DESCRIPTION

Having your corporate logo, your product merchandising, your marketing materials, and your advertising is just the beginning when it comes to brand management today. At the most fundamental level our corporate brand positioning comes to life at the touchpoint between employees and customers. After all, your brand isn't what you say it is, it's what your customers say it is. This presentation was originally created and shared by Watson Wyatt. It has been shared several times with audiences ranging from PEMCO Insurance's board members to front line staff. Hope you enjoy it.

branding is a whole lot different than all those things

It’s an old-fashioned promise

So it’s nothing new really.

“Don’t you worry about us. We’ll say what we do and do what we say each and every time you do business with us which we hope you’ll do often because we have the best people ready to serve you and we really want to do right by you. You can just come to us without considering anyone else because we’ll always make it a good experience and if for some reason it’s not we’ll fix it because we really, really, really value your loyalty and we just don’t even want you to give a moment’s notice to anyone else who does anything remotely like what we do. But no one does.”

Just a short way of saying,

Your people have to get it.

They have to think, act and feel your

brand.

no one can just hang around and chew their cud

Getting’ hold of those hands, minds and hearts means

you gotta make sure employees experience the brand themselves.
