These slides are from a presentation by Laurence Vincent, UTA Brand Studio Chief Branding Officer, at the 2014 South by Southwest Interactive festival. It includes data from a Brand Dependence study on leading social media brands. It is not a complete record of the presentation.
21. Insight
Liking a brand is not
the same as feeling
a brand is like you.

“I make it a point to buy
brands from companies
whose values are similar
to my own.”

Prominent

@lvincent
A LOT LIKE ME
#brandattch
People see the brand as being a lot
like themselves; sharing their values.
Prominence
Thoughts and feelings about the
brand come to mind automatically;
requiring very little conscious effort.
26. UTA Brand Studio
Two questions to ask
The Identity Question
What about my brand connects with
my target audience’s identity?
The Experience Question
How can I create experiences that consistently
summon identity-relevant thoughts and feelings
about my brand.

Brand experience
Sensations, feelings
and thoughts that
are evoked by a

communications,
and environments.

How to create dependence
Stand for a worldview.
Ask: how to be indispensable?
Create strong thoughts, feelings and behaviors
through compelling brand experiences.
Think beyond features and functionality. What will
make your brand a surrogate for your consumer?
Focus on the early majority.
