Only 15% of brand assets are truly distinctive. And just 19% of logos achieve "gold" status in recognizability according to a study by Ipsos and JKR. So which marketing strategy matters more: differentiation or distinctiveness?In this episode, Elena, Angela, and Rob debate whether brands should focus on meaningful differentiation or memorable distinctiveness. The hosts explore research showing that while differentiation plays a more limited role than traditionally assumed, distinctiveness is crucial for getting into consumers' consideration sets. They also examine how category dynamics impact which strategy dominates and share real-world examples of brands that excel at either approach. Topics covered: [01:00] Research from Rob Myerson on Byron Sharp's distinctiveness claims[03:00] The case for focusing on distinctiveness in marketing[06:00] Why differentiation gives brands resilience and pricing power[09:00] How category dynamics impact strategy importance[12:30] The role of distinctiveness in TV advertising effectiveness[19:00] Examples of brands excelling at distinctiveness vs differentiation  To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.  Resources:  2021 WARC Article: https://www.warc.com/newsandopinion/opinion/what-does-byron-sharps-research-really-tell-us-about-differentiation/en-gb/4314 Get more research-backed marketing strategies by subscribing to The Marketing Architects on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts. 

Richard Shotton delves deep into the world of behavioural science, exploring how human psychology profoundly influences marketing strategies. Richard shares his journey from being a media planner to discovering the power of behavioural science through Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point.Richard recounts the pivotal moment when he was working on an NHS brief to encourage blood donations. Reading The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell inspired him to apply behavioural science theories to real-world problems, leading to a successful campaign that dramatically increased blood donations.He explains how applying the findings of 1960s behavioural studies to modern marketing challenges opened up a whole new world for him, shaping his career focus. Richard provides a compelling case study of Avis's famous "We Try Harder" campaign, demonstrating how admitting a flaw can make a brand more appealing. He links this to the pratfall effect, where admitting a minor flaw can make people perceive you as more genuine and trustworthy.Richard talks about the limitations of traditional marketing research methods like surveys and focus groups. He stresses the importance of experimentation and real-world testing to get more accurate insights into consumer behaviour. He introduces the concept of "Mandic Testing," a method of applying A/B testing to surveys to get more accurate insights. This helps in isolating the variables that truly influence consumer behaviour.This episode is packed with actionable insights and real-world examples, making it a must-watch for marketers looking to understand the science behind consumer behaviour.

How to craft communication that your audience will remember.Why do some messages stick, while others go in one ear and out the other? When it comes to crafting memorable communication, Ada Aka says not all verbiage is created equal. “Certain words are intrinsically more memorable than others,” says Aka, an assistant professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business. In her research of consumer behavior and decision-making, she's uncovered how language shapes not just our perception of the world, “but how the world stays with us over time." From concrete terms to emotionally charged ones, certain words have more staying power than others, and to communicators who want to capture audiences (and keep them), she says, “Carefully chosen words, they're going to be taking the attention.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Aka joins Matt Abrahams to explore the science of memorable communication. From creating brand slogans that stick to choosing words that align with your message, she reveals how to create communication that won't be forgotten.Episode Reference Links:Ada AkaEp.80 Magic Words: Change What You Say to Inspire and Influence Others Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:05) - The Power of Words in Memory (03:45) - What Makes Words Memorable?

