The last decade has seen unprecedented change in the branding landscape - none moreso than the emergence and spectacular growth of digital brands – and these changes have been observed, tracked and measured by BrandZ.
Brands such as Google, Facebook, Trendyol and Lidyana have become embedded in the lives of billions and created a global industry based on IP, customer data and the unparalleled ability to tailor information to create astonishingly strong bonds with consumers.
This, in turn, has caused corporations with more traditional and established business models to reassess how they communicate and interact with and serve their consumers – from FMCG and service industries to luxury and B2B.
The presentation will draw on examples of best practice from Turkey and around the world in order to demonstrate key learnings for all brand owners.

created new markets that carry
opportunities as well as threats for well
established players…
• … but this is nothing new
• However, banks are pressing ahead with
digital plans not only to win customers
from their immediate rivals…
• … but also with an eye to the potential
threat from Apple, Google and other tech
giants.

Disruption of digital
An imminent launch in the UK b2c market:
• Fair and transparent, that acts in the best interest of its customers
• Technology that makes life easier and puts you in control
• A bank that is run for the benefit of its customers rather than for itself
SME-focused challenger bank :
• Traditional banks failing to increase lending to SMEs
• There is growth - but it’s all going to internet banks
• Similar mindset

The Future?
Most categories are not
fundamentally disrupted
Most categories that are
disrupted continue to deliver the
same products and services
Digital companies are there for
the benefit of the consumer
Digital results in a far more
customer-centric business model
But they may be disintermediated
But they are accessed in a new way
Not the benefit of the provider
This is an existential challenge for
businesses that do not want to
change
