Inspiring brands have the unique ability to not only capture attention but also to build lasting relationships with their consumers. Consider Starbucks, whose focus on quality service goes beyond the product, creating a community around their coffee. Nike takes it a step further with a strong emotional connection centered on their empowering tagline, encouraging individuals to "Just Do It." Brands like Patagonia shine with their commitment to sustainability, resonating deeply with audiences who value environmental consciousness. Then there's Amazon, where convenience and competitive pricing make shopping effortless for countless customers. Finally, Wendy’s cleverly engages with humor, appealing to a younger audience with relatable content that feels authentic and approachable.

Magical moments create great memories, and memories drive brand choice. Creating meaningfully different experiences is not easy. To be successful, brands must recognise that all their experiences create customer memories, which drives long-term commercial impact. High growth brands however, go beyond functional differentiation to offer something customers can only get from their brand. They deliver experiences that are both meaningful and different with the result that they leave a much deeper level of emotive differentiation which remains in the memory for longer. And to stand out, brands must reinforce what makes them meaningful and different in their competitive context and deliver difference at every opportunity.

🌚 Ever heard about brand rituals? 👀 NO?? KEEP READING! Designing meaningful brand rituals is one of the most impactful strategies to build long-lasting customer engagement and loyalty! So, what exactly are brand rituals and why do they matter? Brand rituals are the unique, consistent experiences or actions, usually in a sequence, that customers associate with your brand. They build emotional connections, enhance customer experiences, foster loyalty, and differentiate your brand in the market. What are they good for? BUILDING EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS: Brand rituals create emotional bonds with your audience. Whether it’s the way you package your products, the experience of unboxing, or a signature service, these rituals evoke feelings of familiarity and trust. ENHANCING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE: Rituals make interactions memorable. Think about Lush’s personalized consultations or how Sephora offers mini-makeovers. These rituals enhance the overall experience, making customers feel pampered and valued. FOSTERING LOYALTY: When customers engage in rituals, they become loyal advocates. From Patagonia’s repair and reuse program to LEGO’s build-your-own creations in-store, these experiences deepen brand loyalty and encourage repeat business. DIFFERENTIATING YOUR BRAND: Rituals set you apart in a crowded market. They’re unique to your brand and create a competitive edge. Whether it’s a personalized subscription box or a community event, these rituals define your brand’s identity. Let's take a look at Ferrero Rocher as an example. The packaging itself cues a specific way to display and consume the product that even indicates the special/elevanted context it belongs to. This ritual signals a lot of information to their audience creating a connection between the product and the unique feeling of receiving a gift or being pampered. By embracing brand rituals, you’re not just selling products—you’re creating memorable experiences that resonate with your audience. Let’s craft rituals that make your brand unforgettable!

What is the most important property of a successful brand? In a word: meaning. A brand 'means something' to its buyers. Something worth paying more for. And therein lies all of the value of all of the brands ever created. But what kinds of meaning are consumers looking for? According to Havas, who have trademarked the term 'Meaningful Brands', people wouldn't care if 75% of brands disappeared. That makes them meaningless,  scarcely more than a generic product. The meaningful few are part of the 'Me-conomy' and they help people... 'to be my best self', 'to facilitate my life' to be part of ‘a platform for good'. I’ve shared here an image  from the white paper. Presumably these are the people  putting the ‘Me’ into the Me-conomy. At a crowded airport departure lounge, I don’t see many people cool enough to form a dance troupe, but I do see a lot of brands. I pondered on the mechanisms by which Adidas, Heinz ketchup, Coca-Cola and Birra Moretti might be helping their buyers to be their best selves? Physical Availability, for sure. Familiarity (a big part of Mental Availability). Both are mental shortcuts for 'quality'. Seeing brands in lots of places, and seeing other people  buying, using or owning them, triggers our unconscious bias to associate them  with quality, social status  and success. Is there really any more to  the 'meaning' of brands than fuelling this hard-wired, all-consuming desire? Well, yes. Now you have to get ‘chosen’  amongst competitors. That takes:  unique signals of identity (‘Distinctive Assets’) that bring recognition, and associations  capable of emotional connection. An already rich idea, capable of being magnified by advertising, so that, to coin a famous phrase, “You Know When You’ve Been Tango'd”. Now that’s the kind  of meaningful branding we like to put into The Me-conomy. Let's dance! #meaningful #brandstrategy #packaging
