Episode notes
Brand Is Deliberate Pairing Through An Outcome
- Branding is a deliberate pairing of your offering with experiences or outcomes your customers want.
- Alex uses Coca-Cola: pair drinking (action) with yum (outcome) so customers reach for Coca-Cola next time.
Bud Light Example Shows Advertising Isn’t Branding
- Alex uses the Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney collaboration to distinguish advertising from branding.
- He calls it good advertising (awareness) but bad branding because the pairing offended many core customers.
Pair A Weak Brand With What Customers Already Love
- Start with a weak brand and deliberately pair it with things your ideal customers already like to make it strong.
- Example: Little Nike pairs with LeBron/Tiger to attract sports fans, then sells higher-priced shirts for that association.
