#1 Are you

'Content'ed yet?

Content Marketing looks like the biggest trend this year too.

An insight.

by

Saumya Sadana “Content Marketing is the only marketing left.”

-Seth Godin I am a huge fan of the way Zomato, the food discovery platform, has been using content on social media.

Their content is fun, captivating and leaves you feeling happy and informed. They don’t bombard you with a-post-a-day rule on Facebook yet manage to successfully garner enough attention, so much so that the followers eagerly look forward to the next post.

One of India’s favourite brands, Amul was able to master the art of great content with their topicals, way before the onset of digital marketing. It has thus created a uniqueness in its marketing that no brand can easily replicate, even today What have Zomato and Amul done right?

The answer lies in the power of Content in their communications.

In this internet-driven age, there has been a lot of talk around digital marketing and the needs for businesses to have online presence.

The question arises, how many brands are actually able to leverage the benefits of being able to reach

1

Brand.I | February 2015

out to a massive online audience?

Not many. Dearth of engaging content being a major reason.

Today’s customer is adept at screening information— he can conveniently ignore banner ads during online surfing. At the same time, however, he is hungry for information that is of relevance and use to him.

Enter Content Marketing.

What exactly is Content Marketing?

According to Content Marketing Institute, “Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.”

Basically, it’s promotion of a product or service through creation and sharing of free, valuable content. The information could be in the form of news, articles, videos, social media posts, blogs, pictures etc. It is not pushy.

Content Marketing is not a distinct form of marketing. Quality content has been an imperative ingredient in social media marketing, PR strategies, etc.

Brand.I | February 2015

What’s the difference between advertising online and content marketing?

Unlike advertisements, content marketing doesn’t interrupt your online experience. While in advertisements, the focus is on pitching the product/service, in content marketing it is to make the consumer more informed. The information you share is, of course, closely linked to your product or service.

The FMCG giant Unilever successfully used content marketing in a more subtle way than its traditional advertising, to target female customers. Called BeBeautiful.in, the site provides useful information while at the same time making Unilever’s products available for the viewers to consider.

It became very popular and formed an instant connect with the female consumers online.

Content is King.

There is nothing better than a piece of original and interactive content.

Smart marketers know that today’s consumer prefers valuable information to advertising while making purchase decisions. Also, great content generates great word-of-mouth buzz and spreads wide through social media sites.

It catches the reader off-guard, interests him and looks more credible than advertising campaigns.

While the fundamentals of good content remain the same, the need of the hour is to adapt to the changes in channels, tactics, and changing consumer behaviour. Smartphones and the power of mobile applications cannot be ignored, and hence the need for smartphone friendly mobile content too.

Videos play a major role in Content Marketing as great storytelling tools.

Vogue India has been able to effectively use

YouTube in marketing its content. Its social awareness campaign called #VogueEmpower has a series of short, powerful videos which have generated much exposure.

A lot of digital marketing tools like native Advertising, sponsored posts, inbound marketing, SEO, PPC etc. trace their roots to good Content. It is the present of marketing and looks like the future too. Content is definitely on the rise, but businesses must ensure it targets the right audience at the right time. Another challenge that lies for content marketers in 2015 is to connect their activities to desired outcome— creating a performance scorecard and measuring the ROI.

“Help, don’t sell; talk, don’t yell; show, don’t tell.”

Exchange

‘The stock exchange of brands’

by

Chirag Mahajan

CMO(Chief Marketing Officer) of an organization comes to office in a hurry and calls for an urgent meeting to respond to a 3% decrease in BV( Brand Value) at Brand-Exchange due to low customer interaction by the brand at social-media platforms as compared to the industry standards in past few weeks. Thus, it was decided to add more resources to the Customer Relation Management Team.

Gone are the days when marketing used to be a try and test function.

Today, Marketing is no longer a spending department as it was considered to be, but it has emerged as the most budgetconscious departments due to conservative approach to fund allocation these days. Marketing platforms, like the financial instruments, are nowadays seen as a fixed-return based investment options. Result-oriented marketing plan and monitoring has increased the scope of marketing function to realize the cost of efforts being put into brand communication and the pitch of voice created in the audience through them.

