Brands are at a crossroads. Today’s marketers face flat growth, regulated markets, rapacious retailers and cynical consumers. And yet some brands rise above the issues to ignite passionate advocacy in consumers and employees alike. These are the brands with the imagination to stand for something rather than just following the latest consumer whim, the brands with a burning inner fire and the courage to live by their beliefs. Passionbrands not passive brands. Creating Passionbrands is based on extensive original research and interviews with the visionaries and leaders behind 40 belief-led brands including Google, Innocent, Camper, Emirates and The Co-operative Bank. The authors isolatethe five big factors that make these brands different: • they have something important to say about modern life • they act out of deeply held beliefs, not the latest focus • group findings • they are good at something that’s good for people • and stick to it • they have a moral integrity that penetrates every fibre of the business • they are never sanctimonious, boastful or dull If today’s mainstream marketers are united about one thing, it is the need to build stronger emotional connections with consumers. This book tells them how Passionbrands achieve it – and includes a step-by-step process to help them emulate that success. The methodology is proven but is not for the faint-hearted. In Passionbrand companies, integrity is all and living by belief implies sacrifice. The reward is loyalty and growth. The brands that inspire today are the Passionbrands. And, as the authors conclude, the future belongs to them.
