WHY PEOPLE TALK
                  eight ways to inspire conversation about your brand



©2011 22squared
The upside of conversation:




                  Nearly 80% of consumers trust recommendations from family, friends and
                  “influential” persons over all other forms of advertising and marketing. (Keller Fay)


                  Simply put, word of mouth is earned media. If your marketing can inspire word of
                  mouth, your message will extend beyond paid media and your campaign will be
                  exponentially more e ective. It may be free, but it’s not easy.

Word of mouth can lift sales.
                  It can strengthen relationships between people and brands.

                  The question is, how do you create work that gets people talking?

                  So we created a new Planning framework
                  (to be used like brand archetypes) that
                  leads to marketing that consistently
                  inspires word of mouth.




                           Ready? Here they are.

                                                            can inspire talk...

1. Make NEW RULES




              When: When do brands change the rules? Usually, when they’re about to die, or when
              they’re entering a category that has remained unchanged for a long time. Changing
              the rules is bold. It takes a bold new marketing approach, or a bold new product.

              How: Find a convention or understanding that exists in the minds of consumers, and
              shatter it. Consumers often develop schema that lets them make decisions without
              having to think about them each time. Brands must find this psychological framework,
              then introduce something new to get people talking. The key is to be the clear
              alternative to existing choices, to create a space unoccupied by other brands.

1. Make NEW RULES
     Reframe the marketing space, or deliberately break convention. For example:




              VIRGIN                                   TWELPFORCE                         HYUNDAI ASSURANCE
              Most airlines treat people like cargo.   Turned Best Buy’s built-in asset   They invented it, the press
              Virgin treats them like rock stars.      (geeks) into a business-changing   loved it, customers embraced

     Reframe the marketing space, or deliberately break convention. For example:




                  AXE                                SOUTHWEST                              KOHLER
                  Men’s soap ads were full of        Operationally revolutionary, and       Toilets. Faucets. Kohler markets

     Another way is to break convention. What is your industry known for doing? Do something very di erent. For example:




                  mySTARBUCKS                           WHOPPER SACRIFICE                       JOHNNIE WALKER

2. Market a BELIEF




         When: When a brand is passionate about something that is bigger than itself. Successful
         belief marketing takes conviction, passion and commitment. If a belief doesn’t exist in the DNA
         of the company, then it will be a short-lived marketing gimmick consumers will see through.

         How: Strive to be socially significant. Belief brands do more than improve the lives of their
         customer; they make the world a better place. Find a passion that intersects the brand, the
         product, and the consumer. A philosophy dedicated to a larger ultimate goal than sales.


©2011 22squared
2. Market a BELIEF
     When a brand decides to make the world a better place, customers get behind it. For example:




                  PEPSI: REFRESH PROJECT                    DOVE                               METHOD
                  This campaign hits so many triggers:      They believe the beauty industry   They believe the soap industry’s
                  belief, express, belonging ... but most   sets harmful standards, and        chemicals aren’t clean, and they
                  of all, participation.                    celebrate “real beauty” instead.   show us a better way.

     When a brand decides to make the world a better place, customers get behind it. For example:




             DAWN                             HAAGEN-DAZS                              PEDIGREE

             can help, as well as sell.       the supply chain. (save the bees)        can buy to help adoptions.

3. Create a sense of BELONGING




                  When: When the success of your brand depends on being adopted by a group
                  of people. Marketing to a group is different than marketing to many individuals.
                  There’s power in numbers. And when consumers feel a part of something, when
                  they collaborate or unify, they can create true change.


                  How: Identify the group that must adopt the brand and understand their defining
                  characteristics. Once that’s understood, the brand needs to give them a way to act
                  together. Provide them a movement they can join. Help them connect with each
                  other. Organize collaborative consumption that allows the group to achieve
                  something, identify themselves, and act as a social unit.


©2011 22squared
3. Create a sense of BELONGING
     Feeling part of something is a powerful appeal, a movement, a game, or a lifestyle. For example:




              NIKE PLUS                            FORD FIESTA                              I’M WITH COCO

     Feeling part of something is a powerful appeal, a movement, a game, or a lifestyle. For example:




                  LEVIS                          THE GREAT SCHLEP                           BUFFALO WILD WINGS

4. Enable EXPRESSION




                  When: When the brand can stand out by letting go and handing over the
                  microphone. Or when the brand is ready to make a statement and become a “badge
                  brand.” Consumers won’t choose a brand to make a statement if the brand doesn’t
                  make a statement itself. It can be about a belief, but more often it’s playful, and
                  reflects pure personality.

