Branding on the ragged edge with Max Ottignon

Lee Rolston

In this episode I talk with Lee Rolston, chief growth officer at JKR about their recent study on brand assets with Ipsos.  “The first job of branding is to make sure your brand is recognized as uniquely and unmistakably you. Only then can brand awareness, image, consideration, preference, penetration, frequency and all conversion to purchase measures, flow. With only 15% of all brand assets tested in our report measuring as truly distinctive, it is not an exaggeration to say that the marketing industry is facing a crisis of identity. With more content and tech-enabled means of brands being distributed and targeted, there are more opportunities than ever to connect with audiences in exciting, dynamic and purchase-able ways. However, as the landscape continues to expand, we must ensure that brand assets are consistently and accurately being attributed to the correct brand to truly Be Distinctive Everywhere,” said Lee Rolston, Chief Growth Officer, JKR. Important links* You can find the full study here* Jones Knowles Ritchie* The Youtube version of this podcast hereThe brand audit templateAs a brand strategist, I’ve often noticed that a brand audit is one of the most overlooked and valuable services for a brand.

Stef Hamerlinck

In this solo episode, I walk you through some of the biggest mistakes I've made or see other people make in brand strategy. How can we spot them, avoid them and create a better, more actionable brand strategy? Have fun! Here they are: Fluff: the words in the strategy are so 'floaty' that it's hard to see what you mean. Usually a lot of 'human-centered', authentic storytelling. A lot of 'purpose' driven brands are also bsMagical unicorn thinking: because of our unique story, people will come.Unrealistic: in strategy, finding the balance between 'challenging' the client and creating something that's possible for the company is hard.A lot of strategy looks amazing on paper or in a deck, but is not possible in real life. Recognizing the internal and external restrections of a company are crucial to developing a strategNot actionable: strategy should inspire action,it should be a platform, a guiding policy for change, so go through your deck, do you see obvious areas to improve, are their steps we can take?A lot of people confuse writing a vision statement with strategy, that's not enough, how will we get there?What hurdles do we need to cross?Not validated: most of strategy is based on assumptions, actually a lot of times, your clients will have gotten where they are by assumping certain things. A startup is bascially an assumption. Yet strategy is about 'diagnose', about researching.Triangulating your data sources is key.Have a source listNot aligned: in a lot of cases, a few people are 'on board' and other people aren't, don't just let them out of the process because your clients think there will be friction, embrace that frictionpull all the stakeholders in, also the conservetaive onesa strategy will only be put in action if all objection are adressed, don't think one person will do it for you when you're goneNo clear challenge defined: just creating strategy for strategy's sake is not the right approach.Everyone needs a brand strategy: sure, but why are we adressing this now? At what stage is the company at? Why are we using an external agency? All of these things might hint at a clearer challengeif the answers are: it doesn't have to be now, it's not really that important then maybe it's not the time, because they don't actually want change, if things are going the way they should, you shouldn't be creating strategy just because you cantry to write a strategy outline: the problem - the approach - the challenges - weakness &amp; strengths - opportunities &amp; threatsof course this might change troughout the strategy, it's a starting hypothesis, like a scientist starting out with a belief about the world, the data and insights will either confirm, alter or deny the hypothesisThank you so much for listening.

Stef Hamerlinck - How to learn brand strategy

Here's the definition: Branding is the deliberate, continuous process of developing observable, distinctive, assets associated with a product or service.A mouthful, let's break that down:Deliberate: You might 'have' a brand whether you like it or not, but the act of 'branding' is intentional. It's a conscious effort to create a brand.Continuous: Branding is not a one-time effort. It's a constant act of refreshing, fine-tuning, and creation, based on consumers perception of the brand.Process: Branding doesn't happen 'randomly'. It's a process with well defined stages, building on a validated strategy process that enables a creative output.Developing: Branding is not just about 'creating' new assets. It's a deliberate choice of investing in certain assets and downgrading others.Observable: Branding is the translation between brand strategy and the actual touchpoints consumers see. Things like 'positioning' or business goals are not directly noticeable at a brand level. Sound, graphics, messages, photography, tone of voice, motion. They are all assets that are part of a brand's observable surface.Distinctive: To be distinct means to be able to recognize easily. It means not being confused with competitors. It means being recognized as your company. Not to be confused with being different.Assets: An asset is a resource for a company. Branding is about developing assets that have a clear return on investment. They are not just 'creative ideas'; they are quantifiable assets on a companies balance sheet.Associated: Association works on different levels. Branding needs to work unconsciously and consciously. On the first, most crucial level, a brand needs to send the right signals for our autopilot to pick up on.If you liked this episode, I would really appreciate a rating on Itunes.
