  12. NCSA Mosaic Web Browser But in recent years, that company-to-consumer interaction has dramatically magnified and fragmented.

  19. Characteristics of a brand ecosystem: Complex and diverse. They exhibit emergent properties that aren’t planned and can’t be controlled. • Different processes at different levels of scale • Share a common purpose, aligned around mutual success • Living, evolving, adaptive organisms

  23. Three kinds of owned platforms: 1. Engagement 2. Loyalty 3. Mass
  24. Properties of an 
 Engagement Platform — Primary growth engine for 
 the company Based upon an operational asset Delivers an exchange of value Acquisition tool that often generates WOM Engages collaboration partners Increased usage builds its value Delivers marketing benefits as collateral, not primary, purpose
  25. Properties of a Loyalty Platform — Generates frequency of usage Leverages external content creators for efficiency Assembles brand and partner assets into a cohesive “media” network Optimized for traffic/SEO and user experience Can contain both digital and physical assets Fed by other platforms
  26. Properties of a 
 Mass Platform — Aggregates advocates and media to drive scale Operates on the company’s calendar Works in pulses or bursts that are timed to big news Often has its own marketing program built around it Highly connected to other platforms
  27. Shared platforms • Bring new ideas and audiences to brands • Helps them extend into areas of culture that they can’t access alone
  28. Properties of Shared Platforms — Delivers something entirely new, not old things in combination Brings different ideas together Cultural freshness and relevance is a key output Contains multiple levels of engagement Virality built in, not about catering to a mass audience
  29. Paid platforms Traditional and digital media platforms Traditional and digital distribution platforms
  30. Small brands suffer from lower market share and lower loyalty (purchase frequency). Loyalty is an outcome of market share - not the other way around. The surest way to gain market share is to increase your penetration (make your product more available). DOUBLE JEOPARDY PROF. ANDREW EHRENBERG
  31. Mass awareness is not mass penetration
  32. Paid Platform Strategy — Availability, not interruption: Make it really easy to buy your product/service. Don’t interfere with other actions users are trying to take.
  33. Business ecosystem The relationships and partnerships within your supply, manufacturing, services, distribution and retailing chain. The individuals in your organization and partner organization and their personal, business, political and spiritual affiliations.
  34. Your brand can change over night.
  35. Business Ecosystem Strategy — About reshaping value, perception and industry. Achieves commercial, social and environmental goals simultaneously. Makes ecosystem owners incredibly difficult to unseat or disrupt.

Business ecosystem Increase distribution Increase awareness Increase engagement Organic growth Communication of news Value enhancement Reputation change Business transformation Gain or increase relevance Meaning or image extension Audience extension
  37. PURPOSE IN A BRAND ECOSYSTEM
  38. Those companies holding leadership roles may change over time, but the function of ecosystem leader is valued by the community because it enables members to move toward shared visions to align their investments, and to find mutually supportive roles. THE DEATH OF COMPETITION JAMES F. MOORE
  39. Society is demanding that companies, both public and private, serve a social purpose. To prosper over time, every company must not only deliver financial performance, but also show how it makes a positive contribution to society. Companies must ask themselves: What role do we play in the community? How are we managing our impact on the environment? LETTER TO CEOS LARRY FINK CEO BLACKROCK
  40. Brand Purpose Strategy — Corporate social responsibility is not an add- on to purpose. It needs to be a central part of the mission. It must be aligned with and integrated into the business overall.
  41. Business aligns to purpose.
  42. BRANDS & EVOLUTION
  43. Julien Malland
  44. Culture’s role is progress http://www.today.com/video/crowd-turns-its-back-on-hillary-clinton-to-capture-selfies-773131843750
  45. Conducted a study to examine the relationship between cultural evolution and human evolution. Culture is essentially a second inheritance mechanism that operates 
 in conjunction with our genetic system. PROFESSOR IN HUMAN EVOLUTION AND SOCIAL CHANGE CHARLES PERRAULT
  46. Culture helps us evolve when biology can’t keep up.
  47. Brands help us live in the future.
