How are brands created?
![Page 9: BRAND INSIGHTS MOST BRAND STRATEGIES END UP BEING A PENETRATING INSIGHT IN THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS. – BRAD JAKEMAN, US MARKETING EXPERT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d2f5503460f94a072a3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Brand foundation = the value proposition (positioning)
![Page 10: BRAND INSIGHTS MOST BRAND STRATEGIES END UP BEING A PENETRATING INSIGHT IN THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS. – BRAD JAKEMAN, US MARKETING EXPERT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d2f5503460f94a072a3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The product “value” is defined by the company as what they “build” into the product
But it is not always defined as such by the consumer
Consumer value is always perceptual, not objective fact.
All consumers do not experience the same product in the same way

The Brand Story
This becomes the perceptual frame through which consumers understand, value and experience the product
And these frames are “sticky.” They endure, which is what makes brand cultures so powerful…and so important to marketers
They endure because there are too many choices
We’re lazy They give us collective experience (brand
communities)
![Page 24: BRAND INSIGHTS MOST BRAND STRATEGIES END UP BEING A PENETRATING INSIGHT IN THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS. – BRAD JAKEMAN, US MARKETING EXPERT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d2f5503460f94a072a3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Brand insight is about understanding the reality of this brand frame, not necessarily about changing it

Differentiation
Where do we stand relative to our competition in our consumers eyes?
What are we offering that consumers perceive as added value in the category?
How significant are the points of differentiation? Are they worth pushing further? Do consumers value those points of differentiation?

Stretch
Is the brand perceived as inspiring or innovative?
Does it “define” and “push” the category in a way that excites/interests consumers?
Is the brand alive and growing or dull and dying in consumers eyes?

Brand Insight
The process of uncovering where your brand sits on these dimensions
![Page 31: BRAND INSIGHTS MOST BRAND STRATEGIES END UP BEING A PENETRATING INSIGHT IN THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS. – BRAD JAKEMAN, US MARKETING EXPERT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d2f5503460f94a072a3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Several basic areas of questioning to elicit brand insight
What is the consumer’s connection to the category? How does it fit in their world view?
What defines the consumer’s ideal experience with the product/category? How would this make them feel?
How does this ideal compare with what currently exists? Does any brand come close to delivering the consumer’s ideal? How?
What other associations does the consumer have with your brand? Competitors? Seek good and bad.
What would your brand need to do to make consumers believe it could achieve their ideal?