Today’s trend is not only marketing your portfolio

Brand.I | February 2015

efficiently at various available platforms but also measuring the efficiency of your marketing campaigns or plans and taking corrective measures. Organizations are very particular about the returns on their marketing spends and are investing on building spend analysis dashboards which helps the marketing team to closely monitor the KPIs( Key Performance Indicators) of the their marketing spend. Also, companies are engaging Brand Consulting firms to identify the factors at which they need to be highly agile in order to sustain in the industry of their operation.

Brand.I | February 2015

To anticipate the future of current trends (i.e subjective analysis for brand assessment), consider the following questions: How does Unilever benchmark a campaign for a product on real-time basis with 10 competitors?

How much are Unilever’s current activities adding to its brand equity?

On what communication factors does Unilever lag and by how much w.r.t industry standards?

Qualitative research and measurement by brand consulting firms brings subjectivity and variation to the answers of above questions. There is no option to real-time tracking of brand equities and ROIs. Neither are there any listed measurable marketing sub-units nor any ranking mechanism to score brand engagements given by Sir Kotler.

7

Brand.I | February 2015

Thus, current trend and disabilities will lead to the establishment of Central Brand Assessment body which can set marketing standards and define rating mechanism of activities for quantitative analysis of Brands.

This body can also act as an exchange facilitator where brands are traded on their brand values rather than the stock values. Like a stock exchange gives a good insight about the financial health of stocks, quantitative analysis of BrandW activities by an exchange will lead to: • Better brand-informed customers, • Better tracking of campaigns, • Defined marketing benchmarks, • New innovation in marketing function, • Better recognition for marketing

efforts, • New marketing-dimensions, and • Tough competition among the brands.

Brand Exchange will monitor and rate the brands on real-time basis on the following factors: Broad Brand Analysis Factors: -Marketing Strategy Index: Brand’s marketing plans rated on tactics employed to achieve the organizational goals.

-Innovation Index: Capability of brand to innovate in its marketing strategies at a constant pace.

-Agility Index: Capability to respond to the changes in the operating environment.

-Leadership & Management Index: Clarity of communication and the degree of trust leaders bring for brand.

Detailed Marketing Factors: -Return on Investment (ROI) Indicator: Measures how much marketing wealth (sales, brand equity, credibility) is created in campaigns compared to the cost of running the campaigns.

-Social Media Engagement Indicator: Measure the cost efficiency of engagement levels of the social media campaigns.

-Incremental Sale Indicator: Measures how cost effective your marketing campaigns are

at increasing the sale numbers.

-Cost Per Lead Indicator: Measures the effectiveness of marketing campaigns at generating leads for each dollar spent on that campaign.

The rating on all the above factors will give a cumulative Brand Value( BV) score to every brand. Such rating on real-time basis would allow the brands to adapt and perform at the highest potentials at every second of the day.

For eg. if a company gets low score of agility index, it will hurriedly look on the parameters controlling it, say it is technology adoption at a low pace, to take measures to increase the rate of adoption and also take measures to gauge emerging trends in the industry.

It may change the course of campaign if it monitors low ROIs. Brand Exchange, which monitors, rates and facilitates exchange on brand values, will set the tone for today’s emerging trends in the marketing function.

selfie

marketing The billion dollar madness by

Deepak Mann

The obsessive trend amongst the so called ‘pretentious’ teens of clicking oneself to act cool, has actually turned to be the coolest and most fun thing on social media. The selfie wave has grown to such an extent that it has become one of the most hashtaged words on Instagram, is used by people worldwide, and we have also seen songs been made with this theme!

What is interesting though is that this hugely followed craziness has lead to numerous innovations and marketing strategies. The large audience and the scope of innovation has appealed to the marketing societies to adapt and utilize this common obsessive need for selfies into an unique selling property.

A marketer may use selfies of employees to help his company build authenticity of employee satisfaction rather than the mundane well directed videos. On the other hand, selfies of customers while using their product can help create value and new customers via recommendations. And if not any of the above, a selfie is just good enough to share a smile or a laugh, adding positive image to the brand.

