2. Brand Strategy Design Framework
1. What do the targets care-about?
2. What is the brand really good at?
3. What primary value does the brand provide
that predisposes the targets to purchase?
What's the Idea?

3. Were you AT&T or P&G?
We’d start out with a multivariate statistical
analysis.
What's the Idea?

4. Then we’d then build a regression analysis.

5. And finally, we’d create a cluster map.

What's the Idea?

Proof feeds consumer reasoning and logic. It shows
rather than tells. Proof cements the brand claim.
13. Brand Strategy
The navy seals of commercial
maintenance.
Preemptive
• With 15 years of
experience in building
maintenance there are
few issues we haven’t
seen and can’t anticipate.
• A clean, repaired building
and property is a healthy
property and one less
likely to have issues.
Fast
• We’re nearby
• We’re fast because when
you need us, we don’t
check the contract to see
if it’s something we are
paid to do. We just come.
• No email or voice mail or
administrative assistants
taking message. You call
the boss and he makes
things happen.
• The faster we fix things,
the faster the “first call”
turns into the last call.
Fastidious
• One thing we’ve learned is
that getting the job right
the first time, makes for
happy customers and
keeps us from having to
do rework.
• Excel employees share
their president’s fastidious
nature and are
incentivized so.
• If we can keep the NY Jets
locker room germ free,
imagine what we can do
for your office or mall?
