Editor's Notes
- #2: What I will take you through is my opinion. I’ve seen behind the curtain on many business, ran some, and it’s led me to this. I don’t think you’ll agree to it all but that’s great. It is engaging with the content that’s key. Leverage the right tech – right tech solution is up to you, I’m not here to sell something, I want you to be asking the right question to the tech and the brief
- #3: I was in a similar conference and a CMO got up and asked this. They couldn’t answer. Stutters all over the show. I thought about it, this is it. As we go on the journey to this point, what we need to infuse and put front and centre.
- #4: But hold on, Who is the smart person in the front, I know what you are thinking. Innovation. CX will always move on. Yes. There will always be those ahead but if everyone is good, the difference between poor and great is good and great and smaller change. Bar of excellence is achievable. But let’s take advertising. Creepy seesaw of personalisation, tech and what’s right for the consumer?
- #5: Basic but we complicate it and get lost in infinity personalization loops, so boil it down.
- #6: If replicated by your competition, it becomes technical, not experience related. Replicated. How it makes me feel? What ties me to it? Currently, 54% of all brands are generic. There is the opportunity.
- #7: fMRI neuro-imagery shows that when evaluating brands, consumers primarily use emotions (personal feelings and experiences) rather than information (brand attributes, features, and facts). Feelings determine our actions. Yet we are only aware of a fraction of what we feel. Awareness – emotional processing – embodied cognition Gerald Edelman – Nobel Prize winer: Brains operate not by logic but by pattern recognition. Before we speak, we think in metaphor – only species to do it on the planet. 6-8 per minute. They frame our thinking, thoughts and feelings. Products and brands are metaphors. Words are maps to emotions, words reveals psychology. Imagery jogs memory and speeds up the journey on the map. What do you say How do you think Why do you exists Who are you
- #10: How do I take an abstract I’ve heard a million times and action it. Tool/ way of thinking?
- #11: Every touchpoint, tech and recommendation it’s about this not a brand line or overall vision I’m a strategist, of course it means something more!
- #12: Ties isn’t the ingredient – the most emotional thing is ---- YOU. From the language to the planning, put yourself into your company’s CX. Not work you, all proper and acronyms from out of nowhere, but you at home. You – the human. Your staff. Drive of you is the USP and takes it from being a tech powered CX to person centred USP
- #13: Icreate social brands, brands for now, brands for the future, brands that will last
