Jack Trout

Take away lessons…

Page 65: Bbs lecture

•  Your brand is what you stand for in the mind of the customer

•  The goal of branding is to find a simple idea, or position, that differentiates you from the competition

•  Being different is very important

•  The way you communicate this is through your brand identity

Take away lessons

Page 66: Bbs lecture

question

Page 67: Bbs lecture

Why does being different matter so

much?

Page 68: Bbs lecture

“today we live in an over-communicated society. Every year we send out more but receive less.”

Jack Trout

Page 69: Bbs lecture

Circa 1979

Page 70: Bbs lecture

today!

Page 71: Bbs lecture

“Today’s real competition doesn’t come from direct or even indirect competitors. It comes from the extreme clutter of the marketplace.” Marty Neumeier

Page 72: Bbs lecture

What is a brand?

The human mind deals with clutter the best way it can

Page 73: Bbs lecture

What is a brand?

by blocking it out!

Page 74: Bbs lecture

What is a brand?

To build a brand in the mind of your customer you need to cut

through the clutter…

Page 75: Bbs lecture

You need A sharp focus!

Page 76: Bbs lecture

Remember: Branding is all about finding a competitive mental angle

Page 77: Bbs lecture
Page 78: Bbs lecture
Page 79: Bbs lecture
Page 80: Bbs lecture
Page 81: Bbs lecture
Page 82: Bbs lecture
Page 83: Bbs lecture

Be BOLD

Page 84: Bbs lecture

Page 85: Bbs lecture

Why has branding become so

important ?

Page 86: Bbs lecture
Page 87: Bbs lecture

“In today’s world, people want to buy the product (or service) that says the right ting about them.”

John Hegarty

Page 88: Bbs lecture

As consumers we use brands to communicate

& reinforce our self image…

Page 89: Bbs lecture

Self image =

I’m cool I’m wealthy I’m healthy I’m a geek I’m single

I’m religious I’m a rebel I’m a hippy I’m liked I’m bright

I’m ethical I don’t care I’m thrifty I’m young I’m serious

Page 90: Bbs lecture

And generate peer group approval!

Page 91: Bbs lecture
Page 92: Bbs lecture

“Our lives are increasingly driven by fashion and style, not just the clothes we wear, but how our homes are styled, the food we eat, and the car we drive”

John Hegarty

Page 93: Bbs lecture

“How is your brand building a bridge between who your consumers are and who they want to be?”

Page 94: Bbs lecture

Take away lessons…

Page 95: Bbs lecture

•  We live in an over-communicated society

•  Today’s real competition is the extreme clutter of the marketplace

•  In order to cut through, an effective branding programme needs a sharp focus and simple message

•  Customers buy brands to help build and reinforce their self image
