1. From brand promise to brand behaviour
• In the past: differentiation through brand promise and innovations
• Today: real innovation is rare and all brands promise the same.
• How you act has become more important than what you say. “Act” instead of “say”.
• FROM a brand promise TO a Brand Attitude.

2. From 360°C to 365 days
• 360° is about translating the same message by the same creative idea at all media.
• However, today the brand doesn’t manages 100% of the relation anymore.
• More and more, the consumer defines when and where he wants to be in contact with your brand. A brand needs to be at disposal at all times.

2. From 360°C to 365 days
• Build a relationship with our consumers beyond the moment they buy a ticket to London.
• It’s about an everyday lives interaction.
• Each time relevant information/ added value, which enrich their day to day life.
• The emotional link build step by step will result in real trust.

2. From 360°C to 365 days
How does Eurostar realizes that?
A campaign is always more than ad.
It’s always about a strong & relevant consumer insight which will really make a difference in our consumer day to day life,
AND we’ll always find a way to engage with our consumer, to offer them the opportunity to enter in relationship with the brand.
Some examples…

3. From a one off consumer to a real ambassador
• In the past: attract new consumers via a push approach.
• Afterwards, started the era of loyalty, CRM, etc… (because of recruitment costs)
• Today: Consumer-actor, Word of Mouth, trust in Peers… The consumer as to be part of the media plan, we need to provide him added value in order to turn him in real ambassador.
