LET’S START BY DISPELLING SOME MYTHS.
![Page 7: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
FIRSTA brand is not a logo.
![Page 8: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SECONDA brand is not an identity.
![Page 10: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

FINALLYA brand is not a product.
![Page 12: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
So what exactly is a brand?
![Page 14: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A BRAND IS A PERSON’S
GUT FEELING ABOUT
A PRODUCT, SERVICE,
OR ORGANIZATION.
![Page 15: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It’s a GUT FEELING because people
are emotional, intuitive beings.
It’s a PERSON’S gut feeling, because brands are defined
by individuals, not companies, markets, or publics.
![Page 16: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In other words…
![Page 17: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY IT IS.
![Page 18: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
IT’S WHAT THEY SAY IT IS.
![Page 19: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
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

THERE ARE 1,349 CAMERAS ON THE MARKET.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH ONE TO BUY?

TRUST

PREDICTION
BRAND WILL BECOME THE MOST POWERFUL
STRATEGIC TOOL SINCE THE SPREADSHEET.
![Page 28: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PROBLEM
In most companies, STRATEGY
is separated from CREATIVITY by a wide gap.
![Page 29: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
On one side of the gap
are STRATEGIC THINKERS
ANALYTICAL
LOGICAL
LINEAR
NUMERICAL
VERBAL
On the other side are
CREATIVE THINKERS
INTUITIVE
EMOTIONAL
SPATIAL
VISUAL
PHYSICAL

DOES THE LEFT BRAIN KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT BRAIN IS DOING?
![Page 31: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
When both sides work together,
you can build a charismatic brand.
![Page 32: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A CHARISMATIC BRAND is any product,service, or organization for whichpeople believe there’s no substitute.

But first,
you have to master the FIVE DISCIPLINES OF BRAND-BUILDING.

DISCIPLINE 1: DIFFERENTIATE
![Page 39: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
FACT:
Our brains act as filters to protectus from too much information.

WE’RE HARDWIRED TO NOTICE ONLY WHAT’S DIFFERENT.

The three most important words in differentiating your brand:
![Page 46: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

IS THIS HOW YOUR CUSTOMERS SEE YOU?
![Page 50: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
THE FOCUS TEST:
Who are you?
What do you do?
Why does it matter?

Unless you have compelling answers to these questions,
you need more focus.
![Page 52: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The most common reason for loss of focusis ILL-CONSIDERED BRAND EXTENSIONS.
![Page 53: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
FOCUSED PORSHE = SPORTS CARS
EXAMPLE:
UNFOCUSED PORSHE = SPORTS CARS + SUVS
![Page 54: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
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.

THE GOOD GRIPS BRAND HAS GROWN STRONGER WITH EVERY BRAND EXTENSION.

DISCIPLINE 2: COLLABORATE

CREATIVITY IS WHAT GIVES BRANDS THEIR TRACTION IN THE MARKETPLACE.

Why do companies have so much trouble with creativity?
Because creativity is right-brained,
and strategy is left-brained.

the brand needs a stand-out name.
To begin with,

A GREAT NAME deserves GREAT GRAPHICS.

An AVATAR is a brand icon thatcan move, change, and operatefreely in various media.

For products that sell at retail,
the package is often the best and last chance to make a sale.

CHEAP-QUICK-DIRTY TEST 1:
The SWAP TEST is a proof for trademarks.
![Page 123: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
If the names and graphics of two trademarks are
better when swapped, then neither is optimal.
![Page 124: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)

CHEAP-QUICK-DIRTY TEST 2:
The HAND TEST is a proof for a distinctive voice.

If you can’t tell who’s talking when the trademark
is covered, then the brand’s voice is not distinctive.
![Page 128: The Brand Gap](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554dd5cfb4c905d10e8b4c28/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)

If your audience can’t verbalize your concept,
you’ve failed to communicate it.
