The Design of TED – TEDx as a marketing tool for companies and personal branding.
(A research published by Janet Wiebach)
Abstract
TED – Ideas worth spreading has a unique business structure built up through intense
Design Effort and Design Thinking strategies that resulted in TED’s success and contin-
uous growth. This paper proves that design is a key element of TED’s operations and
subsequently analyzes the TEDx program in a deeper sense. It gives practical insight into
TEDx events and draws the conclusion that TEDx events can be useful to increase long
term customer trust, strengthen shareholder relations and thereby broaden a company’s
marketing mix. TEDx can help to strengthen and communicate a company’s or person’s
reputation. This is not achieved through direct marketing at a TEDx event but rather
through the fact that someone who engages with TED has certain qualities: globally en-
gaged, culturally open-minded, seeking a deeper understanding of the world and believ-
ing passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world.
Most people who present at TEDx events are unique individuals who might also succeed
without the platform. In fact, TED is very precice on whom to partner with and who can
present. Inappropriate activities result in suspension. Being a partner or presenting at TED
proves that the person or company standing behind this person has qualities that TED
shares. Organizing a TEDx event or presenting an idea as a speaker can help to reconfirm
values you have already communicated as a business person. In conclusion, TEDx events
cannot be used as direct and short term marketing strategies but can be seen as an addi-
tional effort for a leader or company to strengthen their reputation.
