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.

The document discusses using the brand resonance model to build a car brand. It explains the brand resonance pyramid, which has five levels: salience, performance/imagery, judgments/feelings, and brand resonance. It then provides an example of how to apply this model to the car brand DC Cars. At each level of the pyramid it gives details about DC Cars' brand salience as a luxury manufacturer, its performance in safety innovations, how customers judge and feel about its prestige and quality, and examples of brand resonance through social media following and owner clubs. The pyramid model is presented as a way to measure how well a brand meets customer needs and wants to create resonance.
Branding creates a unique name and image for a product in the consumer's mind. It gives companies a competitive advantage. There are several branding strategies like co-branding, national brands, private brands, and generic brands. Co-branding uses two company's brands on one product. National brands carry the manufacturer's name while private brands carry the seller's name, not manufacturer. Generic brands have no brand name. Brands simplify handling, represent quality, inspire confidence, and are essential for companies to be successful in competitive markets.
The document discusses the concept of value from the perspective of buyers and advertisers. It states that while buyers seek overall value, defined as quality, service, selection and price, many advertisers overemphasize price in their advertising at the expense of other value components. This can undermine businesses by training customers only to purchase when deep discounts are offered, hurting profits and missing opportunities to promote other value aspects. The document advocates that advertising should align with a business's vision of delivering overall value rather than an excessive focus only on price.

The document discusses market segmentation, targeting, and positioning. It defines market segmentation as dividing a market into distinct subgroups that can be targeted effectively. It discusses different bases for segmentation, including geographic, demographic, psychographic, and behavioral variables. Geographic segmentation divides the market based on location, while demographic segmentation uses variables like age, gender, income.

Here is a chance to create a "big idea" for your brand, which that big idea is then used through the organization. It would help frame the long range Brand Strategic Road Map, helping to frame the brand promise, strategy, story, freshness and experience behind the brand. That big idea also gets used to tell the brand's story, both internally through vision, values and behaviours, and externally by creating a brand position in the minds/hearts of consumers through mass communication, logos/packaging and the inshore experience.

1) The document discusses the consumer decision making process, which involves need recognition, information search, and evaluation of alternatives.
2) It examines factors that influence consumer behavior such as cultural, social, and personal characteristics as well as the psychological processes of motivation, perception, learning, beliefs, and attitudes.
3) The stages of the consumer decision process are outlined as need recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, and post-purchase behavior.
On a daily basis I hear Marketing buzz words bantered about and it becomes obvious people say them and don’t really even know what they mean. I think people use the sacred marketing words like relevant, equity or insights, because they figure no one will challenge them. Of course, everyone puts “strategic thinker” on their Linked In profile. The problem I see is that a generation of Brand Leaders have not been properly trained and it’s starting to show. For the past 20 years, companies have said “on the job” training is good enough. But now the lack of training is starting to show up. The mis-use of these words can be linked to the lack of understanding of the fundamentals of marketing.

Leadership Brands: How The Right Strategy Can Beat The Un-EconomyTaitSubler
The document discusses the concept of leadership brands and how brands can adopt leadership characteristics to succeed, especially in difficult economic times. It outlines four defining characteristics of leadership brands: 1) they address intractable customer problems or create new categories, 2) they provide an aspirational identity for customers, 3) they emphasize values over price, and 4) they inspire tangible actions. Examples like Apple, Best Buy, and Obama are used to illustrate how brands can develop leadership themes by addressing these characteristics.
This document discusses branding and defines a brand as a combined effort between a company and consumer. It states that brands add emotion and trust to products and services to simplify consumers' choices. Brands help create relationships between brands and consumers to ensure loyalty. They also create aspirational lifestyles that allow brands to charge premium prices. The document discusses various aspects of branding including brand equity, awareness, preference, insistence and association. It notes that strong brands improve perceptions, loyalty, margins and marketing effectiveness.
SolarCity's brand focuses on being clean, efficient, and responsible by providing affordable solar power to homeowners looking to reduce energy bills and help the environment. Their storyboard shows a customer who pays high electric bills but signs up with SolarCity after learning they can be comfortable, save money, and curb global warming through solar power. SolarCity aims to position itself as the leading solar provider in the US through their modern yet practical brand personality and promise of "Power Forever".
Oh...you thought there were four? Maybe, but there are just two that can unlock growth and investment...Purpose and Position.
Your company didn’t start by accident - there is a reason why you do what you do. You solve a problem others cannot. You hold a core value that others ignore. But do your potential customers and investors know it? Your next customer encountered thousands of advertisements last month. Your next investor considered hundreds of pitches last year. Are you offering them a succinct summary of why you matter?
If you can’t articulate why you are worth buying from...fast...investors and customers move on.
So why are "Purpose" and "Position" so important?
1) Shows customers why they should pick you over a competitor.
2) Helps you raise capital because by explaining how you can win in the marketplace.
3) Connects with your customers in a meaningful way that will drive loyalty and word of mouth.
This document provides guidance on branding and positioning from Robert Wallace of Tallwave LLC. It emphasizes that branding and messaging will become more important as competition increases for startups. The document outlines the "2 P's framework" - Purpose and Positioning. For Purpose, it recommends defining the company's mission, vision, values and brand story. For Positioning, it recommends identifying customer segments, differentiators, value propositions and developing a positioning statement, tagline and proofs to believe the value proposition. The goal is to help startups win customers' hearts and minds by clearly communicating what problem they solve and their unique benefits.

The document discusses BrandZ, a study of brands conducted by Millward Brown that evaluates brand strength. It covers over 50,000 global and local brands across 250 categories. BrandZ maps a brand's position based on its presence and equity compared to benchmarks, identifies strengths and weaknesses, and predicts changes in market share. It helps understand relationships consumers have with a brand to diagnose marketing strategies.
The documents discuss the differences between products and brands. A product is something made in a factory that can be copied, while a brand is unique and timeless. It defines what a company offers and develops a personality through marketing over time. Brands are a company's most valuable asset because competitors can copy products but not the brand. Successful brands create loyalty by keeping their promise to customers through consistent performance. Marketing is becoming more important to sustain sales, reach new markets, and compete against increasing competition.
The document discusses branding and brand management. It covers topics such as brand identity, brand image, the difference between push and pull strategies, factors that influence consumer purchasing of branded products, the rise of private labels, and techniques for building brand image. The document also lists branding elements like logos, slogans, and packaging. It provides examples of brands that use different branding approaches and image builders.

The document discusses strategies for Indian brands to compete successfully against multinational corporations (MNCs) that have gained market share. It argues that the main reasons for Indian brands losing ground internally rather than externally. It outlines Onida's case study of fighting back against MNCs by focusing on high-end products, modernizing their brand image, and improving internal systems and processes. Key lessons include addressing internal management, quality, and mindset issues rather than blaming external factors. Indian brands must prove they offer world-class products and fight to dominate both premium and volume market segments.
The document discusses strategies for Indian brands to compete successfully against multinational corporations (MNCs). It argues that the main reasons for poor competitiveness of Indian brands are internal factors like management quality, systems and processes, and mindsets rather than external factors like financial strength or technology. It provides examples of how Onida regained market share after losing ground to MNCs by focusing on high-end products, modernizing their brand image, and improving internal processes. Key lessons are that Indian brands must fight in both premium and volume segments, reinvent themselves if needed, and work to break out of stereotypes associated with older Indian brands.
This document discusses brand positioning and extended brand positioning. It begins by defining key elements of brand positioning including brand essence, brand key, target audience, benefits, competitive environment, reasons to believe, and brand positioning statement. Examples of brand positioning statements are provided for different brands like DWL, Sunsilk, and Asus. It then discusses how brands can extend their positioning by exploring new target audiences, benefits, competitive environments, or values while staying aligned with their brand essence. Both successful extensions like Nintendo Wii and failures like New Coke are examined. The document emphasizes that brand extensions should follow a brand's DNA and not dilute the existing positioning.
This document provides an overview of marketing concepts and strategies. It discusses that marketing involves satisfying consumer needs from identifying wants to fulfilling them. Modern marketing is customer-oriented rather than product-focused. Developing strong brands through distinct identities and emotional values is important. Successful marketing strategies include cost reduction, improving customer experience, business model innovation, quality improvements, and niche positioning.

Advanced Storytelling Concepts for MarketersEd Shimp
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.
We will discuss:
• Rhetoric – The art of effective communication
• The Socratic Method – You cannot teach, but you can persuade people to learn
• Plato’s Cave – You sell products, but you market ideas
• Aristotle’s Six Dramatic Elements – The secret recipe for marketing stories
This is for senior marketers who are tasked with creating effective narratives or guiding others in the process. By the end of the session, attendees will have gained the knowledge needed to work storytelling into all phases of the buyer’s journey.
If you’re at all interested in digital

marketing is currently one of the
biggest trends in digital marketing as a
whole and is an area that many website owners and brands are investing in
heavily right now thanks to the impressive returns that they are seeing.

They represent the greatest
