ICEPAwareness

The brand Portugal already exists –need to shift the perception

There is a need for industries to have greater awareness

•The kind that Paper & Pulp, Cork and Olive Oil already have

•The problem is that Portuguese managers lack the capacity to take on this task –they are not focused enough on expansion

Page 9: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

9

ICEPInternational Expansion

Portugal, as a whole, is not ready to compete internationally

Yet, certain industries are:

•Automobile components, Telecom, Financial services, Tourism, Glass & Ceramics, Textiles & Footwear, Home Textile, Port, Technology

•The industry with greatest growth potential is the Service Industry

Challenges for internationalization

•Solidify domestically

• Improve internal management

•Develop design and communication culture

Page 10: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

10

ICEPChallenges & opportunities

•“Portugal needs, at least, 2 mega-brands to help the others”– Need to invest money in Brands and Branding– Shift perceptions about Portuguese reality– Create a Portuguese Trade Offer Brand

•What is key on the business side are proper distribution channels– Helps companies understand their markets and thus their

consumer needs –it communicates their brands broadly

•The entrance of new EU countries:– Potential new market place where Portugal is a reference– Not in last place anymore– Increased competition –they have better labour/price

Page 11: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

“Nobody buys Zara because of their brand... It’s because they are everywhere and the have a complete offer”

-ICEP Board Member

Page 12: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

12

ICEPBrand and Communication: Needs

•Companies need to develop outward looking brands –that is, they should consider other markets

•Use leading brands to promote Portugal –“when there is a leader you see results”

– Other companies admire them and follow their lead

•The Portuguese trade offer brand shouldn’t clash with company strategies

Page 13: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

13

ICEPBrand and Communication

Portugal’s strongest brands

•Port Wine

•Portugal (specific industries)

•Mateus Rosé

•Figo

•TAP

•Portugal Telecom

•Caixa Geral de Depósitos

Industries with brands ready to compete internationally

•Wine brands

•Footwear consumer brands

•Glass

•Olive oil

•Clothing –desperately need brands

Page 14: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

14

ICEPInternational brands that are admired

• Distribution excellence

• Success in communicating their brand

• “It would relaunch the whole economy”

• “Quality and perfection”

• “Completely flexible brand, it gives me power to promote everything”

• For the way it has promoted itself over the last 20 years

Page 15: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

15

ICEPAssociations: General opinion

•They operate inefficiently

•They lack coordination to organize the companies

•Do not adequately provide for cooperation among companies

•They compete with one another rather and collaborate

Most associations should review (improve) the way they operate

Page 16: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

16

ICEPIn summary

•Unanimously felt need to change the perception of Portuguese trade

•Key to success of the Portuguese trade offer is proper management

•Strong distribution channels communicate closer with consumers

•Exploiting the recognition of leading brands in the exterior can help all of Portuguese industry

•Portuguese companies need to develop an international strategy– Restructure their organizations– Focus on branding and design

•Portugal is a country of generalists –need to find a specialization

Page 17: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

“Companies should start to develop brands with an Iberian philosophy”

CompaniesKey Issues

•International expansion

•Brand and communication

•Opinions on trade offer brand

•Primary concerns

•Opinions on Associations

Page 20: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

20

CompaniesInternational expansion

•All the companies interviewed have expansion plans, most already export over 50% of what they produce

•The country has left the “Industrial” phase and has entered the “Commercial” phase

– This is where branding comes into play

– Companies need to promote their brand(s)

•When asked which companies they considered as reference, most answered that they are the leader in their sector

•This shows confidence among Portuguese companies with regard to their ability to expand

Page 21: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

21

CompaniesBrand and communication

•Most of the companies interviewed were brand oriented

– Originally wholesaling, brandless companies who developed a consumer brand later

– They communicate the same brand both for B2B and B2C

•Companies are increasingly investing in communication and promotion

– Investing, on average, 3-5% on marketing and communication

– Most have established marketing departments

– Marketing departments report directly to the board of directors

Page 22: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

22

CompaniesBrand and communication

I can charge a 40% premium on my product because of my brand.

No matter what the quantity sold is, my price is the same. There is no negotiating on bulk when you have a brand.

– Marketing Director, Impetus

Page 23: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

23

CompaniesBrand and communication

Government initiatives have lost credibility when branding is concerned

•“This is the last chance for the government to restructure the industry sector in terms of branding”

•There have been too many uncompleted initiatives in the past

• Initiatives have to last in order to work or even have credibility

Page 24: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

24

CompaniesTrade offer brand

•Most of the companies interviewed do not consider a trade offer brand good for their business

– They view it competing with their own brand

– They do not want to leave their communication in the hands of the government

•There is a need for disciplined government policies that last

•Policies that come and go are damaging, government loses credibility in its ability to manage

•Some companies prefer to buy external brands for their expansion –prefer to communicate non-Portuguese brand

•Some would prefer to advertise a country and shift its perception than build a Sectorial or trade offer brand

Page 25: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

25

CompaniesMain concerns

•Possible clash between Portuguese trade offer brand, and companies' own positionings

•There is a lack of collaboration between companies to find and exploit synergies

•Companies are too individualistic in the way they operate

• In order to create solid, successful brands, companies need efficient management

•Companies need to adapt to diverse (local) needs, they need investment to promote their brand externally

