Our point of view

Fame is the fundamental value
that strong brands own.
Fame. A four letter word, easy to talk about - easy, even, to identify. And yet fame is anything but simple, and making a brand famous is very hard to do. Perhaps that is why so many modern marketers appear to dismiss fame as being frivolous and a bit too much like show business.
Nowadays, marketing has been reduced to short-term tactics and comms 'experts' who prefer to obsess over 'brand essences', mar-tech data, and false dichotomies like 'brand vs performance' and 'digital vs traditional'.
As a result, meaningful differentiation and distinctiveness have never been less evident, and decision making has been reduced to the status of laboratory rat-hood. The end result is a deluge of intrusive, dreary, self-centered and devitalized advertising that doesn't move people.
"Most ads are a total waste of money because people ignore them or they don’t remember who it was behind the ad."
Mark Ritson, Marketing Week
That's why I believe in getting back to basics and aiming for fame.
Not convinced? Well, thankfully, research has at last come to my aid.
A rigorous study of the most comprehensive library of provenly effective marketing case studies has managed to plot the difference in effectiveness between campaigns that were poorly differentiated in their branding, and indistinctive in their communication, and the memorable ads that built salience and positive emotional affect - aka fame.
Now you're probably thinking that this is all very well for marketing consumer goods, but, does it apply to B2B, where decisions are surely dispassionate and unswayed by the glamour of a famous name?
There is no such thing as a purely rational decision, in business or anywhere else. We all want to feel safe; we all want to feel excited; we all want to feel we have what others will admire. The famous brand is more likely to deliver all these emotional benefits, and so, when other things are equal - or imponderable - it will be more likely to win the contract.
"The most important search engine is still the one in somebody’s head."
