READY?

Page 5: Brand Rules

LET’S START BY DISPELLING SOME MYTHS.

Page 6: Brand Rules

FIRST

A brand is not a logo.

Page 7: Brand Rules
Page 8: Brand Rules

SECOND

A brand is not an identity.

Page 9: Brand Rules

X

Page 10: Brand Rules

FINALLY

A brand is not a product.

Page 11: Brand Rules
Page 12: Brand Rules

so what exactly is a brand?

Page 13: Brand Rules

A BRAND IS A PERSON’S

GUT FEELING ABOUT

A PRODUCT, SERVICE,

OR ORGANIZATION.

Page 14: Brand Rules

You buy products based on your

FEELING FOR THE PRODUCT.

You buy services based on your

FEELING TOWARDS THE PROVIDER.

You engage with an organization based on your

FEELING ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION.

Page 15: Brand Rules

It’s a GUT FEELING because peopleare emotional, intuitive beings.

It’s a PERSON’S gut feeling,because brands are defined by individuals,not companies, markets, or the public.

Page 16: Brand Rules

In other words...

Page 17: Brand Rules

IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY IT IS.

Page 18: Brand Rules

IT’S WHAT THEY SAY IT IS.

WHY IS BRANDING SO HOT?

People have too many choices and too little time

Most offerings have similar quality and features

We tend to base our buying choices on trust

THE FOCUS TEST:

What do you do?2

Why does it matter?3

Unless you have compelling answers to

these questions, YOU NEED MORE FOCUS.

The most common reason for loss of focus

is ILL-CONSIDERED BRAND EXTENSIONS.

Page 83: Brand Rules

BAD BRAND EXTENSIONS are those

that chase short-term profits at the

expense of long-term brand value.

GOOD BRAND EXTENSIONS

grow the value of a brand

by reinforcing its focus.

A GREAT NAME deserves GREAT GRAPHICS.

Page 139: Brand Rules

NEWSFLASH!

LOGOS ARE DEAD. LONG LIVE ICONS AND AVATARS!

Page 140: Brand Rules

An ICON is a name and visual symbol

that suggests a market position.

Page 141: Brand Rules

CBS. The network for “eye-popping” television.

EXAMPLE:

Page 142: Brand Rules

An AVATAR is a brand icon that

can move, change, and operate

freely in various media.

Page 143: Brand Rules

CINGULAR: The “self-expression” cellular service.

EXAMPLE:

Page 144: Brand Rules
Page 145: Brand Rules

The hardest-working packages follow

a natural reading sequence.

THE SHOPPER:

Notices the package1

Asks “What is it?”2

Wonders “Why should I care?”3

Wants to be persuaded4

Needs proof5

Page 146: Brand Rules

By presenting information

to match this sequence,

a package can sell the

product more effectively.

Page 147: Brand Rules

If you communicate with your customersONLINE, your website needs to followa SIMILAR reading sequence, one thatsupplies users with ONLY the informationthey need, instead of trying to squeezeEVERYTHING onto the home page

LIKE THIS and making your users do ALL the work, which will undoubtedly cause them to LEAVE, when all you really have to do is ask yourself this SIMPLE QUESTION:

Page 148: Brand Rules

Does our website look

atf in this dress?

Page 149: Brand Rules

Too many websites are bloated with irrelevant information.

Page 150: Brand Rules

WHY?

Page 151: Brand Rules

TURFISMO

(Every department wants to be on the home page)

Page 152: Brand Rules

audience into the creative process.

THE OLD COMMUNICATION MODEL WAS A MONOLOGUE.

QUESTION:

How can you test your most creative ideas

BEFORE they get to market?

Page 166: Brand Rules

HINT:

Not with large

quantitative studies

or focus groups.

Page 167: Brand Rules

QUANTITATIVE STUDIES BURY THE PROBLEM IN HEAPS OF UNHELPFUL DATA.

Page 168: Brand Rules

FOCUS GROUPS WERE INVENTED TO FOCUS

THE RESEARCH, NOT BE THE RESEARCH.

Page 169: Brand Rules

THE SECRET TO AUDIENCE INSIGHT IS UNOBTRUSIVE OBSERVATION.

Page 170: Brand Rules

THE BEST TESTS ARE

AND

QUICK,CHEAP,

DIRTY.

Page 171: Brand Rules

Better a rough answer to the right question

than a detailed answer to the wrong question.

Page 172: Brand Rules

CHEAP-QUICK-DIRTY TEST 1:

The SWAP TEST is a proof for trademarks.

Page 173: Brand Rules

If the names and graphics of two trademarks are

better when swapped, then neither is optimal.

Page 174: Brand Rules

EXISTING TRADEMARKS

Page 175: Brand Rules

WITH NAMES SWAPPED

Page 176: Brand Rules

CHEAP-QUICK-DIRTY TEST 2:

The HAND TEST is a proof for a distinctive voice.

Page 177: Brand Rules

If you can’t tell who’s talking when the trademark is

covered, then the brand’s voice is not distinctive.

Page 178: Brand Rules
Page 179: Brand Rules

CHEAP-QUICK-DIRTY TEST 3:

The FIELD TEST is a proof for any concept

that can be prototyped.

Page 180: Brand Rules

SHOPPERS CHARACTERIZED

THE PACKAGE CONCEPT

ON THE MIDDLE-RIGHT SHELF

AS “A FASTER PENCIL.”

BINGO.

Page 181: Brand Rules

If your audience can’t verbalize your concept,

you’ve failed to communicate it.

Page 182: Brand Rules

Field tests measure five things:

DISTINCTIVENESS1

RELEVANCE2

MEMORABILITY3

EXTENDABILITY4

DEPTH OF MEANING5

Page 183: Brand Rules

TESTING MIGHT HAVE SAVED SOME OF THESE COMPANIES FROM THE GREAT SWOOSH EPIDEMIC.

Page 184: Brand Rules

HAS THE GLOBE BECOME THE NEW SWOOSH?

5CULT IVATE

Page 186: Brand Rules
Page 187: Brand Rules
Page 188: Brand Rules
Page 189: Brand Rules

Business is a process, not an entity.

Page 190: Brand Rules

A living brand is a pattern of behavior,

not a stylistic veneer.

Page 191: Brand Rules

Brands are like people.

Page 192: Brand Rules

IF PEOPLE CAN CHANGE THEIR CLOTHES WITHOUT CHANGING THEIR CHARACTERS…

Page 193: Brand Rules

WHY CAN’T BRANDS?

Page 194: Brand Rules

OLD PARADIGM:

Control the LOOK AND FEEL of a brand.

Page 195: Brand Rules

NEW PARADIGM:

Influence the CHARACTER of a brand.

Page 196: Brand Rules

IF A BRAND LOOKS LIKE A DUCK AND SWIMS

LIKE A DOG, PEOPLE WILL DISTRUST IT.

Page 197: Brand Rules

IT TAKES 20 YEARS TO BUILD A REPUTATION

AND FIVE MINUTES TO LOSE IT.

—Warren Buffett

Page 198: Brand Rules

So let’s say you’ve

COLLABORATED,

AND VALIDATED.

DIFFERENTIATED,
