The Brand Called You
Blue Cube Marketing Solutions
• You do not own your brand
• Perception is reality!
Tom Peters on Branding• Branding is so bloody obvious. When one has
an “identity: . . . . life gets a lot simpler.
• Branding is simple. Branding is impossible.
• “Success means never letting the competition define you. Instead, you have to define yourself based on a point of view you care deeply about.”

Tom Peters on Branding
• “A brand reaches out with a powerful connecting experience. It’s an emotional connection point that transcends the product. … A great brand is a story that’s never completely told.”
• Branding is ultimately about nothing more (and nothing less) than heart. It’s about passion---what’s inside you, what’s inside your company.

Case for Community Engagement• 88% of Americans believe during an economic downturn and period of tighter consumer spending, it is important for companies to continue supporting causes - up from 81% in March 2001
• 81% of Americans say that they are likely to switch brands when price and quality are equal to support a cause - up from 51% prior to September 11.
• Nearly nine in ten, 86%, agree that companies should tell them the ways in which they are supporting social issues. Highlighting American’s deep mistrust of companies today, however, an overwhelming majority say they prefer to find out about corporate activities from a third-party source, particularly the media.
