BRAND EMERGENCE
YOU NOW HAVE THE MEANS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR BRAND’S FULL POTENTIAL.
Our proprietary Brand Emergence 6P Process worksheet is the guide marketers use to help them better evaluate their Brands.
Basically, Brand Emergence helps eliminate “garbage in = garbage out.” By going all in at the beginning, we’re better prepared to provide our clients with the best possible result, and that’s a marketing solution that turns into sales. The Brand Emergence 6Ps worksheet is one of the main reasons why our work is smarter, on target, and gets noticed in the marketplace.
The 6Ps include:
- PURPOSE– What action are you trying to achieve?
- PROBLEM– What is the marketing problem the communication is trying to solve?
- PROMISE– What are you delivering to your customers in order to create Brand value?
- PERSON– Who is it you’re trying to connect to?
- PROPOSITION– This is the illumination, the insight, the connection your Brand has been looking for.
- PLAN– How are you going to bring the insight to life?
Armed with this knowledge, you’ll be more focused on how to implement Brand communication, have a better understanding of your target, their desires and needs, develop a solid communication strategy, begin establishing your Brand’s creative platform, successfully compete in a crowded marketplace, and increase profits and overall Brand value.
Understand that this worksheet is only a tool.
In order for a Brand to truly get off the ground, it must be surrounded by a band of marketing professionals committed to creating Ideas that manifest its dormant potential.
