    Business effects of brand marketing with John James

    Show notes * John on LinkedIn * John’s Substack and other links Summary * John shares his journey from advertising to consulting, focusing on practical outcomes rather than marketing politics. * He highlights the common misconception that advertising only means paid ads and explains that any brand communication can be seen as "advertising." * John describes the industry's split between "brand" and "performance" marketing, noting that customers don’t view these distinctions. * He emphasizes the importance of measuring marketing's financial impact and explains why companies need an "always-on" approach to marketing for lasting brand recognition. * John criticizes the "trust-me" approach in marketing and suggests that marketers should communicate results clearly to executives, especially in financial terms. * He explains how changes in privacy and digital tracking have made it harder to measure digital ad performance accurately. * His recommendation for effective marketing measurement is to return to basic incrementality testing to see what actually drives growth. * John stresses the need for brand-building but advises against over-investment in specific channels too early. He supports a balanced approach, combining testing and targeted investments. * He concludes by encouraging marketers to detach emotionally from their campaigns and focus on long-term growth.

    Stop listening to the customer with Adam Ferrier

    Show notes * Adam’s agency Thinkerbell * Adam’s book: Stop listening to the customer Summary * Adam Ferrier challenges the idea of being "customer-obsessed," arguing that brands lose their identity by focusing too much on consumer needs. * He believes brands should prioritize their own values and what they stand for instead of solely catering to customer demands. * Companies like Apple and IKEA are examples of successful brands that don’t always prioritize customer convenience but stick to their vision. * Ferrier suggests that modern marketing often dilutes creativity, and strong brand leadership is essential to keep a brand distinct. * He advocates for a company-wide approach to branding, where everyone, not just the marketing department, is responsible for the brand's success.

    Effective brand-building with Grace Kite

    Here are the key takeaways from the podcast: * Effectiveness in marketing: It's about ensuring that marketing efforts, particularly advertising, achieve their intended goals, whether that's awareness, behavior change, or sales. * Econometrics simplified: Econometrics uses data to determine if a marketing campaign worked by analyzing both the campaign’s direct impact and other factors (e.g. a competitor campaign) that could influence the outcome. * When to use econometrics: It's most useful for businesses with multiple marketing channels and more complex budgets but might not be necessary for very small businesses with straightforward marketing efforts. * Creativity matters: In a world with fragmented attention, compelling creative content is essential. Strong branding and creative consistency across platforms amplify marketing effectiveness. * The rise of digital: While traditional media like TV is losing its dominance, the advent of digital tools allows for more targeted, cost-effective, and immediate marketing responses, making brand-building and performance marketing work hand-in-hand.

    Is brand strategy bullsh*t?

    As a brand designer, Austin experienced a similar journey to mine, he learned about the power of brand strategy and started offering it to clients. Things were great. But on that journey towards becoming a strategist, he also noticed that some things were broken in this new ‘era’ of strategic brand designers.We explore the following topics: * Is Brand Strategy Overrated?: We dive into whether brand strategy is often overhyped, sometimes leading to boring or trendy brand identities that don't stand the test of time. * Distinctiveness is key: The key takeaway is that making your brand stand out with distinctive assets—like logos or mascots—is way more important than getting bogged down in traditional strategy stuff. * What strategy should be about: Instead of getting lost in complex strategies, we should focus on creativity and making brands that are instantly recognizable. I hope you enjoyed this conversation, please let me know in the comments how you use brand strategy (or how you avoid it 😁). I also mentioned Roel Stavorinus his book on Strategic brand design, it’s actually available in English now! Want more critical, hands-on content on brand-building? Please hit that subscribe button!
