Brands that work
Ask a group of people in impromptu to name the
first brand that comes to them, and the top ones will be Coke, Ferrari, and Starbucks. Also, since of late, Viagra.
Why do these brands have this invaluable brand
recall and success?
Because they all work.
Excellently!
There's no better drink than an ice cold Coke on
a hot, humid day. Or Coke with Rum, Ceylon Arrack, Vodka, Bourbon or an
occasional whisky in the tropics.
Ferrari is still the only thing every man in
this world has in common. They all dream of owning one. Even more than Kate
Moss.
There's nothing to beat the experience of
getting coffee on the go from Starbucks on chilly autumn mornings or cold
winter evenings.
As for Viagra, well course, it works! That’s the
brand promise – a good stiffy!
Your brand has to work. First and foremost.
As the old moral goes you fail every time
dressing a dead woman in a bridal. She’s dead. (Via Udaya Tennakoan everybody’s
advertising big brother).
Lots of brand owners forget that. Ignoring it
doesn’t mean its not dead.
