  2. 2. FACT: Business is speeding up.
  3. 3. 1965: Gordon Moore said the number of computer chips would double each year, and the cost of each chip would decrease while its speed would increase. Today: More financial transactions in one day than all of 1965.

  17. 17. FIRST A brand is not a logo.
  18. 18. Many people confuse logos or corporate identity with branding.
  19. 19. SECOND A brand is not an identity.
  20. 20. X Branding isn’t governed by identity manuals.
  21. 21. FINALLY A brand is not a product.
  22. 22. Some people refer to products as brands, but they’re just vehicles.
  23. 23. A BRAND IS A PERSON’S GUT FEELING ABOUT A PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR ORGANIZATION. Simply put, a brand is a person’s gut feeling about a product, service, or organization. It’s a GUT FEELING, because people are intuitive, not logical. It’s a PERSON’S gut feeling, because a brand is owned by people, not companies.
  24. 24. In other words...

  40. 40. is why your company is in business beyond making money. CORE PURPOSE First, you have to clarify what business you’re in—your core purpose: why you do what you do beyond making money. It’s your reason for being, not selling.
  41. 41. are ideas, gestures, activities, or experiences that embody your purpose and change behavior. BRAND ACTS But you also have to define your brand acts: all the ways your purpose is expressed. The ways in which it comes to life in an organization.
  42. 42. PURPOSE + ACTS = BRAND SUCCESS The combination of purpose and acts is integral to brand success because it defines how a company expresses itself.
  43. 43. HAS PURPOSE LACKS ACTS HAS ACTS LACKS PURPOSE If we were to chart purpose and acts on an axis, here’s what a familiar reference might look like.
  44. 44. What’s their purpose? What are their acts? Now let’s apply that same thinking to a few consumer brands

  48. 48. Why is it important to clarify these expressions? Because the realty is, a company has a reputation whether it actively tries to shape it or not.
  49. 49. IS THIS HOW YOUR CUSTOMERS SEE YOU? And the last thing you want is for your customers not to be clear about what your brand means. The good news is that any brand can be purposeful. The more you try and focus the meaning of your brand in customers’ minds—developing specific brand acts—the more mindshare you can occupy. What’s the best way to be memorable?
  50. 50. REALLY BE DIFFERENT. NO, DIFFERENT. Be different. REALLY DIFFERENT. In today’s super-fast, super-cluttered marketplace, you need more than differentiation. You need RADICAL differentiation. Acts that stand out—above the clutter.
