What is a Brand?What is a Brand?

Not simply a product -- anything offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use, or consumption that might satisfy a need or want.

A product can be:– Physical good– Service– Retail Store – Person– Organization– Place– Idea


Product = Commodity

A product is a produced item always possessing these characteristics:• Tangibility•Attributes and Features

Brand = “Mind Set”

The sum of all communications and experiences received by the consumer and customer resulting in a distinctive image in their “mind set” based on perceived emotional and functional benefits.

Timothy D. Ennis, Ennis Associates, Inc


Derivation– Old Norse “brandr” = to burn – branding livestock

Heritage– A means to distinguish goods from one producer vs

another. AMA (technical definition)

– “Name, term, sign, symbol, or design, or a combination of them, intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of competition”


AMA defines a brand vs a Brand.What does the AMA definition leave out?


Keller’s Definition:– A product, but one that adds other dimensions that

differentiate it in some way from other products designed to satisfy the same need.

Rational and tangible Symbolic, emotional and intangible

The psychological response to a brand can be as important as the physiological response.


Product = Commodity

A product is a produced item always possessing these characteristics:• Tangibility•Attributes and Features

Brand = “Mind Set”

The sum of all communications and experiences received by the consumer and customer resulting in a distinctive image in their “mind set” based on perceived emotional and functional benefits.

Why Does A Brand Matter?Why Does A Brand Matter?


Products don’t exist in a void… They are bought because consumers have

found something they relate to in them, something which they value

Brand = Credible Guarantee


Relative Brand Distinction– The more distinctive or different a brand is in

the consumers “mind set”, the stronger brand preference becomes. This is critical to keeping competition from the consumer’s consideration.

The Successful Brands

– Don’t JUST sell products

– Communicate Clear Values

– Stretch Across a Number of Products

– Attached to Consumers/ NOT Products

– Individualized Relationships


Allow Consumers to clearly identify and specify products which genuinely offer added value.

Deep respect for the way products fit into consumer’s lives = “core” of success

Consumer Relationship = Loyalty

Social Changes in their favor

Power Brand = Master Brand? Power Brand = Master Brand?

Manifestation of Brand EssenceA term that USED TO apply only to

overarching family brands (Nestle)NOW applies to entire companies that rally

around a single brand identity– Focus on entire value proposition rather than a

single product’s functionality

Branding the CorporationBranding the Corporation

Brands are not just products but companies:– Ford– IBM– Sony

Why has marketing refocused efforts on the potential of corporate brands?

Cost of creating and supporting product brands has become prohibitive– $1Bil to develop a brand across US, EC, FE

Increasing retailer powerTraditional brand management not as

effective/efficientFocus moving up the value chain


Master Branding the Corporation Enhances Brand…

Clarity– Clear brand priorities

Synergy– Every exposure generates awareness

Leverage– Corporate brand in all Company strategies

Brand Relationship SpectrumBrand Relationship Spectrum

Thus, Benefits of Corporate Branding:– Every marketing dollar benefits each one of a

company’s division/products– Attracts and inspires employees, stakeholders and

business partners– Supplier and Vendor relationships deeper and

longer term– Connects up goodwill generated by operations +

adds public support/PR in crisis


Benefits of Corporate Branding:– New product launches/extensions cheaper and

quicker– Long Term strategic focus– Financial performance and value creation can be

enhanced


What Might be Some of the Difficulties?– Organizations can be extremely complex– Wide variety of audiences make consistent

proposition communication difficult– Too many businesses: Easier to build a rep &

image when one is known for one product or service


What Might be Some of the Difficulties?– Led from the top. CEOs are difficult to pin

down for day-to-day brand management– Business Directors often have finance or

operations backgrounds – not marketing

THINKINGDIPLOMA

“ Pretty much everything today can be seen in relation to a love-respect axis. You can plot any relationship – with a person, with a brand – by

whether it’s based on love or based on respect. It used to be that a high respect rating would win.

But these days, a high love rating wins. If I don’t love what you’re offering me, I’m not even

interested.” - Kevin Roberts, Saatchi and Saatchi

Brand Value Corresponding to Brand Value Corresponding to Brand Hierarchy PyramidBrand Hierarchy Pyramid


Functional Values: – Govern product performance

Coke refreshes its drinker Volvo gives its driver a safe ride IBM PC provides quick computing

– Don’t differentiate products Pepsi refreshes Mercedes is as safe as Volvo Apple is as quick as IBM

– Brand Owner’s “bright ideas” can be instantly copied in every continent



Expressive Values: – Say less about the product & more about the

consumer– Reflect and enhance the consumer’s sense of

him/herself– Provide a key source of brand differentiation

Marlboro’s - masculine values Armani’s - status and fashionable values Apple - creative and human values



Central Values: – Most Enduring– Right to the Core of the Consumer’s Belief System– At their purest = embodied in religious, national or

political persuasions– Comparable power = embody mass movements or

cultural trends 1960’s Coke “I Like to teach the world to sing” Today= Nike “Just Do It”, Richard Branson’s Irreverent

Process creates a bond with the consumer, and hopefully, long-term loyalty


The First thing you need to do is create a marketing vision to rally your forces.

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

Proverbs 29:18


“Something supposedly seen by other than normal sight”

“The ability to see something not actually visible”

“A force or power of imagination”“The experience of having a revelation”“Something supernaturally revealed as to a

prophet”


MUST BE:

Exciting, even inspirational, to all of your stakeholders: customers and prospective customers, managers and employees, analysts, reporters – everyone.



MUST BE:

So big, so bold and so audicious that expressing it – never mind executing it – has a transformational effect. You start to become what you want to be. The dream and the reality fuse. Kevin Clancy, Copernicus, Counter Intuitive

i.e. YOU NEED A BIG HAIRY VISION

Brand Vision ChecklistBrand Vision Checklist Inspirational & uplifting; it moves people Exciting; it gets the blood pumping Aspirational; it is barely attainable Readable; it is clearly communicated Unique/special/different Very specific, not general Connotes superiority or domination Bold and brash; it oozes with confidence Causes people to want to invest in/work for the company or

buy the company’s products Transformational, revolutionary, not evolutionary


Let’s review some published vision statements

Assign them a college grade from 0 to 100.



A beverage company

“We exist to create value for our shareholders on a long-term basis by building a business that enhances the company’s trademarks.”


Grade = 63


A beverage experience company

“To have bigger brand awareness then

Coca-Cola.”

David Sutton, Zyman Marketing

Big Hairy Audacious Goal


A motorcycle company

“Yamaha Wo Tsubusa!”



A motorcycle company

“We will crush, squash, slaughter Yamaha!”


Grade = 85


A technology company

“To eclipse IBM as the #1 technology company in the world.”


Grade = 91


A gasoline company

“We will become the dominant brand in the service station industry and beyond – with the friendliest, fastest, cleanest stations everywhere – one of the most admired brands on the planet.”


Grade = 96

Jim Collins, Good To Great


HEDGEHOG ConceptThe Essential Strategic Difference between

the Good-to-Great companies:– Founded their strategies on deep understanding

along three key dimensions– Translated that understanding into a simple,

crystalline concept that guided all their efforts





What are you deeply Passionate About

What you Can be The Best in the World at

What Drives Your Economic Engine

A Hedgehog Concept:

•Is not a goal to be the best,

•not a strategy to be the best,

•not an intention to be the best

•not a plan to be the best

•It is AN UNDERSTANDING of what you CAN be the best at.





A Hedgehog Concept

“Focusing solely on what you can potentially do better than any other organization is the only path to greatness.”

…Equally important they know what they cannot be best at.
