Entrepreneur's guide to building a memorable startup brandIryna Nezhynska
This guide is my contribution to the global startup community.
The goal: to change the overall early business’s mindset that branding is “always a long and expensive process that is available for big companies only”. It used to be, but it is no longer a truth. Moreover I wanted to remind startups that in the era of product overload, your success depends on how people will perceive you and what emotions will turn them into your customers.
That is why I created this step-by-step guide to building a Minimum Viable Brand for startups. It will help you to create product that people will love.
How to write your annual Brand Plan so that everyone in your organization can...Beloved Brands Inc.
Have you ever noticed that people who say, “We need to get everyone on the same page” rarely have anything written down on ONE page? People use the term “fewer bigger bets” all the time, yet these same people seem to be fans of those small little projects that deplete resources. People say they are good decision-makers, yet struggle when facing strategic choices, so they try to justify doing both options. A well-written Brand Plan should force your hand in how to allocate your brand’s limited resources to drive the highest return. We believe that a Brand Plan should be on one page!

I have found it pretty helpful in guiding the conversation and making it more collaborative and interactive.

Brand Archetypes: The Science Behind Brand PersonalityStephen Houraghan
We all have an emotional connection with a brand where the alternative simply won't do. Your connection with that brand is likely on a human level. Whether they speak your language, champion a cause you believe in or represent who you are, the connection is more than just transactional. The world's most loved brands all connect with us using a similar framework. This framework is based on decades of scientific research and has its roots in Greek Mythology.

Copy Strategy studiata per la campagna Adv per il
"New Brand" Amiacque.
La campagna advertising studiata per il “nuovo brand Amiacque” si basa sui diktat fissati in fase di sviluppo del “marketing plan”. Gli “obbiettivi di marketing” in questo senso sono molto precisi:
- Sviluppare nei confronti del Brand Amiacque una maggiore “Brand Loyalty”.
- Penetrazione del Brand nei vari “Target Obiettivi”.
Dagli “obbiettivi di marketing” derivano gli obbiettivi derivano gli obbiettivi di comunicazione:
- Avvicinare i residenti della Provincia di Milano a questo Ente Pubblico.
- Generare e infondere fiducia nel pubblico/consumatore.
- Amiacque qualcosa di più di un’impre-sa pubblica, i cittadini devono sentirsela propria.
Andare oltre quello che
l’immaginario collettivo proietta quando si parla di impresa pubblica. I cittadini devono sentirsi partecipi dell’impresa, sentirsela
propria.
Tale atteggiamento sviluppa fiducia e partecipazione da parte del pubblico/consumatore alla vita dell’impresa e alle sue iniziative (eventi, adv, comunicazione istituzionale, customer service).

We’ve always been an organization with strong values, but scaling our Employer Brand with such rapid growth takes more than a compelling Employer Value Proposition (EVP). We needed to find a way to iterate on our current frameworks. To articulate and capture what makes Hootsuite special, and make it easy for current and future employees to sing from the same sheet of music.
Our answer was to develop an Employer Brand playbook, “A Guide to #HootsuiteLife.” The playbook was developed to share the why, what, and how we approach Employer Brand; including examples of Employer Brand campaigns and how our peeps can bring them to life. Focused primarily on equipping our talent department, we also wanted to build something that our employees felt equally empowered by.
Use this playbook to inspire your own employer brand.

A startup’s guide to brand strategy: 4 steps to bootstrap human-centered desi...Startupbootcamp
This workshop walks through 4 step by step methodologies based on design thinking principles for how to bootstrap customer insights and begin a brand strategy. Each step is illustrated by a concrete example of a brand and UX refresh conducted at Startupbootcamp Istanbul for Benimcep, a secure online-marketplace for people to buy and sell smartphones at a discount and under warranty. Presented in the final month of the accelerator, it serves as a gut-check for entrepreneurs to see how well they understand their target customers and if they built a brand experience based on that understanding.
Presented by: Megan Colgan is co-founder of The GO Project and a mentor and entrepreneur in residence at Startupbootcamp Istanbul 2014 helping with brand development, customer experience design and marketing strategy. (Find her @MegColgan)
Workshop Philosophy:
Empathy is the impetus of great design. Customer empathy—a fundamental understanding of a customer’s values, needs, perceptions and emotions—is at the core of designing a successful product, a successful user experience and it is at the core of designing a successful brand.
Studies like the Stengel 50 and an analysis by co:collective on Storydoing, prove that brands that connect to and deliver human value are more successful in acquiring customers, creating advocates, earning customer loyalty, and performing financially. Such success is rooted in authentic customer connection which requires digging much deeper than aesthetics and tactics. It requires talking to and understanding customers through constant feedback and iterative testing.
This is the first session (Sep 4) of our Free Open Advanced Branding Masterclass at www.mootee.typepad.com. Pls rememebr no books are needed. We will forward additional reading material for all registered participants.

Brian Kalma fue ponente en la pasada edición del European Ecommerce Conference (celebrada el 29 de Octubre de 2009 en el Circo Price de Madrid). Director de User Experience de zappos.com, tienda online recientemente adquirida por Amazon por su 'extraordinaria orientación al cliente', la ponencia de Kalma se tituló 'Extending the customer Experience'
This is a presentation on Brand and Branding, written and presented by me recently.
The presentations tells about, what a brand is and how does it differs from other existing competitors. It tells about the difference between branding and marketing.
It covers certain examples of successful brands which have become one by adopting certain marketing strategies.
The presentation also comprises of certain Q & A's which could be helpful in becoming a brand. Though there is no specific method in this world to be able to become a brand.
The questions must be answered and the answers must be evaluated such that one could understand the importance of being a brand.
I strongly believe that becoming a brand is more important than sales and marketing. Sales and marketing are just two constituents of a brand.
In the race of achieving the targets and doing sales, almost all the companies miss upon the things which could have led them to become a brand.
As the inflow of money is faster than becoming a brand, companies usually suffer temporary profits rather permanent brand loyalty of the people they sell their product and solutions to.
I hope it will be useful for a pretty basic level of understanding.

Most often when you are discussing with customers on your requirements you end up donning the hat of a sales man displaying his ware with the intention of getting your ideas across and eventually the solution.

That is the wrong way to do the sales game whether you are peddling cloud,big data,AI or plain simple legacy migration into the shiny new thing out there.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. 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.

- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover
