In marketing the word brand is probably the most misunderstood word in the marketing dictionary.  Many marketing practitioners assume just because they’re spending millions on pretty pictures and tactical ad-hoc marketing, they’re branding.  This couldn’t be farther from the truth.  Branding is a disciplined process.  Brands don’t happen by accident.

A brand, formally defined, is an emotional tie one has with a product or service.  And all brands seek to behold a promise in the mind of their target market.  For example if you wear my running shoes you can Just Do it (Nike), or if you drive my car you enjoy the Ultimate Driving Experience (BMW), or if you use UPS, they ask What Can Brown Do For You Today?

Who’s the first to come to mind when you think fast food?  If you said, “McDonalds” then you know that branding is physiological.   Once a brand enters and owns the mind of their target market they forever own that mind space.  This is why branding doesn’t happen by accident.  It must be executed through a disciplined process of Strategic Marketing.

If your organization desires to be brand driven rather than commodity or transactional driven, then get ready to say NO a lot.  Say NO to ad hoc marketing and communications and NO to marketing that isn’t measured and integrated with SALES & SERVICE.

Why Events and Event Marketing are the Greatest Tactic for Return on Investment

Welcome to the blog for California’s most strategically biased marketing, and advertising agency serving Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, Orange County San Diego and all 50 United States. Partner with a client centric B2B Market Agency that puts skin in the game… from strategic Telemarketing Services to Experiential Event Marketing.

If your organization has the budget to invest in creating your own “experiential” event then go for it! The rewards and return on investment are a hundred-fold over a trade show event where you’re just one of the crowd.  Your own experiential event marketing truly becomes a business and sales asset.

If you take time to execute your experiential event marketing in a strategic manner and create a world-class branded event experience, you’re giving your audience relative content that is not self serving.  Your audience is ingratiated to you because of your authenticity.  Where else can you touch your prospects and clients, impress them with your brand and a variety of stimuli and physical sensations?  When you spend time with someone, you’re building a relationship. When you do that with your target audience, you’re building trust and credibility.   These are the reasons WE buy.
