Notas del editor
- Talk you through the journey steps we took to build the Oyster brandand I’m going to focus on the unseen parts, the planning, thinking and researchWhat goes into brand project before the logos are even sketched, in fact I will cover brand building you can do without touching graphics.Shaping employees for the brandMy aim is to translate the vague and ambiguous language of brand and branding into something you guys can actually use, the practical steps, I hope you can start planning next week.
- Trying to persuade sales people to build a brand has been a challenge.
- Brand is important to recruitment agencies, bull horn research
- Research from the world’s leading management consultancy into financial value of a strong brand
- The market is turning but we’ll all suffer increased competition, not just other agents but substitutes liked LinkedIn and in-house teamsNeed to stand out, for the right reasons, cut through the noiseAgain Bullhorn research suggests more competition main concern in 2014
- Touch of neuroscience – always be skeptical if anyone claims based on neuroscienceAwareness, creates images, you build associations with those images (eg recruitment consultant) they are stored as memories, those have emotions attached if make feel good links to actionsIf you do get this right, positive image you’ll slowly build brand reputation across your market – the greatest gift you can achieve.Things people look for: momentum, see brand going somewhere, clarity and distinctiveness, match their own valuesThe simplest answer is that a brand is a set of associations that a person (or group of people) makes with a company, service. These associations may be intentional – that is, they may be actively promoted via marketing and corporate identity, for example – or they may be outside the company’s control. For example, a poor press review for a new product might ‘harm’ the product manufacturer’s overall brand by placing negative associations in people’s minds. Effective branding elevates a company from being just one commodity amongst many identical commodities, to become something with a unique character and promise. It can create an emotional resonance in the minds of clients who choose products and services using both emotional and pragmatic judgements. Whilst most companies and organisations are providing a service of one type or another, for some businesses customer service is the dominant part of the offer. For these companies particular attention needs to be paid to how the brand (the big idea and all its components) are reflected in the way the service is provided and the way staff interact with customers. As in consumer products, B2B companies need to use branding to differentiate, stand-out and create a distinct personality, even if that personality is more corporate and business-like in its tone. The prize for getting this right is a strong brand in the market-place.
- Brand building, good brand building starts with digging – need to find the truth, the core, the – about the business and the market.
- First establish what’s important to a clientsThen measure your performance against the same criteria – do you score well where it counts?Blend of structured Quantitative questioning with qualitative conversations, some gemsComment: What can brand do for you – make it clearer the relations they have with clients, nowhere does it show how many and level of relationsConversation with candidates uncovered Oyster had much better relations with senior hiring folk than was made clear on website etc.
