what is an insight?


an insight is not a single revelation

let’s start with what it is not:


an insight is a chain of events


volcanic eruption


insight = OUAOUAOUAOUA


OOOObservation

a truth about how things are

↓

the truth can come from research or own experience

regarding peoples beliefs, values, attitudes or behavior

↓

what they think, feel, or do in connection to a product/service,

a brand, a category or in life where it is relevant


UUUUnderstanding

a new realization or meaning within the brand context

↓

stimulated by the observation

↓

understanding something which we did not understand before

seeing something in a whole new light

understanding something has a new role in peoples lives

‘untaking’ something for granted


AAAArticulation

of a new perspective about the brand

↓

based on the understanding stimulated by the observation

↓

a new story to tell


what was the OUA chain leading to the Snickers message?


1. new observation / truth

have you noticed that… when you get really hungry

you become restless and angry?

the Snickers case


2. new understanding / meaningwithin the brand context

hunger has (and therefore Snickers has) psychological and

emotional consequences that effect the way we behave

the Snickers case


3. articulation of a new perspectiveabout the brand

by helping you overcome hunger, Snickers helps you stay youSnickers helps you stay youSnickers helps you stay youSnickers helps you stay you

= emotional crowdfunding

crowdfunding: what is it about?


emotional crowdfunding can be very impactful for all brands

of all sizes


emotionally connected → emotionally involved → emotionally invested

mutual effort to help this succeed ← physically involved ← partnership

↓

emotional crowdfunding:


� identify an observation based on a meaningful truthmeaningful truthmeaningful truthmeaningful truth:

where do people express frustration, discomfort, tension, incompetence, etc.?

� pursue an new understanding and then articulate a new perspective about the brand:

which helps solve, helps helps solve, helps helps solve, helps helps solve, helps overcome or overcome or overcome or overcome or even simply gives a stage even simply gives a stage even simply gives a stage even simply gives a stage to an issue which is

meaningful yet invisible, thereby generating emotional investmentemotional investmentemotional investmentemotional investment

OUA & attracting emotional investment


1. new observation / truth

have you noticed that… behind every great athlete there are parents

which have worked just as hard as him so that he/she would succeed?

the P&G case


2. new understanding / meaningwithin the brand context

in contrast to the athlete’s investment, the huge investment by their moms

(which are our TA) is usually unnoticed or less appreciated.

they don’t get the credit they deserve.

the P&G case


3. articulation of a new perspectiveabout the brand

as a brand which understands moms and their needs thereby helping

them become heroes in everyday life, we should also help them get

recognized for it.

pattern of thinking?


Search for a ConflictSearch for a ConflictSearch for a ConflictSearch for a Conflict


� when people experience conflicts, they experience tension, frustration, discomfort,

guilt, ‘‘‘‘inner dramainner dramainner dramainner drama’’’’, so they search for something or someone that might help them

� therefore, identifying conflicts can lead to the creation of a brand idea which is

relevant and meaningful to people and their lives

� inspires an idea which ignites emotional investment

search for conflicts

pattern of thinking?


Fight for a CauseFight for a CauseFight for a CauseFight for a Cause


“any idea or goal with a common objective

which leads people to action

in order to change or to obtain it”

definition of a “cause”


create a cause which embodies the brand idea/message and was not there before,

relevant to the TA’s lives,

then launch a campaign in which the brand presents the cause and brings it to life

supplying initial platforms for people to engage with the cause, act upon it

and even make it their own

investment


Observation: Millennial’s technological world is programmed to

eliminate physical contact

Understanding: the thing youths desire the most is the thing which

is hardest for them to obtain

Articulation: Doritos as a brand which represents “togetherness” is

bringing slow dancing back into playlists so that physical contact can

be obtained without difficulty

OUA


Observation: the most beautiful things about a person are said to

him when…. he has passed away

Understanding: they are spoken when it’s too late, when they

cannot be heard and appreciated

Articulation: Dela as a funeral insurance brand which believes in

being there for each other when we are alive, is encouraging

people to show affection and appreciation to someone they love

today, before it’s too late

OUA


Observation: Romanian’s national self esteem is not as high as it

used to be, however their patriotism rises whenever their national

identity is snubbed

Understanding: Google predictions reflect a negative outlook on

Romanians, which does not represent the truth

Articulation: ROM which acts as a beacon of patriotism in Romania,

is changing the perceptions of Romanians on Google (and around

the world)

OUA


• can be humoristic

• can be controversial

• can be fictional

• cannot be a problem everyone is talking about

• represents the brand idea/message

Fight for a Cause ≠ Cause Related Marketing


that’s why you can (actually must)…


a great tool for revealing impactful insights

thinking about a cause provides a mental lens which helps us identify specific observationsmental lens which helps us identify specific observationsmental lens which helps us identify specific observationsmental lens which helps us identify specific observations

about consumers, their needs, their difficulties and the brand’s role in life

↓

where do they feel tension, frustration, discomfort, ‘inner drama’, not only in regard to conflicts?

↓

a new meaningful, engaging perspective about the brand
