This deck will instigate you to think about...
(1) How unearthing brand values is the most important thing in crafting a great brand purpose and breaking away from the category cliches and taking a leap!
(2) This deck answers the question - after having built a great brand campaign - why do brands fail? Lack of brand custodian & partner patience in thinking about the reality of brand profitability.
(3) Wow! We have done a great job in crafting a great brand purpose, cracked a great brand campaign - but how do we get on to always on? How do we engage?
(4) How do we sustain profitability - how do we address brand's every day business needs?
8. How
did
Emirates
break
away
from
the
category
clichés
&
arrive
at
“Hello

9. Product
Benefit:
Air-‐Travel
bridges

Socio-‐Cultural
Benefit:
In
a

percep=ons
of
other
cultures,
fly
to
understand
&
embrace
other
cultures
beSer
&
have
a
richer
perspec=ve
of
life.
10. Insight:
When
people
travel
to
a
different
places,
away
from
their
usual
rou=nes
where
they
play
certain
roles
–
they
hold
their
self-‐iden=ty
loosely…open
up
to
absorb
new
things
and
redefine
themselves
and
hence
redefine
and
grow
themselves.
Hence
they
make
their
perspec=ve
&
life
richer…they
understand
the
world
&
its
different
cultures
beSer.
Note:
While
“Hello
Tomorrow”
caters
brilliantly
to
wander
lust
of
every
avid
traveller,
it
also
beau=fully
tells
you
that
travel
to
embrace
new
cultures
opens
up
your
perspec=ve
and
changes
pre-‐conceived
no=ons.
By
seeding
in
a
contemporary
UAE
it
also
hopes
to
appease
apprehensions
about
the
arab
world.
CreaLve

Tomorrow

only
via
a
air

11. Well
the
leap
seems
amazing,
but
why
Emirates…
Any

brand
could
have
claimed
it…
12. The

where

we
stand
for

–
where

19. Insight:
Different
geographies,
different
geo-‐biological
condi=ons
lead
to
different
body/skin/hair
&
feature
types.
These
are
then
passed
on
from
genera=on
to

via

However
the
fashion
&
cosme=c
Industry
was
idolizing
a
par=cular
body/skin/hair
feature
type
as
the
most
aspira=onal
and
with
the
power
of
system
corrected
adver=sing
making
any
woman
who
did
not
look
like
that
feel
anxious
and
lowered
their

CreaLve
ConnotaLon:
Dove
stood
for
“Real

Where
real
beauty
is
in

naturally
are.
Every
woman
has
the
right
to
look
more
beau=ful
and
feels
more
confident
when
she
has
groomed

but
Dove
sought
to
tell
them
to
enhance
how
they
look
and
not
aspire
to
look
like
someone
else.
20. Well
the
leap
seems
amazing,
but
why
Dove…
Any
so/caring
soap
brand
(especially
replica=ng

could
have

21. Dove

hSp://www.slideshare.net/laurafalo=co/dove-‐brand-‐evolu=on

for

(borne

The
origin
Story:
Dove
was
originally
invented
during

2.
The
need
came
from
washing
the
deep
scathes
and

with
great

were
unable

28. Insight:
India

emerged
from

crossed
the

and

Where

stood
for

(wake-‐up

The
character
of

is
individualis=c,
sharp.
Tea
has
also
been
part
of
many
a

a

Coffee

took

29. Well
the
leap
seems
amazing,
but
why
TATA
TEA…
Any
tea
brand
could
have
actually
claimed
it…
30. The
MOTHER
Brand’s
DNA
&
credibility:
Would
any
of
us
have
believed
in
this
campaign
and
brand
stance
if
Reliance
had
a
tea
brand
and
claimed
this
territory?.
Tata
has
been
caring
for
India
as
a
society,
beyond
its
profitability
since
before
India’s
independence.
We
all
have
heard
rumors
of
JRD
offering
Indira
Gandhi
to
do
up
the
railways
for
free.
We
all
know
that

was
actually

32. Notable
Note:
TATA
TEA
rose
beyond
mere
product
USP’s
such
as
refresh,
revive,
re-‐
energize
etc;
and
it
went
beyond
the
mere
emo=onal
benefits
of
feeling
refreshed
enough
to
play
cricket
or
dance
or
to
bond
with
family.
From
its
brand
DNA,
behavioural
codes
and
product
truths
–
it
iden=fied
its
unique
brand
values
and
used
them
to
take
that
leap
to
a
differen=ated
brand
purpose
space
and
hence
claim
believable
stake
to
this
otherwise
generic
category
truth.
33. Hence
the
approach,
that
we
need
to
deploy
for
our
brand:
Start
with
the
product
truth,
marry
it
with
a
Brand
DNA
truth
and
behavioural
codes
and
iden=fy
a
value/set
of
values.
Then
find
a
relevant
socio-‐cultural
level
truth
that
it
can
enable.
Note:
Don’t
stretch
this
truth
too
far
away
from
the
category’s
reality
though.
34. A
poignant
notable
Note:
How
do
some
of
these
brands
do
orchestra=on
over
Equity
Vs
Business
Needs
of
the
brand…
35. While
a
philosophy,
a
belief
system,
a
faith
is
important
for
larger
existen=al
iden=fica=on
and
love,
everyday
needs
cannot
be
fulfilled
by
philosophy.
You
can
pray
to
god,
but
you
do
have
to
=ll
the
soil
to
feed
your
family
and
fill
your
stomach.
36. Just
like
belief
&
life
for
people,
a
brand
needs
to
have
a
larger
belief
&
a
purpose
for
consumers
to
iden=fy
with
it
as
people
and
display
brand
love
beyond
the
transac=onal
rela=onship
of
product
&
consumer.
However,
a
brand
has
business
needs
and
it
needs
to
deliver
on
immediate
everyday
category
benefits
for
the
the
consumer.
37. A
soap
s=ll
has
to
cleanse
&
soen,
a
compu=ng
brand
s=ll
needs
to
talk
about
its
product
features
and
its
immediate
benefits
and
an
airline
has
to
talk
about
service,
indulgence
and
connec=vity…
38. Hence
these
brands
which
have
etched
out
a
larger
purpose
for
themselves,
objec=vely
operate
with
a
duality
of
behaviour….marrying
Brand
belief
&
purpose
with
business
reali=es
&
product
USPs…
41. How
does
Emirates
carry

to

Tomorrow
arrives
only
when

Note:
However
they
have
further
dug-‐back
into
their
brand

and
seem
to
be
transi=oning
towards
“Keep

as
a

of

3. Subtle

4. Tes=monial

and
above
all
pride
in

are
the
values
that
Apple
carries
to

2. It
treats
itself
as
the
8th
wonder
of

and
simply
uses
the
above
opera=onal/behavioural
codes
extracted
from

50. Once

have
lost
