An interesting report on what the next normal will look like was published by McKinsey & Company . The overall message of 'get better at understanding DTC and price sensitivity' is solid in my opinion. The one thing I take issue with is the use of the phrase "brand purpose." It implies that all brands need to be cause-driven. They don't. What brands actually need is a clear understanding of what role they play in consumers' lives. One that is viewed through the lens of next order benefits. During this crisis, those who have that clarity have stood in stark contrast with those that don't. Take Anheuser-Busch InBev 's Michelob Ultra. Yes, they make and sell light beer. But by being able to understand the next order benefits of their brand, they're able to respond with an initiative and advertising like this. And it has nothing to do with "brand purpose" and everything to do with understanding what role their brand plays in their customers' lives. Now, more than ever, consumers are going to expect clarity and honesty about what a brand is. Forcing "brand purpose" into a company that is not already purpose-driven runs in the opposite direction. #brand #brandpositioning #brand #brandstrategy #marketing #advertising #mickinsey #abibev #coronavirus #covid19 #brandpurpose …see more

I want to encourage folks to buy books as gifts. They are a gift that keeps on giving. Whether children’s books or adult books, reading brings out the imagination and creativity in us all. Books can transport us — fiction, non-fiction, table tops, children’s stories, poetry..... of course I hope you will buy my books but the point is to encourage the purchase of books and giving away books as gifts. Happy Holidays. …see more
