10. Nor can you respect, adore, admire, worship, revere, appreciate, love, aspire to, advocate, enjoy, want or buy what you don¡¯t know
11. There are many differing schools of thought in marketing, but achieving awareness is an undisputable necessary first step for any brand
12. When someone recognises a brand, their perceptions of that brand are recalled either explicitly (consciously) or implicitly (sub-consciously). The brand¡¯s baggage, good and bad, are instantly present. They will affect how the person then interacts with the brand and the baggage in return will also be updated
14. If brands are based on perception (each person¡¯s own understanding of a brand is all that matters to that person), and recognition plays a key part in shaping perceptions, then recognition is on the front line of brand building
26. Technically... The Hippocampus, Amygdala and Striatum are responsible for our memory. Visual memory belongs to the right temporal lobe. Verbal memory belongs to the left temporal lobe. The hippocampus is essential for the laying down of new memories, but over time some changes are also made in the association regions of the neocortex.* *various sources (please don¡¯t quote us)
27. Practically¡ In the mind a brand or idea can be thought of as a file or vessel name name name name name name name name name name
28. Which holds and references associated perceptions name Associated perceptions name
29. Which holds and references associated perceptions Visual associations Associated sounds, smells, tastes Past associations Associated experiences Associated messages Associated emotions Perceived value
30. Perceptions are dynamic, so the files are constantly updated during people¡¯s lives, both consciously but mostly sub consciously Associated sounds, smells, tastes Visual associations Past associations Associated experiences Associated messages Associated emotions Perceived value
37. + soft drink = Coca-Cola But does soft drink = Coca-Cola
38. Category champion Owning or being synonymous with its category means that every time a category is referred to the brand gets recognition. The category can even be named after the brand
44. If awareness is simply knowing something then recognition is knowing it again
45. If awareness is simply knowing something then recognition is knowing it again and again and again
46. Strengthening associations is like going to gym A mind is a complex store of images, sounds and ideas, all linked. The links, like muscles being exercised, are strengthened by repetition. The more the path of association is used the stronger it gets, making it easier to use in future (not making this up) Funny Tasty Healthy
47. It takes time and effort to create strong brand recognition with few shortcuts and no silver bullet
50. Creating awareness is like opening a new file It¡¯s a handshake, a beginning where something gets brought into existence and given a name and reference point that binds all the relevant associations from there *
52. To make the file instantly usable Give it context and strong meaning right from the start allow the person opening the file to file it under something (and we don¡¯t mean under ¡°bank¡± or ¡°tomato soup¡± but rather ¡°the friendly kind of bank where they will treat me well¡± or ¡°the clinical kind of bank where they give me better financial returns¡±)
57. Brand architecture A monolithic brand architecture allows the same brand to be encountered again and again, building stronger recognition 6 series 3 series 5 series 7 series X 1 X 3 X 5
58. Stickiness helps Sticky brands and communications are the ones that are hard to forget. People love to encounter and share beautifully crafted and presented brands. Funny, relevant and engaging communication drive momentum of interactions and recognition
62. Cross-pollinate Bridge senses, themes and ideas to create rich images of your brand that can be recognised through endless combinations Colour shape + = Portuguese Jingle toy Jingle PC Zebra finance + = Exhaust sound leather Coffee smell + = + = + = + = ?
63. Take a closer smell Smell is said to be the strongest sense for triggering memory. Martin Lindstrom, author of Brand Sense , says that 75% of all the emotions we generate every day are due to what we smell ¨C not see. That¡¯s why estate agents bake vanilla in the oven when trying to sell a house ¨C it makes you feel like you are back in Grandma¡¯s kitchen
64. Repetition Repetition Repetition Repetition Repetition Why do we all know how these stories end: Today, tomorrow¡ The kiss of the saaz¡ Your two year guarantee¡ Let your fingers do the¡ Because we¡¯ve been exposed to them again and again. Repetition can be brutal, but it¡¯s necessary for recognition Repetition Repetition Repetition Repetition Repetition
65. Facilitate indirect communication Be remarkable ¨C literally. If your brand is deemed worthy of the audiences attention they are more likely to share your story. Impartial references get through a lot of the filters that direct communications don¡¯t
68. Bombarded by scams and countless brands looking to cheaply reach the world, people move faster in the digital realm and where you usually get a few seconds to make an impact, online you get less. Its not the best place to meet
69. It¡¯s a good place to answer questions Many people go online in search of information. This is a key opportunity for brands to build deeper brand information and context that lead to better recognition
70. Self propelled communication The internet is a great medium for indirect communication. People talking about your brand builds strong recognition but they don't want to talk about their butter. They share messages and engage when there is value in it for them ¡° Jo, you¡¯ll love this video, its hysterical¡± ¡° I¡¯ve always wondered about this¡± ¡° Check out this deal!!¡±
73. X Moving from implicit to explicit memory from back of mind to being consciously chosen
74. Build enough relevance to reach engagement tipping point Each person will weigh up if your brand offers them enough to be worthy of trial. Your brand must respond to their reality and make itself relevant ¨C see segmentation
75. This is where fuzzy marketing becomes clear business, where someone departs with their hard earned money. Interaction > transaction
76. Once your brand has been trialed, its about delivering on promise and doing it consistently
