HOW
To date, iconic brands have been built more on intuitions of ad agency creativities than by purposeful strategies.
This presentation, inspired on the book How Brands Become Icons by Daniel Holt, extracts the common principles behind these intuitions to build a new cultural branding model that dramatically revises core marketing principles including segmentation, targeting, positioning, brand equity, brand loyalty, cobranding, and communications.
Nerverthenless, the presentation explains counterintuitive insights such as:
- how managers’ present-tense view of brands blinds them to lucrative cultural opportunities;- how cultural disruption provide opportunities for new brands and threats to existing brands;- why consistency can be deadly for a brand;- why following trends can never build an iconic brand;- how authenticity is created with communication;- why paying attention to the majority of the brand’s customers can destroy the brand’s value and;- why television advertising trumps Hollywood as a channel for delivering powerful myths.
