Brand purpose is the foundation for brand story. Consider this most brilliantly executed example of how higher brand purpose begets flawless story staging and storytelling, illustrating the more elaborate a scene is — props, staging, ambiance — the easier it is for customers to imagine themselves in it.
Organizations tend to speak about purpose and change as if they are separate subjects. Increasingly, we’ve been asking whether the two could and should be much more closely linked, prompting a shift in question from “Change – to what end?” to “Change – to what purpose?”
As scale focused brands continue to push their footprints further afield in the search for growth, big distributors, both online and off, offer strong and proven channels through which to reach consumers.
Communication is just one tool to convey brand message. Marketers and brand strategists are not employed by companies to create communications – they are employed to create change in consumer behavior. Instead of deluging customers with messages about the point a brand is trying to make, imagine how a brand might let customers experience the point it’s trying to make.
