What is a brand?

The Combine • April 7, 2016 • Branding Bootcamp

"…in the truest sense, the synonym for brand is ‘reputation.’ It’s the power of a blend of ideas, a sense of identity, and it helps consumers make decisions in a crowded marketplace."

— Robert Friedman, fearlessbranding.com

Pre-branding worksheet

The Combine • April 7, 2016 • Branding Bootcamp

Pre-Branding WorksheetThe purpose of this "quiz" is to gauge and document your current branding and marketing situation, and give us a yardstick by which to measure how much we were able to move the bar after our work together is done. This list will be very important in helping us decide your marketing and branding priorities.

Which of the points below relate to you or your organization now, at this point in time? Check the items below that apply to you:

❏ I am under a lot of pressure to produce or perform well in the marketplace/the public eye❏ I have a lot of things on my plate, with many products, programs or services to promote❏ I have a limited budget with which to do it

❏ My customers/clients/other audiences may be confused about what my brand represents❏ My own staff may be confused internally about what my brand represents❏ I'm not happy with the reputation my organization has in the public eye❏ I have some negative aspects to my reputation in the community❏ I have no discernable reputation in the community

❏ I'm competing on price when it isn’t appropriate for my product/program/service to be judged on price

❏ I’ve produced marketing materials and campaigns, either internally or with a firm/designer, that looked great but didn’t increase my bottom line or ROI (Return on Investment)

❏ My tagline or marketing message makes people’s eyes glaze over. It’s confusing and doesn’t help my sales, profitability, or visibility.

❏ I find it difficult to verbalize what really makes my organization different from the competi-tion, or other organizations like mine

❏ My organization's success rests on the marketing decisions I make

You can't not brand...

The Combine • April 7, 2016 • Branding Bootcamp

"Branding the organization is inevitable…

Simply by virtue of existing and interaction

with others, the organization is branding itself.

Therefore, branding is going to happen

whether the process is managed or not.

The choice is only whether to approach the

brand proactively, or ignore and deny it and

hope that the issue goes away."

— Dannielle Blumenthal, Ph.D., Blumenthal on Branding

The African Food Shortage Crisis (A)

The Combine • April 7, 2016 • Branding Bootcamp

Food shortages in Malawi are affecting more than three

million children. In Zambia, severe rainfall deficits have

resulted in a 42% drop in maize production from 2000.

As a result, an estimated three million Zambians face hunger.

Four million Angolans — one-third of the population — have

been forced to flee their homes. More than 11 million people

in Ethiopia need immediate food assistance.

The African Food Shortage Crisis (B)

The Combine • April 7, 2016 • Branding Bootcamp

Any money that you donate will go to Rokia, a seven-year-old

girl who lives in Mali in Africa. Rokia is desperately poor and

faces a threat of severe hunger, even starvation. Her life will

be changed for the better as a result of your financial gift.

With your support, and the support of other caring spon-

sors, our organization will work with Rokia's family and other

members of the community to help feed and educate her,

and provide her with basic medical care.

O'Day Studios case study - the situation

The Combine • April 7, 2016 • Branding Bootcamp

"Gyrotonic Training is the main tool that we use and it’s what we “sell” to the public. It is a format for body mechanics retraining, based in strength and flexibility work like yoga and pilates, but with some qualitative differences. We have roughly 35 regular students who come every week. What I know about them is that they LOVE us. They are an amazing, loyal, appreciative bunch that keeps all of us trainers inspired to grow the studio more. But getting someone TO the studio in the first place? Touuuuuugh…"

“Who does what? What are all the services? I know Julie does mas-sage but is it under the umbrella of ODS? I don’t know who everyone is and what they do. Other services aren’t being pushed on me, which is good, but on the other hand, I’d like to know."

“They're committed, honest, and each of them is interested in MY well-being, they're not just in it for themselves. They do it because they love it and they care about the people they work with.”
