2. 1. CONSUMER INSIGHT
Marketing was born
to make product
become brand,
proposing consumer
a relevant &
inspiring choice .
Marketers can only
do this when we
understand the
consumer at the
highest level -
Insight
Some basic definitions
+ Need: The basic human requirements which are consumer’s desires for a
product’s or service’s specific benefit, whether that be functional or emotional.
+ Want: The desire for products or services that are not necessary, but which
consumers wish for. Someone will need food but may want a hamburger, fries and a
soft drink, but someone else will also need food in just the same manner but will also
want a mango, rice, lentils and beans. Wants are therefore shaped by one’s society
and surroundings.
+ Desire/dream: A sense of longing or hoping for a person, object or outcome. When
a person desires something, their sense of longing is excited by the enjoyment or the
thought of the item or person, and they are motivated to take actions to obtain their
I am thirsty, I need

4. What is INSIGHT ?
In: deep inside, emotions, expectation, dream, fear
Sight: what we see outside, behavior, habit, attitude
--> Insight is a penetrating understanding which provides
hooks or clues that lead to brand building opportunity
Brand’s consumer insight is formed from three elements: consumer truth, category truth, brand truth/product
truth
.
- Apple: A lot of time people don’t know what they want until you show it to them
- Nike (Find Your Greatness): There is a fat kid in all of us.Working out is good for all of us, no matter what your
own personal goals are. We don’t have to push to win a gold medal to be motivated to get out there and run.
- Benylin (Take a Benylin Day) : Having a cold really sucks, trying to fight through it and get to work really sucks,
I know in the back of my mind I should call in sick and get better
- Oreo Double-Stuff : Children love what they instinctively discover for themselves
Examples

5. Why do we need insight
From consumer understanding “when women are out
drinking, they want to loosen up and have fun but stay
in control and look sophisticated, Bacardi Breezer
produces a kind of product (less alcohol), pack design
(nice, elegant), bottle design (long bottleneck), price
(high)…
Example:Insight is very important because it is the
guiding principle for all marketing activities
such as : brand positioning, brand
communication, brand activation, portfolio
planning, innovation, trade marketing…

6. How good insight look like
Fundamental truth
Deep emotional drivers
Personal
Category specific
4 factors that create
a good insight
Fundamental truth
Category specific
Deep emotional drivers
Personal.
Example
Whenever i stay up
late enjoying over-night
parties or fried food, i
feel hot inside my body
which makes me
uncomfortable. I am in
need of a product that
can help me cool down
my body so that I can
play happily without
being worried about
my health (Dr Thanh)
Whenever i stay up late
enjoying over-night parties or
fried food, i feel hot inside my
body which makes me
uncomfortable
a product that can help
cool down my body
play happily without being
worried about my healthI am in need

7. Insight exploration techniques
Why we have to use these techniques to
find the insight?
Consumer is such as an iceberg and we
only see 20% outside of them. What they
say is completely different from what they
do, we can not directly ask the consumer to
find out their insight. Those techniques will
help us find the answer to why they do what
they do.
1. Word Associations
Records the first thoughts that come to a consumer in response to brand
Ex: What will consumers think when talking about Pepsi: blue, young spirt, ….
2. Collage Building
Ask respondent to assembles pictures that represent their thoughts/ feeling
about brand
3. Personification
Ask respondent to quickly pick the shape that they most associate with
whatever or whoever you are exploring. Then ask for feedback about their
choices- that is, what make the shape they picked the most appropriate choice
4. Third party projection
Ask 3rd people (not loyal to any brand) to compare their feeling about two
brands that they have know ( are using or have used)
5. Plan Exercise
Ask people to imagine a brand as a planet. What is the the colors of that
planet, how about people in that planet look like ..

consumer usage/behavior. In which, the attribute
and driver will be in important rating.
EXAMPLE
In Energy Drink (ED) category, the key brand attribute is
ENERGY KICK. And ED is the competitive and stable

BMW Powder ride Foxtail
Based on the design of BMW’s special edition of the X1,
Millhaus developed the campaign “Powderride” which
included the creation of a key commercial as well as the
implementation of multiple consumer activation measures
and their documentation.
The fox, which functioned as the key design element of the
X1 special edition, was adopted and transformed into a
very unorthodox consumer reward item: the BMW
Powderride Fox Tail. It enabled the holder the enjoy a
range of freeride-related benefits: free heli-lifts, first chairs
on powder days, front row parking or reduced lift-tickets
throughout the winter season.
In a short time, the Foxtail became a must-have item
amongst freeriders and helped position the brand within the
desired target group.