Leslie Zane, Founder and CEO of Triggers® Brand Consulting, and author of "The Power of Instinct: The New Rules of Persuasion in Business and Life."  Leslie explains that our instinctive, unconscious mind makes up about 95% of our daily choices, and marketers who focus on this instead of logical appeals see the strongest brand results. Leslie unpacks the concept of growth triggers, small but powerful cues that embed positive associations with a brand and override past negative perceptions. She also reveals why emotional marketing has limited long-term impact and urges brands to adopt strategies that leverage familiarity and instinct to grow lasting loyalty. Leslie touches on the Age of Instinct, a term she uses to describe today's emphasis on behavioral science and AI in decision-making. With marketing now focused more on the unconscious mind, Leslie believes that the future of branding is driven by the brain's associative power. She breaks down the difference between “uniqueness” and “distinctiveness” in marketing, advocating for strategies that balance fresh ideas with a sense of the familiar.  Leslie's insights challenge traditional marketing rules and provide a roadmap for leaders looking to grow authentically by aligning with the natural ways the human brain makes decisions.     Key Takeaways [03:24] Leslie explains that Kahneman's research emphasizes the unconscious mind's major role in decision-making, responsible for about 95% of our choices. However, the marketing industry mistakenly interpreted this as needing emotional appeals, which don't lead to long-lasting brand loyalty. Leslie stresses that emotional connection is an outcome, not an input, for effective persuasion. [07:59] Leslie shares that in the 90s, her work on instinctive decision-making was met with resistance, as behavioral science was not yet widely recognized in the business world. She felt isolated as she advocated for a focus on instinctive mind, a concept that took 30 years to gain mainstream acceptance. [16:31] Leslie describes the brand connectome as the network of associations tied to a brand that resides in the unconscious mind. Brands grow stronger as they develop positive, distinctive, and familiar connections over time, ultimately leading to instinctive consumer choices. [20:04] Leslie says “growth triggers” act like a brand's “miracle grow.” These are sensory cues, like McDonald's “fresh cracked egg” imagery, that add positive associations to a brand quickly, reversing negative perceptions and strengthening consumer loyalty. [25:09] Leslie notes that persuasion within a company requires treating ideas like brands. To achieve internal buy-in, she suggests building familiarity over time rather than introducing fully formed ideas. Involve key influencers in early stages, allowing people to “co-create” the idea, which increases acceptance and support. Leslie emphasizes that frequent exposure to an idea builds comfort and familiarity, making it more likely to be embraced. [28:31] Leslie discusses how the current era of AI and behavioral science emphasizes the unconscious mind's influence in business. As AI advances, it enables marketers to connect with consumers on an instinctive level, signaling a shift toward the Age of Instinct in decision-making. [32:40] Leslie highlights that while behavioral science and AI are powerful tools for persuasion, they raise ethical concerns. She stresses the importance of ethical marketing practices, as companies may manipulate consumers without their awareness. Leslie warns that as AI technology progresses, it is essential for the industry to remain vigilant, ensuring human control and prioritizing consumer well-being to prevent overstepping ethical boundaries. [39:18] And remember, “Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path.” - Henry Winkler   Quotable Quotes "Emotional connection should be the outcome, not the input." "The instinctive mind calls the shots in branding and decision-making – that's where marketers need to focus." "Familiarity beats uniqueness – a brand's strength lies in building familiar, positive associations." "Instinct is the most powerful force for changing human behavior – leverage it to make your brand unforgettable." "Growth triggers act like 'miracle grow' for brands, adding positive associations that change consumer perception." "The brand connectome is a mental network – the larger and more positive it is, the stronger the brand loyalty." "Marketing to the conscious mind won't drive long-term loyalty. Our unconscious choices hold the power." "Distinctiveness, not uniqueness, makes a brand memorable – give consumers something fresh that still feels familiar." "Stop trying to persuade people; instead, align with the mind's natural instincts and your brand will grow." "We're in the Age of Instinct, where behavioral science and AI unlock new ways to connect with consumers."   This is the book mentioned in this episode Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

Roger Mosey, a former Editorial Director of the BBC, Head of TV News, and Director of Sport, discusses his lecture to the Commonwealth Journalists Association on the challenges facing public service media, the mainstream media's lack of understanding of political landscapes in the UK and US, clickbait, interactivity and audience connections, as well as cuts and talent drain at the BBC. "The BBC's Charter says it must engage the public to a very high standard with the issues of the day and inform our democracy. And that's non-negotiable. It's got to do it, and it does many times do that. It doesn't do it enough, and I think its political coverage is particularly weak. Why? Because the Westminster bubble dominates the political coverage, and there's too much about who's up, who's down, and there's too much about short-term headlines." Listen to all our episodes here: https://podfollow.com/beebwatch/view To support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month: www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership Or if you'd rather make a one-off payment (which doesn't entitle you to the blog) please use our crowdfunding page:https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/roger-boltons-beeb-watch-podcast @BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.comwww.goodeggproductions.uk Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Introduction Overview: Joe Glover explains a simplified approach to crafting a marketing strategy. Value: Strategy aligns marketing efforts with business goals, providing clear benchmarks and direction. Align with Business Objectives: Marketing goals should connect directly to company objectives. SMART Goals: Specific, Measurable, Ambitious, Relevant, Time-bound. Example: Replace “get our name out there” with “increase site visits by 50% in six months.” Identify the Core Problem: Mark Ritson's “diagnosis” starts with understanding what the customer truly needs. Jobs to Be Done: Customers buy products to solve functional, emotional, or social problems. Research: Use customer feedback, social media, and reviews to pinpoint needs and pain points. Go Beyond Demographics: Use psychographics, behaviours, and values to understand your audience. Focus on Viable Segments: Consider Total Addressable Market (TAM), spending power, and reachability. Example Segment: Joe's target for ABC Limited: “fashion-forward pet owners” who value stylish pet wear. Craft a Positioning Statement: Define your brand's unique value concisely. Distinctiveness vs. Differentiation: Separate Strategy from Tactics: Start with strategy, not tactics, to avoid scattershot efforts. Use a Funnel-Based Approach: Awareness, Consideration, Purchase, Retention, Advocacy. Examples: Team Involvement: Collaborate with sales, leadership, and other departments for buy-in. Measure & Adjust: Track each tactic with specific metrics to ensure alignment with strategy. Key Steps to a Bare Minimum Marketing Strategy 1. Set Clear, Aligned Goals 2. Solving a Problem 3. Targeting and Segmentation 4. Positioning 5. Tactics

