Management Branding theories

Brand stands for…?
Brand
• Burning marks onto products
• More than a name or logo now
• People start to recognize the way in which consumers were developing relationships with their brands in a social, psychological, anthropological sense.
• A noun vs. a verb
From 4P to branding
• 4P - Product, price, place, promotion
• Marketers should consider how these tangible aspects of production and service delivery translate into the long term asset of intangible brand value.
• Speaking of “intangible”, think of different ad theories, and Maslow’s hierarchy.
Branding & Advertising
• Long term vs. Short term
• Strategy vs. Creative implementation
• Core values vs. Incarnation of values
Branding
• Process: Adding layers of meaning on a product or a series of products.
• product/brand – (association) – meanings
• Consequence: Products reflects the essence of brand promise or brand vision.
Orange is Not Orange Think in terms of Maslow’s pyramid
Diamond is Not Diamond
Think in terms of Maslow’s pyramid
Mouse is Not Mouse
What kind of Meaning?
• Adding layers of meaning on a product or a series of products . • Meanings that:
• Well summarize the spirit of your product.
• Are at an abstract level.
• Could touch your audience’s heart.
• Leave room for imagination.
Brand slogan examples
• Acura: The True Definition of Luxury. Yours.
• American Airlines: Fly the American way
• American Telephone & Telegraph: Reach out and touch someone
• Apple: Think different
• Budweiser Beer: Where there's life, there's Bud
• Esso: Put a Tiger in Your Tank
• Honda Civic: Better gas mileage. A Civic responsibility
• Kentucky Fried Chicken: Buy a bucket of chicken and have a barrel of fun
• Martini: The right one. Any time, any place, any where
Brand Identity
• A person’s identity?
• How do I dress? How do I speak? What are my core values? What do I stand for? How do I want to be perceived? What personality traits do I want to project? What are the important relationships in my life? e.g., WASP, Hippe, Yuppie, etc.
• A brand identity provides direction, purpose and meaning for the brand.
• Heart and soul of the brand.
• “Brand identity is a unique set of brand associations that the brand strategist aspires to create or maintain. These associations represent what the brand stands for and imply a promise to customers from the organization members.” –David A. Aaker
Brand Identity
• A classic example in the history of marketing and advertising:
• Phillip Morris, 1924, slogan “Mild as May”
• 1950s, scientists link smoking to lung cancer
• Repositioning: used images of sea captains, weightlifters, war correspondents, construction workers and cowboy…
• “man always remember love because of romance only”
• ultimate American cowboy, masculine, macho, rough-and-tumble
• In 1972, Marlboro became the No. 1 tobacco brand in the world.
General Principles of Branding
• A key to developing a strong brand identity is to broaden the brand concept to include other dimensions and perspectives with consistency.
• Four identity perspectives • Brand as a product -- lower levels of needs
• Brand as organization -- intermediate levels of needs
• Brand as person: brand personality – higher levels of needs
• The brand as symbol – higher levels of needs
Brand as Product
• Association with product related attributes • Quality/value: many brands use quality as a core identity element
• Gillette – “the best man can get” • Starbucks’ brand identity is based on its reputation for providing the finest coffee in
the world with integrity.
• Associations with use occasion • Some brands successfully attempt to own a particular use or application,
forcing competitors to work around this reality • Gatorade, owns the use context of athletes looking to sustain a high level of
performance.
• Association with users • Another tack is to position a brand by a type of user • Harley Davison – believers in freedom, ruggedness, rebellion • Wrangler Jeans – tough, rebellion
Brand as Organization
• The brand as organization perspective focuses on attributes of the organization rather than those of the product or service.
• Such organizational attributes as innovation, a drive for quality, and concern for the environment are created by the people, culture, values, and programs of the company.
• Corporate image commercial • Cisco – connecting the world
• Toyota – silence, movement, simplicity
Brand as Organization
• It is much easier to copy a product than to duplicate an organization with unique people, values, and programs.
• Organizational attributes usually apply to a set of product classes, and a competitor in only one product class may find it difficult to compete.
• Associations such as customer focus, environmental concern, technological commitment, or a local orientation can involve emotional and self-expressive benefits based on admiration, respect, or simple liking.
Brand as Person
• Like a person, a brand can be perceived as being upscale, competent, impressive, trustworthy, fun, active, humorous, casual, formal, youthful, or intellectual.
• A brand personality can help create a self-expressive benefit that becomes a vehicle for the customer to express his or her own personality.
• Just as human personalities affect relationships between people, brand personality can be the basis of a relationship between the customer and the brand • Apple user: casual, anti-corporate, and creative. • Dell computer: a professional who helps with the tough jobs; • Mercedes-Benz: upscale, admired person; • Hallmark: a warm, emotional relative. Product
User
Brand as Person
• A brand personality may help communicate a product attribute thus contribute to a functional benefit.
• Mascot: the Michelin man’s strong, energetic personality suggests that Michelin tires are also strong and energetic
Branding: Myth Construction
• Compare brand with religion
• Lower level: functions of products vs. church or Bible (visible)
• Mid level: feelings of satisfaction through consumption vs. satisfaction derived from Sunday worship activities (invisible)
• Higher level: identity expression vs. seeking meanings of life (invisible, ontological, and teleological)
THREE Take-away Messages
• Consumer understanding
• Extension of meaning
• Coherence implementation
The WORD to remember
• COHERENCE • Feature – Benefit – value/identity – image coherence
• Coherence across different products under the same brand
• Coherence between your product/service identity and potential consumer’s identity
• Coherence across TIME … i.e., consistency
Chang your image first

Shoulders)

• shining hair (function) – lower level
• shining life (self actualization)– higher level
• Consistency?
• Extension of meanings from lower level to higher level

Insight(洞察)是什么?
Facts 现象
Understanding 了解
Insight 洞悉
真相
Consumer Behavior
Human Truth
The truth is more important
than the facts
-Frank Lloyd Wright (1868-1959)
请问年轻人为何不烹调?
• 他们没空做家事 • 他们不喜欢煮饭 • 他们不知道如何做菜 • 他们被宠坏了 • 他们担心害怕
Insight是心理层次,不是行为表现
请问:当你老时,你开始在乎你的健康,因为…
• 你觉悟到你快到生命的尽头,你应该珍惜
• 你知道如果严重生病,你可能负担不起昂贵的医疗费
• 你反正已经没有其他更重要的事要如此关切
• 你怕失去独立自主的能力
Insight 是感性共鸣,不是理性判断
请问:女性为何偏好较大油箱的汽车? 因为…
• 她可以无虑地行驶
• 加油站可不是她喜欢的购物场所
• 减少加油次数,可以省时做其他更有意义的事
• 大油箱让她在危险四伏的路上更有安全感
Insight是一种剖析,不是一项描述
大油箱讓她在危險四伏的路上更有安全感

“ Starbucks could very well operate without even selling coffee.
They could charge an entrance fee and offer nothing else but a room
and mellow Bob Marley music softly playing in the background,
and people would still come.
Devin Page, Customer
