DESCRIPTION
Kestrel Lee's Creative Morning topic was about how individuals can use emotion design to create social currency around brands, products and even creative professionals. This thinking is designed to simulate deeper emotional engagement and social interactions between the target audience and even the most ordinary object. It can even be used to provide the stimulus for a social and technology movement that betters society like Earth Hour: http://www.creativemornings.com/cmsingapore.eventbrite.com

SOCIAL CURRENCY IS ABOUT WHAT WE DO OR SAY ONLINE
AND HOW PEOPLE FEEL OR ACT TOWARDS IT
WHAT IS SOCIAL CURRENCY?
Social currency: Inspired by Pierre Bourdieu’s social capital theory, it is about increasing one’s sense of
community, granting access to information and knowledge, helping to form one’s identity, and providing status and recognition. It is about creating the necessary purpose,
emotion and even identity that can drive people’s behavior, their sense of community and even sense of self-worth.
Let’s see if we can apply it to our sense of self worth.
WHAT’S OUR CURRENCY AS SINGAPOREANS
Singapore needs 6.9 million people by 2030?
Because we are too picky about jobs?
Or less talented than foreign imports?
Are we just a faceless statistic to our government?
WHAT’S OUR CURRENCY AS SINGAPOREANS
One Singaporean worker costs as much as
3 … in Malaysia
8 … in Thailand
13 … in China
18 … in India.”

WHAT’S OUR CURRENCY AS SINGAPOREANS
MEDIOCRITY: 'Can do' good enough for mostStraits Times, 13th Feb 2001
ARE Singaporeans at large of a middling quality, just muddling on blithely with life? Sadly, yes. Most of the people polled yesterday agreed that standards here
are not glaringly good or bad, but, well, okay, acceptable or just insipidly second-rate...
WHAT’S OUR CURRENCY AS SINGAPOREANS
We are not good enough.
We are not cheap enough.
That’s why we need more foreign talent & labor?
WHAT’S OUR CURRENCY AS SINGAPOREANS
From cost-fixation to value-driven?
DO WE COMPETE WITH WAL*MART ON PRICE OR CHINA ON COST?

And how it applies to individuals and professionals
How brands create social currency via emotion design
Once a product is
known for being
reliable, functional
and usable,
what’s next?
EMOTION DESIGN CREATES SOCIAL CURRENCY TO OVER-ADVERTISED BRANDS OR PRODUCTS
Brands need to inject or create social/emotional relevance into such
experiences to create brand advocates and drive word-of-mouth.
“… emotional campaigns are almost twice as likely to generate large profit gains than rational ones, with campaigns that use facts as well as emotions in equal measure fall somewhere between the two….
UNDERSTANDING EMOTIONAL DESIGN
“Wieden & Kennedy London's campaign for Honda from 2002 to 2004 helped transform the profitability of the U.K. business. The most important TV commercial in the campaign, "Cogs," showed parts of the car interacting in a cleverly choreographed domino-effect sequence.It proved so intriguing to consumers that the commercial was downloaded 2.3 million times from the website and generated huge amounts of online buzz. More important, it generated 390 million in �extra revenue through a combination of a 28% volume uplift and a significant improvement in showroom sales prices: Dealers found they did not need to discount Honda vehicles so heavily to sell them.”
UNDERSTANDING EMOTIONAL DESIGN
Consulting company Vivaldi Partners defined social currency as the extent to which people share the brand or information about the brand as part of their everyday social lives at work or at home. This sharing helps companies to create unique brand identities and earn permission to interact with consumers or customers.
UNDERSTANDING EMOTION DESIGN
Creating social currency moves social initiatives and campaigns beyond marketing and PR to changing entire industries and categories. Consumers and customers will benefit as well as they increasingly participate in social platforms, and use social technologies.

People want to make a positive difference but often feel that anything they do as individuals won’t matter. When hundreds of millions of individuals band together, their action can inspire real change.

Understanding emotion design: Basic principle
Brands and people need to stand for
something or they mean nothing online.
“…Owning a Prius was an expression of political identity, a way to signal a
deeply held belief and a profoundly social act. The quiet satisfaction of
being environmentally responsible isn't enough for most of us. We want the
world to know we're doing it, and our actions to feel like they're part of a
bigger, coordinated movement...”

EMOTION DESIGN AT WORK FOR INDIVIDUALS
Apple’s Retail Army, Long on Loyalty but Short on Pay“Enriching people’s lives.”: The idea is to instill in employees the notion that they are doing something far
grander than just selling or fixing products. If there is a secret to Apple’s sauce, this is it: the company
ennobles employees. It understands that people will forgo money if they have a sense of higher purpose.
