Did you just flip the cover of this book to see the cow and grass the right way? If so, you re already on your way to understanding a radical new idea: Behavior trumps branding. We can think about brands until, well, the cows come home, but unless your company and your consumers actually do things, branding is really a waste of time and money. You see, there s an ugly secret the experts don t want you to know: Consumers aren t paying attention anymore, and they don t believe or remember stuff anyway. So the traditional expectations of image and awareness are no longer valid. Since the digital world now connects people to one another as well as to your company your brochures, chat posts, or latest marketing tactics du jour better have real time, 24/7 behaviors attached to them. You simply can t expect to manipulate what people think when they and perhaps your competitors are already busy doing things. This is the first book that tells you why even the smartest, most memorable branding just doesn t seem to matter anymore. In every chapter, Baskin reveals the dynamic, cutting edge ways that brands are being reinvented around the world. Through detailed examples and checklists, he asks the tough questions that companies need to ask to get better answers...so you can start getting better results for your business.
