The document discusses how brands need to be transparent like snow globes in order to build emotional connections with consumers. When shaken up by controversy, great brands will prevail with a clear image when the dust settles. A brand's identity stems from its origins and indicators like its leaders, mission, employees, and tone, which all need examination. To resonate deeply, brands must have soul, heart, and understand the concept of branding, otherwise it is like putting lipstick on a pig.
The document discusses building brand love in B2B. It suggests that brand love can help B2B brands stand out from competitors by creating emotional connections with customers.

The document argues that brand love provides benefits like protection from competitors, room for mistakes, and positive word of mouth. It emphasizes that brands should express their vision consistently across all touchpoints to foster love.

The blending of PR, advertising and design is crucial to effectively building brands today.

The most advanced brands are starting to shift from addressing individual’s needs in their advertising to actually conceive products that are enabling a community to gather around the ideas they love.
The document discusses how collaboration has become essential to competition in business. It covers the challenges of social collaboration both internally and externally. It suggests businesses build talent pools and use social media celebrities as brand ambassadors to take advantage of collaboration's benefits like content co-creation, but that collaboration must be done continuously.

Márla.ie branding presentation 2011Márla.ie South East Marketing Institute S...Lee Grace
Branding is the set of associations people make with a company, product, or service. Branding helps define the target market, differentiate from competition, promote messages, create loyalty, and drive sales. Consistent branding adds value by helping consumers make decisions and generates loyalty. It also provides an engagement tool. People are generally willing to pay more for a branded product. Defining a brand involves answering questions about its big idea, values, vision, and personality to develop a strong brand. Powerful brands like Coca-Cola become eclipsed by their brand equity and associations people have with the brand. Branding practices are important for both large and small businesses.

Branding in the Digital World: Thinking Beyond Logos and Colour PalettesStephen McGill
Branding in the Digital World by Stephen McGill provides 3 key points:
1) Digital marketing has changed how brands are discovered, experienced, and perceived, but has not changed what a brand is - a collection of perceptions in customers' minds.
2) Digital branding is one channel to connect with customers and an important touchpoint, but strategy should drive technology, not vice versa. Brands must be where audiences are and constantly engage and evolve.
3) When developing a brand digitally, consider objectives, promise, positioning, experiences, and personality - but ensure the digital presence reinforces the overall brand strategy.
The document discusses the concept of a brand and introduces the Lean Brand approach. It defines a brand as the relationship between an organization and its audience, not superficial elements like logos. The Lean Brand focuses on discovering the emotional value for customers through experimentation and learning rather than relying on a "brand genius." It advocates building Minimum Viable Brands and getting customer feedback through metrics to iteratively improve the brand-customer relationship.

10. Our Responsibility
“Brands go too far when an unspoken
strategy is to lure the consumer into an
environment created at such a scale as
to reinforce our human significance.
When the objective is to appeal to the
irrational…to elicit greater brand
commitment, then the brand has gone
too far.”

11. Our Responsibility
As communicators, we have an important responsibility.
Never before has our role in shaping our surroundings been as important
as it is today.
No longer can the impact we have be measured solely by how our work looks,
or how clearly it communicates to one intended audience.
Today, communicators are ethnographers. We are agents of change and cultural
architects. We provide navigation for the most complex of interactions.
We are creators of social awareness and amplifiers of our political voices.
Our way of thinking is a valuable new commodity, even across the blurred lines
that once divided many disciplines.
We are asked to guide, consult and innovate while being cost-conscious, efficient
and timely. We are expected to inform, improve and rebuild while we are also
called on to be pragmatic, sustainable and green.
To be a communications professional today is to take on the responsibility of
proving our value by seeking knowledge and understanding needed to solve
creative problems, regardless of medium.
