and proud to talk about it !
Need for ReassuranceWhen we have been let
downWhen our lives lack
certaintyWhen our leaders lack
credibility
We turn to brands that are confident & constant
Enduring Appeal of Authenticity
The need for the Spectacular
The monetary value &
distinctivity of global publicity
justifies it
Saying Things Differently
Turning an argument on its head
Attacking from another angle
Seducing the audience and engaging them
Signing Off
The only modern day certainty is change.
The pace of change is accelerating and ability to embrace change is too.
Consumer 2.0 can be hard to read but also quick to act. Need to watch, observe, listen and ask.
We may need to reframe an argument to hit the consumers soft spot.
Many brands and companies are looking at more spectacular and revolutionary approaches to prompt reappraisal
