4. Drivers
1. Segments
2. Attitudes
3. Beliefs
4. Values
5. Behaviors
Facilitate and ask every question. Receive all existing knowledge and
documentation that the client has about their product, similar
competitors, brands they love in their category globally or locally. Capture
each and every bit of current knowledge, ideas, thoughts and brand
requirements from the client: business, intellectually and emotionally.
BRAND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
IN-DEPTH CATEGORY RESEARCH GLOBALLY & LOCALLY
INTEGRATE GLOBAL THINKING WITH LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Conceptually evaluate global concepts vs. what we would like to achieve
locally in the Polish market. Branding needs to address the needs and
desires of what is possible with our target market in Poland.
1. Cost
2. Focus
3. Differentiation
Brand positionings, symbolic associations, marketing strategies, product attributes,
advertising claims, logos, etc., we will fully understand all competitive products and all
smart thinking to-date globally. Also we will look globally and locally at any products
or services that are "close" to the client offer, for possible further strategic inspiration.
We THEN become true partners with our client, as we will fully know
the category, products and overall market.
Branding is about people’s emotions. Feelings. You can’t possibly begin to utilize a brand
if you don’t understand its underlying emotional associations.
We shift the conversation away from left-brained business/technology/insurance concerns
and into the emotional, right-brained world of consumer perceptions and feelings.
