Betty SVP of Consumer Strategy Liz Grabek (she/her) spent last week taking in the trends at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Her key takeaways? “Passion is the new purpose. Whether it’s pickleball, F1 or pets, the brand presence and stage are dominated by brands helping people explore, experience and pursue the things they love. Creativity is back in a big way. After years of brands leaning into tech to drive performance, they are leaning into tech to help amplify bold ideas and find more authentic ways to connect.” Find more top Cannes takes from industry leaders (including Quad CMO Josh Golden) in The Drum: https://lnkd.in/e2qMcbpv

❤️ Love it or hate it? 😡 Being polarising might just be your brand’s secret weapon. Here's why... First off, this image most likely caused a visceral response of: YUM 😋 or YUCK 🤢 In a crowded market, brands often try to please everyone. And by doing this ↳ You’re likely to please 𝒏𝒐 𝒐𝒏𝒆. What if embracing a more divisive approach was the 𝒌𝒆𝒚 to unlocking your brand’s true potential? Marmite is famous for its ‘love it or hate it’ message. They have created a passionate community of fans and strong opinions from those who don’t like it. Being polarising creates: 🟩 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🟩 ↳ It makes you feel something 🟨 𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲 🟨 ↳ Passionately for or adamantly against? 🟥 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 🟥 ↳ Helps you carve a unique space in the market 🟦 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🟦 ↳ Let the arguments in comments commence 👀 But that’s not all. Being polarising can also: → Drive innovation →→ Increase visibility →→→ Boost engagement rates →→→→ Strengthen brand identity →→→→→ Enhance emotional connection Creating a polarising brand or post isn’t about being controversial for the sake of it.

Are you ready to take your brand exposure to the next level? Authenticity is the 🔑 In today's highly saturated digital landscape, consumers are craving authenticity more than ever before. They want to connect with brands on a deeper level, and they can spot inauthenticity from a mile away. So, if you want to stand out from the crowd and make a lasting impression, it's time to embrace the power of authenticity. 🚀 When you are authentic, you build trust and loyalty with your audience. People appreciate honesty and transparency, and they are more likely to engage with and support a brand that stays true to its values. Authenticity creates a genuine connection, which in turn leads to increased brand exposure. Think about it - when was the last time you saw a brand being authentic and thought, "Wow, I need to share this with my network!" Authenticity has the power to go viral, and it can turn your customers into brand advocates. Moreover, being authentic allows you to differentiate yourself from your competitors. In a sea of similar offerings, your authenticity becomes your unique selling point. It's what sets you apart and makes you memorable. So, how can you infuse authenticity into your brand? Start by understanding your values and purpose. What do you stand for? What makes you unique? Once you have clarity on these aspects, let them shine through your content, messaging, and interactions. Share your brand's journey, including the ups and downs. Show behind-the-scenes glimpses of your team and processes. Engage in meaningful conversations with your audience, listen to their feedback, and address their concerns openly. Remember, authenticity is not something you can fake. It's about being true to who you are as a brand and as a leader. Embrace your imperfections, be genuine, and let your authenticity be your guiding light. So, are you ready to take the leap? Start being authentic today and watch your brand exposure soar to new heights. 🌟 #AuthenticityMatters #BrandExposure #DigitalMarketing #BeYourself #Enterpreneur