                  How: Be a conduit. Allow people to say something about themselves. Give them
                  a podium, a soapbox, a canvas, a song, website, a paint brush...a way to imprint
                  themselves on your brand. Or, be a brand that says something about the person
                  using it. Reflect a desired lifestyle or attribute they want to express. A brand that
                  allows consumers to say something about themselves never loses its voice.


©2011 22squared
4. Enable EXPRESSION
     When people are given a platform, they’ll use it, then keep talking about what they did. For example:




                                                    LIVESTRONG CHALKBOT                         MINI
           HSBC SOAPBOX

5. CREATE or CURATE culture




                  When: When a stronger relationship can be built around a piece of social currency
                  than the product itself. When it’s critical to be relevant and current in the changing
                  media landscape. Some groups are best reached through curated consumption.
                  When your target consumes media filtered through peers and influencers.

                  How: Have a very defined target and be attuned to what they love; brands can
                  benefit from association. Always look where your audience is heading. Iterate on
                  things before they’re passe’. Find gems and help them become more famous. On
                  the other hand, marketing that becomes a part of culture (i.e. virals, catchphrases)
                  requires commitment to entertainment above all else. This can put the brand as a
                  character in a larger plot. Brands must be willing to be polarizing. It takes a keen
                  understanding of what the target finds fascinating, funny, or socially empowering.

5. Create or Curate CULTURE
     It used to be “cool by association.” Now it’s also useful, connecting people to what they love. For example:




         THE CREATORS PROJECT                    ABSOLUT                                   CONVERSE

6. Leverage TENSION




                  When: Most brands shy away from tension. It’s risky, scary and sometimes
                  controversial, but it also makes people take note. People talk about tension.
                  They talk about controversy. They talk about brands that actively participate
                  in it. Tension isn’t always bad. In fact, it presents a solvable situation that often
                  makes a brand talk-worthy, and sometime even the hero.

                  How: Three ways: create it, solve it, or embrace it. Creating tension takes
                  the courage to create work that makes people take a side, or perhaps point
                  fingers. Solving tension takes the insight to understand where tension exists.
                  You must be so attuned with your target that you can solve problems not
                  found in traditional research. Embracing tension takes the resolve to
                  address controversy, rise above it, and use it to a brand’s advantage.

6. Leverage TENSION
     A controversy, unfulfilled promise, or cultural paradox can create tension. And conversation. For example:




          DOMINO’S                                NIKE: LEBRON/TIGER                       DIESEL
          They leapt into a tough position with   Nike embraces sports controversy         Taking the indefensible position,
          brutal honesty and accountability.      again and again. And again.              they give us dubious advice and
          result: pizza turnaround.                                                        a lot to talk about.

     A controversy, unfulfilled promise, or cultural paradox can create tension. And conversation. For example:




              VICTORIA’S SECRET                 GATORADE REPLAY                         PHILIPS HEIST

              An impossible balance.            was palpable.                           look away.




©2011 22squared
7. Use SCARCITY




                  When: When exclusivity matters to your audience. When you want to launch a
                  product or brand with a groundswell and have the patience to do a slow rollout
                  instead of a full blast broadcast launch. When you want your brand to be
                  adopted, not just purchased or used.

                  How: Identify those who will view limited access to your product as a privilege.
                  Leveraging scarcity means placing limits on things. Create invitation only acquisition
                  or experiences. Seed special hints, information, or betas with influential consumers.

8. Encourage PLAY




                  When: When your audience values competition. Sometimes that means pitting
                  consumers against consumers. Sometimes that means making consumers beat
                  the brand. Competition creates conversation. Today, when nearly everything is a
                  game, brands that play usually win.

                  How: Gaming = engagement. Whenever you can get consumers to invest time into
                  the brand and you adequately reward them, talk will ensue. Inciting play takes four
                  key ingredients: 1) an enemy, 2) a challenge, 3) a worthy reward, and 4) FUN. The
                  game depends on the target, as does the reward. Oftentimes the reward is social
                  currency like peer recognition or bragging rights.