As a brand designer, Austin experienced a similar journey to mine, he learned about the power of brand strategy and started offering it to clients. Things were great. But on that journey towards becoming a strategist, he also noticed that some things were broken in this new ‘era' of strategic brand designers.We explore the following topics:* Is Brand Strategy Overrated?: We dive into whether brand strategy is often overhyped, sometimes leading to boring or trendy brand identities that don't stand the test of time.* Distinctiveness is key: The key takeaway is that making your brand stand out with distinctive assets—like logos or mascots—is way more important than getting bogged down in traditional strategy stuff.* What strategy should be about: Instead of getting lost in complex strategies, we should focus on creativity and making brands that are instantly recognizable.I hope you enjoyed this conversation, please let me know in the comments how you use brand strategy (or how you avoid it

Todd Rose is the co-founder and CEO of  Populace, and founder of the Laboratory for the Science of Individuality.

He then shifts to the challenges leaders face in balancing fairness and personalization.

Todd talks about his Dark Horse Project, which explores how people achieve fulfillment and excellence by following their unique paths.       Key Takeaways [03:30] Todd discussed why individuality is central to his work and the importance of human distinctiveness and its impact on potential and fulfillment. He also compared standardization to personalization in various fields.  [06:03] Todd emphasizes the impact of the Industrial Age on individuality, psychological drives for categorization versus self-expression, and a critique of Frederick Taylor's scientific management and its effects in relation to societal transformation, human identity, and labor efficiency during the industrial revolution. [07:28] He talks about the importance of personalizing leadership while maintaining fairness, the challenges of balancing individual needs with organizational goals, and the evolving expectations of employees in the workplace.

[41:57] Closing quote: Remember, "If a man is not faithful to his own individuality, he cannot be loyal to anything." - Claude McKay   Quotable Quotes "The biggest mistake we've made in the industrial age is the abandonment of the appreciation for human distinctiveness." "Harnessing your individuality is a pretty central element to really leading a fulfilling life." "The flaw with the industrial age is that in the past, it was sort of intuitive that we were categorized in the same way that we thought it was intuitive that the earth was flat." "Whereas like a Frederick Taylor, we led to a very paternalistic society that we've lived in for quite a while, which is in some ways antithetical to liberal democracies." "The biggest driver of a sense of meaning is pursuing a goal freely chosen." "It's very hard to transform institutions that are captured." "Innovation in terms of being left behind is really important." "We can get scale through personalization." "Individuality is a fact, and it's really important." "If a man is not faithful to his own individuality, he cannot be loyal to anything." - Claude McKay   These are the books mentioned in our discussion with Todd   Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

In a world where Cults Twist Christian Terminology to fit their agendas,  and deceive. We equip you with the tools of discernment needed to identify genuine gospel teachings. We also dive into the contentious issues within Mormonism, discussing their redefinitions of Christian concepts and the implications for those who encounter their well-trained missionaries.In the final stretch, attention turns to Freemasonry, shedding light on its rituals and beliefs that starkly contrast with the Christian faith. Dr. Carlson's insights into the incompatibility of Masonic practices with Christian doctrine serve as a stark warning to believers.

