Directors:

Agnès Rovira

Create brands with an identity that generates customer loyalty and business.

Options for a brand:

1) Compete in price or functional superiority (investment in R&D).

2) Construct an identity with meaning (off and online).

A successful brand is one that

creates a brand identity based on

values and an inspiring personality, proposing

experiences that stimulate

peoples’ creativity.

Today, people participate in brand creation ,in their histories and experiences, building a community.

Brand Identity 1.0 sought out differences in the

product.

Brand Identity 2.0 created proposals based on emotional benefits.

Branding 3.0 creates humanised brands, based on

values and personality, that react with

peoples’ creativity, enabling co-creation and dialogue between the brand and its audience.

Let’s start our heroic journey to branding 3.0.