Brand.I | February 2015

Brand.I | February 2015

In India, we have seen a huge share of innovations in the mobile segment to accommodate the selfie culture, be it Samsung’s Galaxy Prime’s wide angled front camera best suited for groupfies, or Panasonic’s Eluga S which clicks with a blink. Sony figured out ways to blind yourself by adding flash in the front cam, while Lava Iris Selfie 50 became pioneer in using the word ‘selfie’ in the name of the phone itself! Even Hritik Roshan is endorsing OPPO Mobile N1, the phone with a selfie clicker! Nokia, Apple, Motorola, Micromax and LG have all come up with their share of upgradation too.

The scope of using this viral trend isn’t just limited to this; instead many of the other members of the mobile industry have been active in adapting too. Hundreds of apps have also been built to make your duck faced pics look as pretty as your wedding photos. Several apps have thrived using this concept to the maximum, eg. Snapchat, a platform where you can share photographs about whatever you are upto. Many other mobile app’s TV advertisements have ingeniously and occasionally smartly incorporated the selfie culture.

Even outside the mobile segment, many other leading brands have run campaigns online asking people to post selfies with opportunities to get featured on their website or just for Brand.I | FebruaryVodafone’s 2015 reward money. campus selfie campaign was amongst the first of this sort.

The key to marketing success of this madness is not only the market it creates but it also helps to create various segments for mobile and related industries. It helps differentiate customers with respect to demographics, psychographic and by far stretched logic behavioral aspects too. Hence it gives a better understanding of the market and if properly utilized can help create a customer base of its own.

It’s been an amazing journey as to how making a duck face in front of a cam has become a billion dollar industry in itself. It sure is bizarre, but in a world where we witness Oscar selfies and Obama selfies, who can doubt the reach and power of a single click/blink/touch/ smile of your mobile’s front cam.

Video Marketing Ad World’s new Fetish? by

Raunaq Kalia When Ranveer Singh did the Rex on computer and smartphone screens across India, for the condom brand – Durex, a lot changed over-night. The power of moving images with sound and animation was unleashed over the Indian cyber world. Since then, more and more brands have started coming up with long-form Ads specially created for the Digital space.

Be it the heart-warming Kindle Ad or the emotional Sundrop one, marketers are trying to engage with the audience on a deeper level. These long-form versions of their 20 second primetime TV counterparts, have a meaningful story, are generally not trying to sell the brand directly and have an element of raw emotional appeal.

Brand.I | February 2015

` Google started this trend in India with the ‘Reunion’ video which was first seen on YouTube. It’s a beautiful story about two friends separated during the partition and how the granddaughter of one plans to reunite the two aged mates with a little help from Google. It instantly is able to establish a connection with the Indian viewer as the stories of partition have been passed down to us by our grandparents, mass media, even our textbooks in school. Not just that, the feeling associated with the Brand after watching the video is that of trust, commitment and oneness. This doesn’t happen at a cognitive level but at very emotional or affective level of the attitude building process.

Thomson, MacInnis, and Park in their 2005 research paper suggest that as a construct that describes the strength of the bond connecting the consumer with the brand, attachment is critical because it should affect behaviours that foster brand profitability and customer lifetime value. Are marketers then, by creating these bonds, trying to change and build attitudes corresponding to their brands? The construct hasn’t been proven empirically but there is surely a critical relationship between attachment and the attitude associated with the brand. With attitude branding, your brand contributes to the consumer's sense of identity and self-expression. In today’s world of social media, self-expression is becoming more and more important to people and brands are one of the common ways to project one’s personality to the world.

Let’s look at two of the recent popular Ads on YouTube to verify this proposition and to try and find out if brands are trying to inculcate attitudes with these videos.

1.

Welcome to Ilha de Calma – Diu

This Advertisement for Diu Tourism, which is running on TV now with a 30 seconder was actually a 2 minute YouTube video. We see a working woman leading a busy life and trapped in the vicious circle of eat, work, eat, work, eat, sleep, repeat. Finally, she wakes up to a pleasant sea breeze and a beach with a lighthouse, calming waves and cool dark caves. Do we see places being named or star attractions being marketed? No. All you get to experience is a feeling. A feeling that makes you want to take a break, smell the sea laden air on the beach and take naps in the warm sand. Is that not an attitude building process? Well, it is not revolutionizing like the Mumbai Mirror Ads but it is definitely serving its purpose.

