Your Brand’s Genetic Codeevery great brand has substance. a brand’s DNA is timeless. a
brand’s blue print is a unique set of values that originally defined them. Great brands can remain relevant through creativity.
Who Are You?all great brands have human attributes. a brand is the sum of the good, the bad, and the ugly.
your brand’s DNA is not strictly about the product, service, the past or even about research -- its about tapping in to an essence or story that
defines who you are to the people that matter most, your core customers.
What Do You Stand For?
take a stand and be clear. decide early and stay true to that mission.
Your Brand’s MANTRAman⋅tra –noun Hinduism. a word or formula, as from the Veda, chanted or sung as an
incantation or prayer. In the Indian religions, a mantra is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that are considered capable of "creating transformation”
in branding, a mantra is capturing the irrefutable essence of spirit of a brand’s positioning. a brand mantra is not
slogan, tag-line or even a campaign idea. It is the touchstones expressed in marketing short-hand.
What Does Your Brand Look Like?

Own Your Emotion
don’t tell me how to feel.
just make me feel something!

EMOTIONAL PATH THROUGH PURCHASE
emotionally driven brands need to be visionary, integrated, visceral and reflective of a true commitment to the personal values of its core consumers. value is not built through price
alone.

Emotive Brandsno company can create a new emotion - but many combine emotions.
What’s Your Story?everyone & everything has one. there are only 12 to speak of.
if you buy in to Carl Gustav Jung's theories there are 12 core "archetypes". They are universal, mythic characters reside within the collective unconscious of people the
world over. Archetypal images represent fundamental human desires and evoke deep emotions. The 12 archetypes symbolizes a basic human need, aspiration or
motivation.

Brand Stewardshipgreat brands have great leadership at the top and in the trenches. it’s everyone’s job. marketers are the yin(the left brain). a good agency is the yang (the right brain). the left and right brain thinking within a company will
profoundly influence what kind of brand it builds.
Who Are Your “Friends”?
friends, associations and partnerships help define who your are to others. Your connections are your path to a larger audience.

Building Brand Advocates
people who buy your products and their stories, conversations, recommendations and perceptions are the most powerful branding tools.
remember we are product marketers. consumers are the real brand managers.
