RE - Branding

Welcome to the RE podcast we are the hosts Steven Rick and Tim Elliott

In this episode, we talk about Branding

Branding is often associated with a logo or colours e.g. the aesthetics and the style. This is wrong!

People often have this definition of a brand because this is the base that marketers use to market a company's product. So in this episode, we reinvent the image of what a brand actually means so we can focus on those parts while creating a brand.

A Brand are the pieces that connect people to the company, like when we connect to a person. We connect with them for their character. Brand is the face that we identify with.

BX > EX > CX - Brand experience before employee experience before customer experience

Key points:

  1. Ratings need to be correct because humans like the middle. It’s a safe ground and that's what most people want to answer safety.
  2. Most people associate the word brand with the logo the colours it’s because it’s the marketer’s definition of what a brand is and not the actual meaning of a brand.
  3. Brand is the things that connect people to the company, like when we connect to a person. We connect with them for their character.
  4. There is a category and then there is also an umbrella factor-like every black drink we see we call it Coca-Cola that's why under the umbrella of soft drinks it is the king. Similarly under hard alcohol, many would associate whisky to Jack Daniels.
  5. Coca-Cola brand unpicking
  6. When the customer looses trust in the company it is very difficult to get them back
  7. The brand should be able to drive your employees internally
  8. Gen z and millennials want to work for companies that have a purpose and brand value and want to go with brands that resonate with people.
  9. How did you treat your staff during COVID 19- the most asked questions by new joining people after COVID

This is where we come to Rethink, Reframe and Remark on all things marketing and inspire that use our marketing superpowers for good.
Hello, we are Steven Rick and Tim Elliott and we are the hosts of 'The Re of Marketing podcast'.

Join us as we guide you through a series of conversations, debates, interviews and points of view all with the aim of getting you to rethink the work of marketing.

In this podcast we delve into the world of marketing, it's pro’s, it’s cons, the good and the bad and we look at how we marketers could be and should be using our creative superpowers for the good of people and the good of our planet.

We believe marketers, as people of influence, as people who have a voice or amplify others have a responsibility to put the right stories and messages into the world.

"The stories we tell can change the world but they can't do it alone"!
Here is a little bit more about us.