6. BRAND INNOVATION

29. BRAND INNOVATION MIX
1. Product Innovation 2. Communication Innovation 3. Channel Innovation
Product innovation is the creation
and subsequent introduction of
a good or service that is either
new, or an improved version of
previous goods or services
Ex: TGM Corporation created
Ubrand which is the first ―e-
learning social network‖ in the
world to help people gain
valuable knowledge everyday
by motivating them to raise
their ―personal brand mark‖.
Ex: This fun digital subway ad
in Sweden for hair-care
products (Apotek brand) was
rigged up to recognize when
trains entered the station—
and then showed a woman's
hair blowing all around, as
though windswept by the
train. It's a simple, delightful
effect—playful, responsive
and seemingly magical in the
way it erases the line between
ad and environment.
Channel innovations encompass
all the ways that you connect your
company‘s offerings with your
customers and users.
Ex: In Vietnam, Vexere.com is
the first ―bus booking center‖
that allows customers to buy
tickets online with
competitive price.

30. BRAND INNOVATION MIX
4. Process Innovation 5. Packing Innovation 6. Pricing Innovation
Process innovation means the
implementation of a new or
significantly improved production
or delivery method (including
significant changes in techniques,
equipment and/or software)
Ex: Uber supported ―sharing
economy‖ by connecting
―customer‖ who wants to move
and ―taxi driver‖ who is free and
wants to drive through
technology platform. Customer
simply sends requirements to the
app, taxi driver who meets these
requirements then will come.
Ex: That people have to turn
ketchup bottle upside-down to
take the last drop makes them
uncomfortable. Top-DownTM
ketchup bottles of Heinz pave the
way for clean ketchup
convenience and easy storage.
Ex: Nanosolar (America)
invented solar battery that
uses nano technology to
produce electricity with half-
price compared to normal
technology.
Packaging innovation seeks to
increase resource efficiency,
eliminate waste and reduce
environmental impact through
improved design and the use of
alternative materials.

31. OUTCOME OF BRAND INNOVATION
Expand brands
beyond current
category
Launching brands in
new territories
Reading new
consumer groups:
With UBrand, TGM has
successfully expanded
business field to ―e-
learning category‖
business.
With ―buy 1 get 1 on
Tuesday‖ and ―30 minutes

campaign, Domino quickly
occupied the pizza market
when penetrated Vietnam
in 2010.
In 2009, Masan launch Omachi noodles to
respond the need of new consumer group
who wants to enjoy noodles but are afraid
of feeling hot inside (pimples may appear,
etc…) thanks to the fact that with Omachi
noodles is made from potato fiber, very
tasty without fear hot.
Moreover, Omachi noodles package was
design in ―vertical layout‖ which made it
different from all other noodles brands in
Vietnam with ―horizontal layout‖.

32. INNOVATION TYPES
Refresh Compete Break-through
Inspiring consumer‘s on how to
use the right combination of
products for a specific need or
regime has been what has set
L‘oreal apart from some of it‘s key
competitors in men‘s skincare.
There is no change to product,
only the way in which they are
bundled together and presented
to the consumer.
On Dec 23th 2015, VINASUN
launched ―Vinasun App‖ to allow
customers to order taxi online.
Moreover, customers who use this
service will be driven in a new car
with the same price as traditional
taxi. Through this innovation,
VINASUN wants to compete with
Uber and Grab Taxi.
In 2007, Iphone was launched.
Apple made a new technology for
smartphone by mixing ―an iPod
with touchscreen‖, ―a cell phone‖
and ―an innovative Internet
device‖. After that, Apple officially
jumped into smartphone market.
Keep existing benefits but refresh
the offer
Add new benefits to existing offers New-offer/ New benefits

33. INNOVATION PATH
CONTEXT INITIATIVES CONCEPT
In this step, we have to define
clearly: Brand, Financial Target,
Direction Description, Benefit
platform, Innovation Program,
Scope, Initiative Areas.
Output: Identify Possible
Innovation Initiatives
build on Brand Strategy House define each initiative in more detail create concepts for each initiative
In this step, we have to define
clearly: Launch date,
opportunity, trends, P+L,
innovation type.
Output: Act as the brief for
concept development.
In this step, we have to define
clearly: Name, description,
insight, emotional benefits,
reason to believe, visualization.
Output: Prepare successful
concepts for Innovation Funnel.
Concept: “2nd Lives”
of Cocacola
EXAMPLES
Consumer insight: I actually want to reuse and recycle
Cocacola bottles to help protect environment, but I don’t
have time to create new function for them.
Benefits: Cocacola will show you how to reuse bottles in
many ways.
Reason to Believe: With different kinds of screw-on cap, we
can add more valuable function to normal bottles: ketchup
bottles, weightlifting tools, painting brushes, etc…
Detail: created 16 red screw-on caps that transform the
otherwise-useless left-over plastic bottle into something
creative, fun and usable.
