delicately explode
in the mouth, the glucose
rush elevates the mood,
removes mental pain, and
tips the balance of life in
favour of amusement.
Above all, sweets mock
seriousness.
18. ESCAPE: More significantly,
sweets help us “get away”
from the monotonous grind
of our everyday work.
Anticipation has always
been associated with sweets
that come in huge varieties
that excite curiosity like in a
treasure hunt.
19. And we are
impatient to see the
different pieces that
each box contains,
to reach the core, to
find the gift inside
20. STRENGTH: On a deeper
layer of motivation,
what makes sweets sell
are narratives that make
us experience them as
“usable energy”.
21. Intrinsically, sugar is a
fuel producing heat and
energy and the primary
energy source for brain
cells
23. Sweets have always
been used to build
relationships. The most
shared product in the
world, chewing gum is
the quintessential
candy. Eating a sweet
is itself a substitute of
company.
24. DEFIANCE: The very nature of
sweets is to be ambivalent
and subversive. As is the case
with all passions, sweets are
dimorphic: We want more of
that which is forbidden.
26. Our eyes open wide, our
face and body are filled
with energy, the volume of
our voice increases, we are
filled with an appetite for
life, with an appetite to
solve our bigger problems
understanding that all
depends on our mind and
our mood.
27. HEDONISM: On a more
profound layer, embodying
the inherent gustatory and
emotional pleasure of
sweets, some of the most
successful brands claim the
sensual nature of sweets as
their own.
28. Don’t we call our lover
“honey”, “sweetie”, “sugar
baby”? Don’t we often give
chocolate as gifts on a first
date? For our mind love itself
is sweet.
29. SECURITY: On the
innermost level of
human motivation,
sweets are the most
efficient emotional
compensators.
30. Humans want to have
good feelings now. The
speed with which sugar
is digested is one of the
reasons we like sweets.
33. Deep category
understanding is just the first
step in creating engaging
narratives. To build a
proposition that is both
authentic and deeply
engaging, the brand must
germinate the bare motives
that drive the category in a
unique and profoundly
human way.

The Wheel Of Motives™ can
help us activate the unique
codes of a brand, those that
engage people at a
profound human level
based on a three-phase
methodology *
* For the complete theory about
how the fundamental human
motives work please contact the
author or wait until the
publishing of the book
35. Phase 1: Psychographic
landscaping
• Mapping the meaning people
derive from the category
• Deconstructing the meaning
systems of the brands in the
category
• Tracing meaning-saturated
areas and fundamental
motives which are catered for
less effectively
36. Phase 2: Brand (re)definition
• Locating the core of the brand
(based on the fundamental
motive(s) it activates)
• Mobilising the core to give a
unique answer to what
consumers have always
wanted from the category
37. Phase 3: The unique
language of the brand
• Imprinting brand strategy
into our fundamental human
motives, the roots of human
communication
• Translating brand strategy
into Intrinsically Engaging
Narratives™ - tangible and
ownable experiences based
on the profound code
38. To capture the deep
resonances that make
a brand successful,
and its consonances
with the category, a
profound knowledge
of the rich hierarchies
of inherent concepts
of our mind, and their
underground
connections, is
required.
39. In tracing the pathways our
mind uses to create reality and
by activating the very forces of
life, The Wheel Of Motives™
offers considerable advantages
over the brand strategy models
used by multinational companies
today. Brands and concepts
developed through The Wheel
Of Motives™ are heartfelt, and
profound.
40. Above all, by founding brand strategy on
our fundamental human motives the brand
becomes deeply humanistic in that it offers
holistic, universal experiences that no
longer simply satisfy some individual
needs but the needs of the species
42. (Re)define your brand through the
human fundamentals if you seek
to:
• Deeply engage people locally
and across cultures
• Develop genuine concepts that
work year after year after year
• Align all brand communications
under one master idea
• Increase the ROI of all your
brand’s activities