The Odonil YouTube Campaign

I was ready for my daily dose of Buzzfeed, when this hilarious video interrupted me. I had the option of skipping the Ad but it really grabbed my attention. A newly wed sassy Punjabi girl complains about the relatives of her in-laws and questions her decision to get married in this family. Why? Because they don’t have Odonil in their bathroom. After searching online, I found out that this was a series of videos in different Indian languages. The Marathi Ad features a woman in Bombay making fun of a friend who boasts about her plush apartment in South Bombay but doesn’t have Odonil in the bathroom. All these videos have great comic timing and are short and crisp. The brand, by constantly bombarding you with these videos about the necessity of Odonil in you homes, is subconsciously drilling the thought in your head. The next time you see Odonil in the aisle of a supermarket, you are absolutely consider buying it. Do we hear about the beautiful fragrances or the special odour eliminating properties? No. They are just trying to dwell of the feeling of insecurity in the buyer’s mind.

Video marketing on YouTube is being taken seriously by all major Indian brand for many reasons – there is too much clutter on TV, digital entertainment is popular among the youth, it is economical and most importantly, time is not an issue if your content is engaging. But, will we see a remarkable change in Ad spending patterns and a shift towards video marketing online in 2015? Only time will tell but till then, I have some YouTubin’ to do!

Brand Engagement Techniques and scope by

Anshul Jain “Every ride is an escape with a sense of freedom found nowhere else, each road trip is and adventure that gives us lifelong memories.”

Karen Davidson, great grand daughter of William Davidson who was the founder of Harley- Davidson bikes quoted this statement, in the company's efforts to grab the attention of women in US as customers for their bikes. The step was being taken after CBS showed a research that 23% of the motorcyclists in US are women.

Harley’s hard work to engage this market have been well planned, dedicated and consistent. Check out their web site, click on the Women Riders link and get ready to be ‘wow’d’ by the detail of information that is highly relevant to the female rider.

Come to India, the brand name which is now equivalent to product category name is constantly working upon a social or mass engagement with its customers.

Yes I am talking about Maggie. The campaign it started called as "Meri Maggie".

How clever and yet highly strategic this program was in creating and building brand/customer loyalty. Each packet thereafter, had a different back label, featuring a different customer enjoying the product, along with their name, location and unique story identified under the photo.

Brand.I | February 2015

#6 Now to hone in on the message of this article. Nestle Maggie is not just a company manufacturing and distributing a variety of 2 minute noodle and Harley is not just a motorcycle maker. These brands have deep passion revolving the ‘essence’ of what their brand outbring and work to be on their toes of how their customers experience their goods and services to develops emotional bonds with them. The storytelling is the most trending method of brand engagement, but without association of authentic values may create hindrance in your path of brand engagement.

Some of the significant considerations for effective brand engagement: Brand values - what is your brand about and who for? Define and embrace what’s true about your brand, and make sure you can back up the stories and philosophy you put forth.

Generate Meaning- do not just present data but create meaning by associating it with your brand value and try to present it in a narrative style.

Inspire people- now in this point the only thing which come to my mind is Steve Jobs giving presentation or his storytelling art of apple. These stories motivates people in solving complexity in their lives.

Brand Experiences- Include people in your storytelling, which generates a source of realism for a alien person towards your brand.

With the birth of the internet, its power and the capabilities of social media – Businessmen of small and mid-sized

businesses all over the world can leverage the essence of what their brand delivers like never before. That’s where your brand’s unique gene comes into play—your core essence. You have the ability to quickly and fairly inexpensively (sometimes FREE) reach the global market onthe-fly and engage and educate your best, most targeted audience with your intended unique brand experience. Now is the time to think bigger, more creatively, and be more humanistic – tapping into the human element of emotion by creating multi-sensory experiences at every customer touch point, but relevantly to your unique Brand genes.

Brand Voyage Team India’s World Cup Journey with Technology 1979, Nitin comes to know via the newspaper that from the next week, the World Cup is going to take place in England and the Indian team has reached the host’s destination. He goes to a nearby telephone booth and calls his friend to intimate him about the event and asks to join him for the match. On the day of the match, Nitin and his friend sit close to the radio and come to know about the playing eleven. They didn’t know about two of the players but could not do much about it. Gavaskar’s four could only be visualized through a voice which produced more noise than information.

