Creating brand instrumentality beyond the product

Creating brand instrumentality beyond the product

Expertiza locala
Dr. Dan HermanThe main reason for the general fascination with brands is their ability to provide the consumers an extra value in addition to what the product\service\company themselves can provide. A value which becomes the major motivation for consumers to desire the product. Everybody agrees about that, but from here on it becomes foggy. First of all, what is this value exactly? We know, for instance, of the ability of a brand to signal belonging to a certain group or status but there are some who talk about brands as the objects of the consumer's love (for instance: Kevin Roberts the CEO of "Saatchi & Saatchi") or even as a religion (as Young & Rubicam declared). Also, how precisely is this value being added and incorporated into the brand? Advertising professionals s...

PR-ul are legatura cu finantarile?

Expertiza locala
Radu Gazda, Angajat.roCa intreprinzator ce viseaza si pune in aplicare mereu noi proiecte, domeniul finantarilor, adica modalitatile, sursele si economia (costuri / beneficii) obtinerii de bani necesari, este foarte important. Ca intreprinzator roman, acest domeniu capata cateva puncte in plus la capitolul importanta tocmai datorita mult mediatizatei integrari in Uniunea Europeana, a “asaltului” ofertelor bancare pentru categoria din care fac parte, a informatiilor vehiculate in mass media despre parca eternele si inepuizabilele surse de finantare.Astfel ca, preocupat de obtinerea de informatii pertinente din sectorul finantarilor, am inceput sa frecventez in ultima vreme tot felul de seminarii, conventii, sesiuni de comunicari pe aceasta tema aceasta in provincie cat si in mar...

The New Market Segmentation

Expertiza locala
Dr. Dan HermanIf you’re trying to segment your market in the traditional way, what you may be looking for would be groups of consumers sorted out in such a way that a certain likeness exists within each group, and a difference exists between them. The variable determining the meaningful likeness or difference between those groups would be the segmentation variable. A trivial segmentation variable, just for the sake of demonstration, would be hair color. However, after having segmented the customers into groups, it is reasonable to assume that you would expect to do something with it. Let’s say that you have decided to target a certain segment. You would probably want to do some marketing activities that will appeal to this segment, or else, to communicate some kind of enticing ...

Customer magazines

Diana Capatina, Senior Copywriter/Partener, Re:ply Revistele de companie sunt un instrument de marketing pe care romanii inca nu l-au descoperit. Aflati de cativa ani buni sub vraja unor vehicule de comunicare “sigure” (tristul adevar este ca suntem un popor de televizomani), lasam sa treaca pe langa noi idei, concepte care in alte parti si-au dovedit de mult eficienta si priza la public.Ce sunt revistele pentru clientiCustomer magazines sunt reviste pe care companiile le publica pentru clientii lor existenti sau potentiali. Ele arata si se comporta ca niste reviste obisnuite, au (sau ar trebui sa aiba) o grafica foarte buna si un continut editorial relevant pentru cititori; in acelasi timp, ele sunt un instrument de marketing extrem de eficient, care permite companiei care pub...
Rembrandt Hotel

Rembrandt Hotel

Case Studies
“The place not the people” the brief from Rembrandt was succinct and clear. The focus for any PR initiative should be on the hotel and the hotel alone-in other words the building, the location and investment. Despite the fact that the 15 room boutique hotel is exceptionally well presented and designed, the opening of a hotel this size in itself is not exactly big news nor worthy of excessive coverage.This coupled with the fact that ‘not the people” translated into a “celebrity free zone” ensured that this would not be a standard opening and from a PR perspective rather unusual for Romania. The question then was how could we develop a PR event without the celebrity/star factor (traditionally a prerequisite for an event of this kind) but at the same time g...

De umor e mereu nevoie

De umor e mereu nevoie

Expertiza locala
De glume proaste aproape niciodataTeodora MigdaloviciAmbasador Cannes Lions in RomaniaE nevoie de umor in PR? La fel de mult cum e nevoie si-n viata. Umorul da culoare, da savoare. Sa ne uitam la spoturile publicitare premiate la Cannes pe vremuri. Nu era nevoie sa stii limba in care se vorbeste in spot daca situatiile de-acolo, universal valabile, provocau un ris la fel de global. Umor inseamna umanitate. Inseamna popular. Adica exact asa cum trebuie sa fie cel mai adesea relatiile publice, daca rostul lor e acela de a populariza informatia. Spun daca pentru ca in Romania relatiile publice sunt in mintea celor mai multi dintre cei care-si spun PR- isti cumparare de media prin diverse publicatii. Spatiile rezultate din achizitie sunt umplute cu acelasi comunicat sec, lipsit de savoare, pe...