Page 26: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

26

CompaniesPerception of associations

Companies have very fragmented opinions regarding associations:

•The Shoes and Home Textile associations are work efficiently

– Companies benefit from their affiliation

– Associations are heavily involved in promoting the companies

•However, in general, there is a lack of cooperation between associations and their member companies

– Multiple associations within sectors only make for competition among them –rather than collaboration

– Only recently have there been initiatives to increase such collaboration

Page 27: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

27

CompaniesIn summary

•Companies have a very clear idea as to the benefits of branding

– Branding is highly recognized as a differentiating mechanism

– Most have experienced the shift from white label to branded

– Most have in-house marketing and communications departments

•They are confident in their ability to compete internationally

•Yet, where internationally communication is concerned, they would prefer to hide their origin

•They lack the trust in the government’s ability to assist them in generating international awareness

– Do not want to share or “compete” with a general trade offer brand

– Do not trust the execution of the trade offer programme

•They have little faith in their associations’ abilities to organize their industry

Page 28: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

28

“To be successful, a Trade Offer Brand needs to adapt to the diverse needs of the many companies and industries”

-President, Portucel

Page 29: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

29

Trade associations Challenges in International Expansion are...

• Companies need larger scale in order to compete internationally

• Knowledge of the market

• Alignment of the appropriate distribution partners

• Financial capacity

• Management skills

• Traditional focus on production

• Active governmental lobbying

• Perseverance/Long term perspective

• BRANDING

Opinion LeadersMain points

•Perception of Portugal abroad is inconsistent with reality

•Need at least 2-3 large companies with strong brands so that other brands can follow (piggy-back)

•Solution may be to promote Portuguese industry abroad

•Companies need to restructure in order to be able to compete internationally

•Made in Portugal adds in some sectors and in other it takes away

•Some expressed a surprise when they discovered the real Portuguese industries

•Communication should encompass recent Portuguese innovations and products, to position Portugal as a country of qualified resources

•Coordination among ICEP, API, Chambers of Commerce and embassies is crucial

Page 36: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

36

Interview conclusions

•The multitude of Portuguese industry makes for multiple interests

– Some sectors feel that a Portuguese Trade Offer Brand would help

– Other feel that it would confuse consumers and risk their business

•There is general awareness about branding and its advantages

•Companies have the confidence in their business to expand

– Yet they, lack the confidence in consumer acceptance of their origin to the outside

•There is little incentive for smaller companies to brand

•Lack of trust in government initiatives makes companies more individualistic and less eager to participate in a branding programme

•Portuguese Trade offer brand may compete with company brands

•A shift in the perception of Portugal abroad is imperative

44

Perceptions of Portuguese goods are limited to non-industrial goods

•There is little awareness of Portugal’s main value proposition

– Its industrial strength is ill perceived

– Foreign consumers generally associate Portugal with tourism and tradition

•Very few Portuguese brands are known outside of Portugal

•By the time a consumer receives a Portuguese good it has been branded by a non-Portuguese company

50

Why is awareness of Portuguese industry and quality low?

•Companies hide Portuguese identity abroad

– Use non-Portuguese brands

– Purchase local brands

– Create joint-ventures and use the partner’s brand

•The main industries in Portugal are focused on B2B business

– This is the only sector that is well recongnized

– Yet the final user does not see Portuguese contribution

•Structurally, Portugal has a broad array of industries relative to its size (population) –lack of a specialization

•As a result, Portugal is considered to be relatively undeveloped

Page 51: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

51

Portugal’s Main competitive advantagesThese are attributes associated with highly developed economies

•Political and economic stability

• Infrastructure (4,000 kms of highway, communications)

•Low labour costs: Cost/value very high

•People (workers): Under good management

– Flexibility

– Trainability

– Manageability

•Facility to deal with big markets

•Third phase of EU development

•Strong work force (good thinkers and workers)

•Open to foreigners and their ideas

Page 52: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

52

General conclusions

Companies want:

• Monetary incentives to expand their brands

• Not to compete with Portuguese Trade Offer brand

• Clearer understanding abroad of Portuguese industry realities

Industries need:

• Monetary incentives to increase communication

• Awareness of their strength and diversity

• Good communications

• To empower companies to develop brands

Associations say:

• Monetary incentives to promote their industries are fundamental in their member companies’ success

• Greater incentives from the government regarding the brand programme

Consumers perceive:

• Portuguese industry indifferently

• Portugal as a non-industrial economy

Page 53: Icep Branding The Portuguese Trade Offer

53

General conclusions, cont

•There is no one clear cut path for the Portuguese Trade offer

– Companies actively disassociate themselves with Portugal

– Industries require an initiative to communicate the reality of Portugal’s strength

•Perceptions of the Portuguese trade offer do not match reality

•The majority of Portuguese companies are inward-looking

– Do not promote themselves outside

– Lack a brand or the necessary tools to generate awareness

•Portuguese brands don’t need to communicate their origin, Portugal needs to communicate its brands

A Portuguese Trade Offer brand is one piece of the overall Portuguese Trade Offer Brand Strategy

•The scope and range of Portuguese industry is very broad

•Different companies have different business models

•Different companies communicate their offer in different ways

•Some companies are global, some are local

•Some companies are B2B, some are B2C
