solving a specific problem. It is a

compelling story about discovering

the firm‟s unrealized possibilities.”

Page 59: Audacious Brand Building Through Differentiated Storytelling

1. Beachball Team

2. Brand audit…grade yourself

3. Dare to dream

4. Customer listening strategy

Page 60: Audacious Brand Building Through Differentiated Storytelling

5. What’s your story? And, your short short story?

6. How will you show and tell

your story so it is sticky?

7. Touchpoint prioritization

Page 61: Audacious Brand Building Through Differentiated Storytelling

1. Delivering benefits customers truly desire (Is there a system in place for customer feedback?)

2. Stays relevant (Investment in improvements? Marketing decisions based on these?)

3. Pricing – consumer’s value (What is the consumer’s perception of value?)

4. Properly positioned (Establish comparable points of difference?)

5. Consistent (Programs sending conflicting messages?)

6. Portfolio + hierarchy makes sense (Seamless umbrella? Does anything take away from the core? Do the individual brands hold their niche? Overlap? Where? Upcoming products?)

7. Full repertoire of activities (Do touch points maximize brand awareness? Integrate customer/consumer?)

8. Managers understand brand (The beach ball)

9. Given proper support (Stick to something vs. all over the place)

10. Monitors sources of brand equity (Brand charter? Brand audits?)
