Brand Resonance The marketing challenge is to ensure
consumers have the right types of experiences to create the right brand knowledge
Brand resonance is when consumers feel that they are “in synch” with a brand
Creating brand resonance involves a series of steps as part of a “branding ladder”
Creating brand resonance is also characterized by a logically constructed set of brand “building blocks.”

of In all the right places … at all the right times … in all
the right ways

Brand Resonance Building Blocks:Performance & Imagery
Performance What the brand does to meet customers' more
functional needs. Brand performance refers to the intrinsic properties of the brand
in terms of inherent product benefits. Imagery
How people think about a brand abstractly rather than what they think the brand actually physically does.
Brand imagery is thus more extrinsic properties of the brand. Four important intangible dimensions are:
Type of user Brand personality History & heritage Experiences

chosen to help the brand achieve a superior competitive positioning
Develop 3-5 unique brand points-of-difference (POD’s)
Desirable to consumer Deliverable by the company Differentiatied from competitors
Establish 2-4 shared brand points-of-parity (POP’s) Negate competitor points-of-difference Overcome perceived vulnerabilities from points-of-difference Demonstrate category credentials

Brand Resonance Building Blocks: Judgments & Feelings Judgments
Consumers overall brand evaluations How consumers combine performance and imagery
associations to form different kinds of brand opinions Quality, satisfaction, credibility, consideration, superiority
Feelings Consumers emotional responses and
reactions to the brand Can be mild or intense; positive or negative; or
experiential or enduring in nature. Can also relate to the social currency evoked by the brand.

Dimensions of Brand Feelings
Brand feelings can be divided into two broad categories: Experiential – immediate, short-lived during purchase/consumption Enduring – private, possibly part of day-to-day life
Brands should have one, or ideally both, types of feelings
Experiential Feelings
• Warm
• Fun
• Exciting
Increasing level of intensity
Enduring Feelings
• Sense of Security (Inner-directed)
• Social Approval (Outer-directed)
• Self-Respect (Actualization)
Self-Respect
Sense of Security Social Approval
Inner-Directed Outer-Directed
Higher level of values & needs

Dove “Real Beauty” Dove had been backed for decades by traditional
advertising touting the brand’s benefit of one-quarter moisturizing cream and exhorting women to take the seven-day Dove test.
A significant shift in strategy occurred for Dove in 2003 with the launch of the Real Beauty campaign, which celebrates “real women” of all shapes, sizes, ages, and colors.
The multi-media campaign was thoroughly integrated. Traditional TV and print ads were combined with all forms of new media,
such as real-time voting for models on cell phones and tabulated displays of results on giant billboards.
PR was dialed up; paid media was dialed down. The Internet was crucial for creating a dialogue with
women. A website was launched and supplemented with ad videos (“Evolution” & “No Age Limit”).