2015, Nitin has been listening to and watching advertisements about the world cup for more than one month now. He has been on various portals to make the best eleven and has asked his Facebook friends to compete on the same portal. He follows the entire team on Facebook and twitter where he even knows where Virat and Anushka are having a good time. He comments on one of Virat’s posts to put some brains into the game and criticizes Dhoni for not playing Yuvraj Singh. He has a whatsapp group to discuss the plans for the game and cracks jokes about Shikhar Dhawan’s moustache. On the day of the match, Nitin subscribes to TataSky’s HD pack where Star Sports is delivering HD visuals and giving him various language options. He congratulates Anushka for Virat’s century over twitter.

Such dramatic has been the journey of Cricket World Cup. A mix of marketing opportunities technological advancements has attracted a lot of money and has changed the dimension of the game. The game is becoming brighter and colorful with the sponsors and media partner’s deep pockets. Prudence Plc, the sponsor for 1975 cup, awarded the winning team with 4000 Pounds(Rs 72,000) whereas for 2015, commercial

sponsors are shelling out 4Million USD(Rs 24 Cr). Indian marketers are spending around Rs 700Cr this year to leverage this event to get a glimpse from large spectator base in India. It is these marketers which created a celebration difference between 1983 and 2011 world cup wins.

Technology improvements have brought us closer to the game. Today, I come to know before the umpire tells whether the ball hit the bat or not, was it a no-ball or not, what Afridi said to Rahane and what is wrong with the bowler’s bowling length. While some say that technology upgrades are removing the human element in the game, it has helped many countries in the past to secure the crown.

Last but not the least , there is a huge change in the attitude of the teams playing the world cup. Today’s players are more positive and aggressive than ever before. The adventure of T20 format and competition has changed the underlying assumptions of the game. Sunil Gavaskar’s 36*runs off 174 balls in 1975 are a far cry from today’s scoring habits(264 runs off 173 balls).

The gentlemen’s game is not anymore for gentleman. It’s a cut throat competition game where hard words are said and taken. Public mocking is done before the game to miniscule the opposition. Strategies are formed to focus on the opposition’s weaknesses. Teams considered to be shy once are showing their seniors a way to deal through words and aggression.

To summarize it all, the platform has grown to be more interesting.

boylla DEFINITION OF 'BRAND PERSONALITY' A set of human characteristics that are attributed to a brand name. A brand personality is something to which the consumer can relate, and an effective brand will increase its brand equity by having a consistent set of traits. This is the addedvalue that a brand gains, aside from its functional benefits. There are five main types of brand personalities: excitement, sincerity, ruggedness, competence and sophistication.

Customers are more likely to purchase a brand if its personality is similar to their own.

How would a brand portray its personality?

Brands try to portray themselves as an ideal or a relatable figure, eg. Motherly , so that the consumer may relate the characteristics of a mother with the brand. The marketer in return is able to derive a positive image. The possible characteristics he is able to relate with the brand could be- loving, caring, concerned etc.

We have chosen to name our brand “Amore” which means “Love” in Italian. We chose this name as it embodies the love and care we put in while designing the concept and manufacturing our brand of chips.

At Amore, we make sure that you receive only the choicest ingredients sourced from across the world in order to create a premium snacking brand that is a class apart.

Amore stands not only for the love which we put in our product but also the love of fitness and love of a healthy and active life that consumers today aspire for. In a market dominated by fried snacks, Amore is for those who crave taste and crunch but do not want to feel guilty about what they are eating. It is for people who are increasingly giving importance to their daily intake of calories and are subsequently focused on eating right.

The poster aims to follow a minimalist approach with the black scales offsetting the orange background, and drawing the consumers’ attention to the centre of the frame, which conveys our key message.

The word “FRIED” has been struck off on the side of the lighter chips to indicate that Amore offers a new baked snacking alternative, in the world full of unhealthy, oily and fattening food options- this is our key differentiator.

Our tagline, “DeLITE in Every Bite” reflects our value proposition that not only does Amore score high on the health factor; it also impresses consumers in terms of taste.
