In the intensifying global marketplace, branding is everything. Interesting how U.S. corporate brands still dominate worldwide, with $3.2 trillion in value. But the world is changing, with Emerging Markets also building more influence. Chinese brands are worth nearly $830 billion as the country's consumer culture grows, and even a small country like South Korea has market leaders such as Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor Company (현대자동차). Quite different from 25 years ago when more European and Japanese brands like Sony were more prominent in rankings like these.

📈 How brands impact share price in Asia: the case of Best Korean Brands. Interbrand's main driver is to help brands boost the value and return on their businesses. The 12th edition of the report on the 50 most valuable brands in Korea demonstrates the importance of the brand and its impact on the share price. Specifically, companies listed among Interbrand's 2024 Best Korean Brands show a 41% higher stock price increase vs the KOSPI average, reflecting the growing significance of brand assets in corporate value. Brands now influence not only consumers but also investors. The line between these audiences becomes increasingly blurred, pushing us to consider ‘public investors’ rather than general consumers targeted through marketing and promotion. To the entire team in Seoul, led by Ji Hun Moon: hats off not only for the launch of 2024 Best Korean Brands but also for the 30th anniversary of your office, which you are celebrating today with a wonderful gala in the Grand Ballroom of the Grand Hyatt Seoul. Finally, congratulations to the 50 Korean brands featured in the report, especially the top 5 (Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor Company (현대자동차), Kia Worldwide, NAVER Corp, and LG Electronics), accounting for 72.2% of the total table value.

Feelgood Friday - get comfortable with being uncomfortable I love this Ikea advert from Korea. Fortunately you don't need subtitles, the story is very self-explanatory. And funny, whatever nationality you are! When working across cultures, sometimes you have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Not understanding every word, being prepared to just watch what people do and roll with it. And the same is true in the field of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Other people's experiences might be different to your own and learning about them might make you realise you've got blind spots, or you've said something that you need to apologise for. Sometimes you have you get comfortable with being uncomfortable. What are your examples of being comfortable with being uncomfortable? Happy Friday all! #DiversityandInclusion #Inclusion #Leadership #GlobalAndInclusive https://lnkd.in/ebUEiqct

I just finished a deep dive into Uniqlo's market entry strategy in Malaysia, and it's fascinating to see how they've tailored their approach to truly resonate with local consumers. From adapting product lines like AIRism to suit the tropical climate, to implementing a competitive pricing strategy with frequent limited-time offers, Uniqlo has effectively differentiated itself in the Malaysian market, especially with winning the heart of Malaysian customers. The most important takeaway that I get from this field visit is that success in a new market isn't just about selling products, it's about understanding and adapting to the local culture, preferences, and behaviors. #MKW3444 #FieldVisit

Seven Eleven is emerging as a formidable force in South Korea's highly competitive convenience store market. The retailer has successfully leveraged sports marketing and product innovation to drive significant growth and customer engagement. A prime example of this strategy is the recent pop-up store at Lotte World Tower. Collaborating with the K League and Sanrio, the store showcased a unique blend of sports and character merchandise, attracting over 250,000 visitors in just three weeks. This unprecedented success underscores Seven Eleven’s ability to tap into consumer trends and create buzz. Sports cards have also proven to be a winning formula. Since launching K League soccer cards in September 2022, the company has sold approximately 4.5 million packs across various sports leagues. This has not only generated substantial revenue but also driven foot traffic and increased sales of other products. To further solidify its position, Seven Eleven is expanding its sports-related offerings and placing a strong emphasis on food innovation. The launch of products like Mat Jangwoo, a convenient food line endorsed by actor Lee Jang-woo, has been particularly successful, with over 5 million units sold. The product's focus on larger portions and increased fillings has resonated with consumers seeking value and convenience. Moreover, limited-edition, low-priced beers have created significant buzz and generated strong sales. The company's ability to capitalize on consumer demand for affordable yet high-quality products highlights its agility and responsiveness to market trends. The integration of Ministop, acquired in 2022, is expected to further enhance Seven Eleven's market position. By streamlining operations and restructuring underperforming stores, the company aims to achieve economies of scale and improve profitability. With a growing market share, innovative product offerings, and a successful sports marketing strategy, Seven Eleven is poised to challenge industry leaders GS25 and CU. The company's positive outlook and focus on employee morale suggest a bright future ahead.
