WHAT IS BRAND?

@jonburgess

A brand is a "Name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that

identifies one seller's good or service as distinct from those of other sellers.“

- Wikipedia

–“A name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one

seller’s goods or services as distinct from those of other sellers. The

legal term for brand is a trademark. A brand may identify one item, a

family of items, or all items of that seller. If used for the firm as a whole,

the preferred term is trade name.” - American Marketing Association

–"It’s the name, the logo, the design, or a combination of those that

people use to identify, and differentiate what they’re about to buy" –

Gini Dietrich

–“The intangible sum of a product’s attributes.” - David Ogilvy

–“A brand is a singular idea or concept that you own inside the mind of

a prospect.” - Al Ries

–"A brand is “anything that leaves a mental picture of the brand’s

identity.“

- Leo Burnett

The Average CMO Tenure:

45 Months

Wall Street Journal 3/23/2014

Chief Marketing Officers“The CMO Is Dead” – Forbes 10/3/12

Most CMOs are not really immersed in marketing activities.

“The evolving role of the CMO” – McKinsey & Co. 2007Many chief marketers still have narrowly defined roles that emphasize

advertising, brand management, and market research.

“Why Do Chief Marketing Officers Have A Short Shelf Life?”

– Forbes 10/15/2009“Marketer’s Dilemma.” That is, focus on today’s results do the same thing that always worked and expect to get passed by aggressive

competition. Focus too much on long-term innovation and you miss today’s results.

Marketing Positioning: a system for finding a

window in the market, or more specifically, the

consumer mind.

“Its how you differentiate your brand in the

mind.”

“Perception not reality.”

Positioning - Brand Perspective

Focused on the perceptions of the prospect,

not the reality of the brand.

WHAT IS BRAND?

@jonburgess

How can we communicate it?

Our Perception

Old Brain vs. New BrainThe Old Brain. A relatively primitive portion of the brain, our Old Brain

houses emotion.

This powerful brain center takes charge when we are fearful or threatened, and

we can quickly take action without thought. Our Old Brain protects

us from all forms of threat, and drives us to overly simplify complex issues.

Our New Brain. Most of what we look for in business resides in our New

Brain – clear and complex thinking, deep analysis, computation, language,

creativity and other higher-order brain processing happens

here.

Our New Brain lacks the neurochemical horsepower to

exert itself when our Old Brain is engaged.

Dr. Richard Trafton http://newbrainforbusiness.com/the-new-brain-perspective/overview/

Positioning Statement

A short statement that explains how

products and services will be

differentiated from competitors and/or fit

into a small niche in the market.

It becomes the defining statement behind all

strategic and marketing decisions.

http://blog.ecornell.com/how-to-write-market-positioning-statements/

Guidelines for Good Positioning Statements

What makes a good positioning statement? Here are six keys to

keep in mind:

1. It is simple, memorable, and tailored to the target market.

2. It provides an unmistakable and easily understood picture of

your brand that differentiates it from your competitors.

3. It is credible, and your brand can deliver on its promise.

4. Your brand can be the sole occupier of this particular position in

the market. You can “own” it.

5. It helps you evaluate whether or not marketing decisions are

consistent with and supportive of your brand.

6. It leaves room for growth.

http://blog.ecornell.com/how-to-write-market-positioning-statements/

Template for Writing a Positioning

Statement

For [insert Target Market], the [insert Brand] is the [insert Point of

Differentiation] among all[insert Frame of Reference] because [insert

Reason to Believe].

The point of differentiation (POD) describes how your brand or product

benefits customers in ways that set you apart from your competitors.

The frame of reference (FOR) is the segment or category in which your

company competes.

The reason to believe is just what it says. This is a statement providing

compelling evidence and reasons why customers in your target market

can have confidence in your differentiation claims

Positioning Statement ExamplesWe will maintain a leadership position in the local market for professional /

commercial remediation services.

X will join the top three companies in our industry by increasing exposure in

the primary national media and developing an image that supports integrity

and trust among customers.

X will focus efforts on leadership in our local community by becoming known

and trusted for solar panel installation.

The ultimate fragrance for the discerning woman, our perfume delivers a

one-of-a-kind floral aroma immediately recognizable as classic and rare.

For World Wide Web users who enjoy books, Amazon.com is a retail

bookseller that provides instant access to over 1.1 million books. Unlike

traditional book retailers, Amazon.com provides a combination of

extraordinary convenience, low prices, and comprehensive selection.
