“It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”
—Mark Twain
Brands must be managed seamlessly across the entire customer experience to deliver business growth.
24
Products "& services
Online "& offline "environments
People "& behaviors
Communications
The Brand The strategy "for the business
The experience
But there are thousands of things that could change to improve the brand experience and build value.
25
And most of those experiences are controlled by departments outside the marketing function.
26
This overwhelming amount of choice can easily create a lack of focus throughout the organization.And an incoherent experience for customers.
27
What CEO’s and CMO’s need is a clear roadmap that helps identify and prioritize actions that will have the most impact on growth.
28
And a means to align their organization around those priorities.
29
30
Leadership…!
Clarity!Clarity internally about what the brand stands for in terms of its values, positioning and proposition. Clarity too about target audiences, customer insights and drivers.
Commitment Internal commitment to the brand, and a belief internally in its importance. The extent to which the brand receives support in terms of time and influence.
Governance The degree to which the organization "has the required skills and an operating model for the brand that enables effective and efficient deployment of the brand strategy.
Responsiveness The organization’s ability to constantly evolve the brand and business in response to, or anticipation of, market changes, challenges and opportunities.
…steers brand experience...!
Consistency The degree to which a brand is experienced without fail across "all touchpoints or formats.
Presence The degree to which a brand feels omnipresent and is talked about positively by consumers, customers and opinion formers in both traditional and social media.
Engagement The degree to which customers/consumers show a deep understanding of, active participation in, and a strong sense of identification with, the brand.
…influencing expectations!
Authenticity The brand is soundly based on an internal truth and capability. It has a defined story and a well grounded value set. It can deliver against the (high) expectations that customers have of it.
Relevance The fit with customer/consumer needs, desires, and decision criteria across all relevant demographics and geographies.
Differentiation The degree to which customers/consumers perceive the brand "to have a differentiated proposition and brand experience.
We know what those priorities are.

Leadership…! …steers brand experience...! …influencing expectations!
And their impact on business performance.
Staff engagement > churn, cost to hire, etc.
Efficiency > reduced costs
Sense of purpose > productivity
Speed to market > margin protection
Value perception > premium justification
Desirability > choice/demand/price
Uniqueness > price, loyalty
Efficiency and recognition > cost saving, loyalty driver
Top of mind > choice, loyalty reinforcement
Emotional investment > loyalty, price, advocacy

Growth is a permanent process of curiosity, learning and development
“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
—Peter Drucker
It all starts on the inside
When employees know they can make a difference, they do.
• Loyalty is a direct result of customer satisfaction.
• Satisfaction is largely influenced by the value of services provided to customers.
• Value is created by satisfied, loyal, and productive employees.

Experience and creative transformation
36
Ultimately we need to shape the experiences customers have with the business to create real change.
The brand is the score.The experiencethe performance.
The Brand
The Experience
38
And that experience is increasinglycategory-agnostic.
Great brands no longer belong to a sector.
39
Great brands no longerbelong to a category.
They define one, by creating an experience built on a well-defined proposition and creative idea.
So while before categorieswere articulated from a supply perspective, today they are articulated from a demand perspective
Today the old question “what business are we in”,is answered by a benefit,not a category. Brands are replacing sectors.
In the business of proximity
In the business of contemporary Britishness
In the business of extreme energy
In the business of dreamweaving

Marketing Capabilities
49
Its one thing to create a process for change and develop experiences that will change how customers interact with the business. But to sustain change, we need to permanently improve the skills and capabilities of the organization.