Why People Talk

  • 1. WHY PEOPLE TALK eight ways to inspire conversation about your brand ©2011 22squared
  • 2. The upside of conversation: Nearly 80% of consumers trust recommendations from family, friends and “influential” persons over all other forms of advertising and marketing. (Keller Fay) Simply put, word of mouth is earned media. If your marketing can inspire word of mouth, your message will extend beyond paid media and your campaign will be exponentially more e ective. It may be free, but it’s not easy. ©2011 22squared
  • 3. Word of mouth can lift sales. It can strengthen relationships between people and brands. The question is, how do you create work that gets people talking? ©2011 22squared
  • 4. 8 So we created a new Planning framework (to be used like brand archetypes) that leads to marketing that consistently inspires word of mouth. Ready? Here they are. specific ways a brand can inspire talk... ©2011 22squared
  • 5. Make Market Create new a Belief Belonging Rules Enable Expression 8 PATHS TO TALK-WORTHY Create or Curate Culture WORK Leverage Use Encourage Tension Scarcity Play ©2011 22squared
  • 6. 1. Make NEW RULES When: When do brands change the rules? Usually, when they’re about to die, or when they’re entering a category that has remained unchanged for a long time. Changing the rules is bold. It takes a bold new marketing approach, or a bold new product. How: Find a convention or understanding that exists in the minds of consumers, and shatter it. Consumers often develop schema that lets them make decisions without having to think about them each time. Brands must find this psychological framework, then introduce something new to get people talking. The key is to be the clear alternative to existing choices, to create a space unoccupied by other brands. ©2011 22squared
  • 7. 1. Make NEW RULES Reframe the marketing space, or deliberately break convention. For example: VIRGIN TWELPFORCE HYUNDAI ASSURANCE Most airlines treat people like cargo. Turned Best Buy’s built-in asset They invented it, the press Virgin treats them like rock stars. (geeks) into a business-changing loved it, customers embraced digital connection. it, competitors imitated it. ©2011 22squared
  • 8. 1. Make NEW RULES con’t Reframe the marketing space, or deliberately break convention. For example: AXE SOUTHWEST KOHLER Men’s soap ads were full of Operationally revolutionary, and Toilets. Faucets. Kohler markets tired cliches. Axe said it could consistently acting as “the people’s them like they are works of art. get you laid with humor. airline.” The ads come naturally. And convinces us that they are. ©2011 22squared
  • 9. 1. Make NEW RULES con’t Another way is to break convention. What is your industry known for doing? Do something very di erent. For example: mySTARBUCKS WHOPPER SACRIFICE JOHNNIE WALKER A first for them, and for their While every other brand was Most luxury liquors give us empty industry; an unprecedented collecting fans, BK bribed us lifestyle images. JW gives us listening-to-action e ort. to burn them. strength and determination. ©2011 22squared
  • 10. 1. Make NEW RULES con’t Another way is to break convention. What is your industry known for doing? Do something very di erent. For example: IKEA ON FACEBOOK JACK IN THE BOX TRUTH No one had used photo tags on The unwritten rule of having Gave the anti-cigarette message Facebook like this before: tag a a spokesperson: don’t kill him. something it had never had before: piece of furniture to get it. They killed him. an enemy in big tobacco. ©2011 22squared
  • 11. 2. Market a BELIEF When: When a brand is passionate about something that is bigger than itself. Successful belief marketing takes conviction, passion and commitment. If a belief doesn’t exist in the DNA of the company, then it will be a short-lived marketing gimmick consumers will see through. How: Strive to be socially significant. Belief brands do more than improve the lives of their customer; they make the world a better place. Find a passion that intersects the brand, the product, and the consumer. A philosophy dedicated to a larger ultimate goal than sales. ©2011 22squared
  • 12. 2. Market a BELIEF When a brand decides to make the world a better place, customers get behind it. For example: PEPSI: REFRESH PROJECT DOVE METHOD This campaign hits so many triggers: They believe the beauty industry They believe the soap industry’s belief, express, belonging ... but most sets harmful standards, and chemicals aren’t clean, and they of all, participation. celebrate “real beauty” instead. show us a better way. ©2011 22squared
  • 13. 2. Market a BELIEF con’t When a brand decides to make the world a better place, customers get behind it. For example: DAWN HAAGEN-DAZS PEDIGREE They believe a large scale They believe ingredients matter, They believe every dog deserves demo of their gentle formula and when bees are at-risk, so is to be loved; like-minded shoppers can help, as well as sell. the supply chain. (save the bees) can buy to help adoptions. ©2011 22squared
  • 14. 3. Create a sense of BELONGING When: When the success of your brand depends on being adopted by a group of people. Marketing to a group is different than marketing to many individuals. There’s power in numbers. And when consumers feel a part of something, when they collaborate or unify, they can create true change. How: Identify the group that must adopt the brand and understand their defining characteristics. Once that’s understood, the brand needs to give them a way to act together. Provide them a movement they can join. Help them connect with each other. Organize collaborative consumption that allows the group to achieve something, identify themselves, and act as a social unit. ©2011 22squared
  • 15. 3. Create a sense of BELONGING Feeling part of something is a powerful appeal, a movement, a game, or a lifestyle. For example: NIKE PLUS FORD FIESTA I’M WITH COCO Connects you with a community of How do you get volunteer street teams When Conan O’Brien was getting runners online, to compete at your on steroids, crowd-sourced content jerked around by NBC, a movement level and encourage others. and spread? Call it a movement. sprung up on his side. ©2011 22squared
  • 16. 3. Create a sense of BELONGING con’t Feeling part of something is a powerful appeal, a movement, a game, or a lifestyle. For example: LEVIS THE GREAT SCHLEP BUFFALO WILD WINGS Their “we are all workers” This campaign brought an important People rally around their shared campaign is a call to arms influencer group together to swing passion for sports, so they became against a tough economy. Florida blue. a social hub for sports fans. ©2011 22squared
  • 17. 4. Enable EXPRESSION When: When the brand can stand out by letting go and handing over the microphone. Or when the brand is ready to make a statement and become a “badge brand.” Consumers won’t choose a brand to make a statement if the brand doesn’t make a statement itself. It can be about a belief, but more often it’s playful, and reflects pure personality. How: Be a conduit. Allow people to say something about themselves. Give them a podium, a soapbox, a canvas, a song, website, a paint brush...a way to imprint themselves on your brand. Or, be a brand that says something about the person using it. Reflect a desired lifestyle or attribute they want to express. A brand that allows consumers to say something about themselves never loses its voice. ©2011 22squared
  • 18. 4. Enable EXPRESSION When people are given a platform, they’ll use it, then keep talking about what they did. For example: LIVESTRONG CHALKBOT MINI HSBC SOAPBOX Ads for this “belief” brand are all about Using mass customization and digital Staging actual events and letting real expression. like viewer texts painted on toys, this “badge brand” lets people people vent makes for some great tv. the Tour de France course. say, this is who I am. ©2011 22squared

