From the Introduction & First Chapter
Introduction
Disruptive Branding by Jacob Benbunan A strong brand is essential for business success. But why do some brands capture our imagination while others simply fade away? Consider the enduring power of Coca-Cola. In blind taste tests, consumers often prefer Pepsi, yet Coca-Cola consistently outsells its rival.
This is the power of a brand. It shapes perception and guides decisions. But what truly defines a brand? How can you build a strategy for the modern era?
And how do you bring that strategy to life? This summary explores how any business can craft and implement a winning brand strategy.
adapting to disruption
Adapting to Disruption. Did you know there are more SIM cards globally than people? There were 7. 8 billion in 2017.
Technology is reshaping our world. It changes how we shop and learn. Our world is becoming smaller and faster. It is constantly being disrupted.
Brands must understand these disruptive forces. Many brands need to be both global and local. McDonald's is a prime example. Its success began with standardization, but its true global reach came from embracing local tastes.
In Chile, avocado puree is a popular fry condiment. In India, you'll find a Maharaja burger instead of a Big Mac. Expanding globally is easier than ever. Successful brands embrace localization too.
Consumer habits are also changing rapidly. Previously, feedback meant writing or calling headquarters. Today, social networks offer immediate impact. In 2010, Gap tried a logo change.
The classic logo was replaced with a modern design. Customers reacted negatively on social media. A week later, Gap reverted to the old logo. Customers were actively shaping the brand.
A final trend is the merging of digital and physical. The internet did not kill physical stores. Instead, window shopping has become digitized. Digital interactions influence 56 cents of every dollar spent in stores.
We research online before visiting a store. Brands face rapid changes in consumer engagement. Ignoring these changes is not an option. Brands must adapt to survive.
