It's better to be distinctive than different. To be distinctive, is to be uniquely different. It's to be different in a way that only applies to you. When you're distinctive, one only needs to see a small part of you, to know it's you. Paris is distinctive. Only Paris is Paris. Every corner of Paris oozes Paris. Coca Cola is distinctive. Only Coca Cola is Coca Cola. They can run an ad and not even show the product, and you know it's an ad for Coke. Nirvana was distinctive. Only Nirvana was Nirvana. You can listen to half a second of any song from any of their albums and it's clear you're hearing a Nirvana song. So, when thinking of how to set yourself apart, don't just think of being different. Think of being different in a way that's distinctively you. #brandbuilding #b2bmarketing #marketingstrategy

𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐄 😉 A Timeless Case Study: Absolute Vodka In the early 1980s, Absolut Vodka struggled to stand out in a crowded liquor market, selling just 10,000 cases a year. That’s when the creative team at TBWA, led by Georges Biron, had a groundbreaking idea: “Let’s turn the bottle into art.” They realized the distinctive shape of the Absolut bottle was a perfect canvas. To blend vodka with high art, they partnered with iconic artists like Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, & Kenny Scharf to reimagine the bottle in unique, creative ways. The result? Absolut became a cultural icon. Sales skyrocketed to nearly 5 million cases by 2000, and the brand remains a top vodka to this day. This case study shows how applying combinatorial creativity—blending the familiar with the unexpected—can transform a business and create lasting impact. #CreativeStrategy #MarketingGenius #CombinatorialCreativity Pernod Ricard

I’m going to tell you something so subtle that it’s impossible to see it during the day... Yesterday, I got together with 2 friends to do what friends do on a Saturday night when they haven’t seen each other for several days; laugh, drink beer, and repeat old jokes... And besides the fact that they are two extraordinary people and one of them has been featured in Forbes Uruguay, what caught their attention was my TAG Heuer with the The HEINEKEN Company design on it. They asked how I got Heineken on my watch, how good it looked... how it reminded them of a Heineken advertisement, and so on... And that sparked a 5-minute conversation about that beer brand... But the most interesting part was that while sitting at the bar, when we turned to the bartender, all three of us asked if they served Heineken there... Then we drank and laughed, and the night went on... But the subtle, the interesting thing about this was that from an image on my watch, the behavior of three people was altered... The Heineken brand "took over" our minds and behavior, we were influenced by a simple image on my watch... And this is the psychological power of subtleties, this is the power of getting tiny details deep inside our brains and pressing the button from there. Using smartwatches to influence behavior is as simple as it is effective, it could work for you too. Have a great day. #loyalty #marketingideas #loyaltyprograms #heineken #tagheuer

"Did you know Coca-Cola wasn’t just a drink during WWII? It was a symbol of home and comfort for American soldiers, delivered even in the harshest war zones. Fast forward to the 1980s, and the introduction of New Coke proved just how deep the brand’s emotional connection ran—sparking outrage from loyal fans who saw it as a betrayal. Coca-Cola is more than a beverage; it’s an idea, a symbol, and a masterclass in emotional branding. This is how the brand transcended its product to become a cultural icon. Want to know the secret behind such powerful branding? Watch the video to see how Coca-Cola cracked the code. 🍾✨ #Branding #MarketingInsights #EmotionalBranding #CocaCola #BusinessStrategy"