  • 20. 5. CREATE or CURATE culture When: When a stronger relationship can be built around a piece of social currency than the product itself. When it’s critical to be relevant and current in the changing media landscape. Some groups are best reached through curated consumption. When your target consumes media filtered through peers and influencers. How: Have a very defined target and be attuned to what they love; brands can benefit from association. Always look where your audience is heading. Iterate on things before they’re passe’. Find gems and help them become more famous. On the other hand, marketing that becomes a part of culture (i.e. virals, catchphrases) requires commitment to entertainment above all else. This can put the brand as a character in a larger plot. Brands must be willing to be polarizing. It takes a keen understanding of what the target finds fascinating, funny, or socially empowering. ©2011 22squared

  • 25. 6. Leverage TENSION When: Most brands shy away from tension. It’s risky, scary and sometimes controversial, but it also makes people take note. People talk about tension. They talk about controversy. They talk about brands that actively participate in it. Tension isn’t always bad. In fact, it presents a solvable situation that often makes a brand talk-worthy, and sometime even the hero. How: Three ways: create it, solve it, or embrace it. Creating tension takes the courage to create work that makes people take a side, or perhaps point fingers. Solving tension takes the insight to understand where tension exists. You must be so attuned with your target that you can solve problems not found in traditional research. Embracing tension takes the resolve to address controversy, rise above it, and use it to a brand’s advantage. ©2011 22squared
  • 26. 6. Leverage TENSION A controversy, unfulfilled promise, or cultural paradox can create tension. And conversation.

  • 28. 7. Use SCARCITY When: When exclusivity matters to your audience. When you want to launch a product or brand with a groundswell and have the patience to do a slow rollout instead of a full blast broadcast launch. When you want your brand to be adopted, not just purchased or used. How: Identify those who will view limited access to your product as a privilege. Leveraging scarcity means placing limits on things. Create invitation only acquisition or experiences. Seed special hints, information, or betas with influential consumers. ©2011 22squared *Source text blah blah blah

  • 31. 8. Encourage PLAY When: When your audience values competition. Sometimes that means pitting consumers against consumers. Sometimes that means making consumers beat the brand. Competition creates conversation. Today, when nearly everything is a game, brands that play usually win. How: Gaming = engagement. Whenever you can get consumers to invest time into the brand and you adequately reward them, talk will ensue. Inciting play takes four key ingredients: 1) an enemy, 2) a challenge, 3) a worthy reward, and 4) FUN. The game depends on the target, as does the reward. Oftentimes the reward is social currency like peer recognition or bragging rights. ©2011 22squared