The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries and this fact is yet another reason we need more Biophilic Design included into urban planning, architecture, design, and every environmental facet of city and town life. Robert Delius, Associate Director, Architect and Head of Sustainability at Stride Treglown is doing just that. Aiming to maximise biodiversity through design, Robert has a passion to create an Eden, where buildings and landscapes come together and there's a feeling of abundance, where there's nature and birdsong and insect life and a powerful sense of well-being. Robert's background in housing design and master planning has set him up in good stead to create good design and great places. Distinctiveness and place making are a thread through his career. He also has a particular interest in regenerative design and how great design can have a measurably positive impact on climate, ecology and people. In short, he is a brilliantly creative proactive advocate for Biophilic Design. He believes that forging a closer connection to the natural world, is extremely good for our well-being as well as being good for the planet and good for nature, and his passion for Biophilic Design is life-long. One of the projects he discusses is his Great Bow Yard project in Somerset from 2008. This had gained media attention because it had been flagged as the most energy efficient scheme in the UK. Having recently revisited the project, Robert notes that residents, are not only pleased with the low energy costs, but were actually most enthused by the shared garden and the feelings of well-being that stem from it being a beautiful spot. In this podcast, Robert talks of his background and upbringing and how that has led him to his passion for living in harmony with nature. He discusses how on his projects, and those of his colleagues, he always looks to introduce as many opportunities as possible for planting in designs, both internally and externally to reduce hard space and introduce a softer more natural element. This passion is carried through to the present day. As we said at the beginning, Robert is concerned to note that the UK is the most one of the most nature depleted countries in the world and this fact has inspired him, and others, to create a public event “Code Red for Nature” (link below), a funeral for nature in Bath on 20th April 2024. The event is open to all, even Chris Packham will be there supporting and Dan Pearson design studio will also be taking part.

Springfield Covenant Community Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Distinctiveness and Beauty of Covenant Worship Subtitle: 2 Kings Speaker: Rev Rodney Collins Broadcaster: W. Springfield Covenant Community Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 3/10/2024 Bible: 2 Kings 17:24-41 Length: 47 min.

What do you hold closely as part of your identity? Are you resting in your distinctiveness? Resting in the wrong place is actually no rest at all. When we rest in anything other than the gospel, we will always find ourselves weary, unsatisfied, and always on guard trying to protect our distinctiveness. Jesus wants us to put our striving aside, trust Him, and rest in Him alone.

Today, we're exploring Leviticus Chapter 15, a chapter that addresses the concept of ritual purity and underscores the importance of being distinct in our faith.In this episode, we'll uncover the symbolic and practical aspects of physical and health issues  as outlined in Leviticus 15. While these ancient laws may seem peculiar, they convey timeless lessons about spiritual purity, holiness, and setting ourselves apart in our walk with God.Join us as we journey through this chapter, drawing parallels between the Old Testament laws and the principles that guide us in our modern Christian lives. Let's embark on this enlightening exploration of Leviticus 15, starting from verse one.Episode SummaryIntroduction: Being Set ApartThe Bible emphasizes the need for believers to be distinct. Leviticus 15 contains laws aimed at making the ancient Israelites distinct, illustrating the principle of being set apart in their faith. Although the specific laws may not apply directly to us, the essence of being distinct remains relevant.Understanding Ritual ImpurityLeviticus 15 discusses bodily discharges, presenting scenarios that render a person ceremonially unclean. The laws emphasize a spiritual lesson of separation, highlighting the need for believers to stand out in their walk with God.The Purification ProcessWhen a person with a discharge is cleansed, they undergo a seven-day purification process involving specific rituals. This period emphasizes the importance of cleanliness and atonement, reflecting the concept of renewal and spiritual purification.Social and Religious SignificanceThese laws held significance in Israel's social and religious life, distinctly separating sexual activity from worship. The regulations underscored the need for separation from certain bodily functions and practices associated with pagan worship, illustrating a commitment to holy living.Lesson for Today 1: Distinctiveness in BehaviorIn a New Testament context, Paul's writings shed light on the concept of distinctiveness for Christians. While there may not be direct equivalents to these ceremonial laws, believers are encouraged to shine as lights in the world by avoiding complaining, disputing, and displaying gratitude and praise instead of adopting negative behaviours.Lesson for Today 2: Striving for Purity of HeartLeviticus 15 prompts believers to focus on the condition of their hearts and strive for purity. Just as the chapter discusses bodily discharges, it highlights the importance of maintaining a pure heart dedicated to God and free from impure motives and thoughts.LSupport the showFurther Discipleship Training Courses Free at;linkedin.com/in/jeremy-mccandless-68353b16Podcast Archive also athttps://www.youtube.com/c/JeremyRMcCandlessThe LIFE Podcast - The Bible Project | FacebookMy Amazon Author Pageamazon.com/author/jeremymccandlessJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
