+Let’s debrand some branding myths
+A BRAND is not a logo…
Leci n’est pas une brand
+A BRAND is not a slogan…
+A BRAND is not an identity…
+And finally, a BRAND is not a product…
+So, what exactly is a brand?
A brand is the trust consumers put in you, your chapter, your agency or company’s experience
A brand is how someone feels about you or your product/service…NOT how they think about it

Ten Commandments of Creating the Conditions for LoyaltyThou shall connect with people
Share of heart over share of mind
Thou shall only create experiencesProducts fulfill rational needs, experiences fulfill desires
Thou shall lead with context over content
Content with context is often misunderstood and devalued
Thou shall abandon satisfaction and evolve to an exceptional experience
Satisfaction is the floor, not the ceiling
Thou shall aspire to be trusted Being known doesn’t mean that you are
also loved
+ Ten Commandments of Emotional Branding
Thou shall move from identity to protagonist
Identity is rational. Protagonist is about character and your higher purpose
Thou shall evolve from function to feelThe functionality of a product is about
practical or superficial qualities…feel is about a trusted experience
Thou shall not sell to the sell…create the conditions for the buy
Create the pull…push is yesterday
Though shall only communicate OIVSIOConsumer behavior results from listening vs. Hearing
From services to relationshipService is selling. Relationship is
acknowledgement of loyalty

Some closing words on trust
Be accountable—Life’s two realities. Choice and principles.
Nothing replaces integrity—The time is always right, to do what is right
Consistent reliability—The reliability of the people giving you the facts are as important as the facts themselves
Speak truth to power
Let go and achieve intimacy—It is not time or opportunity that determines trust. Seven years would be insufficient for some people to know each other…others, seven hours would be enough
+So, at the end of the day…what do we take away today?
Trust changes everything…why?
because it’s the only thing that means everything!”
+ If you want loyalty
Think..Act..Create TRUST
