It’s 10 000 BC. Life was kind of simple.

Page 4: Why Smart Brands use Characters

You had to do two things: find food …

Page 5: Why Smart Brands use Characters

… and you had to try not to become food.

Page 6: Why Smart Brands use Characters

Other people were important to your survival.

Page 7: Why Smart Brands use Characters

1. The saw things you missed

Page 8: Why Smart Brands use Characters

2. They gave you useful stuff.

Page 9: Why Smart Brands use Characters

3. They offered you great services.

Page 10: Why Smart Brands use Characters

There was a problem though: not everyone offered the same quality products.

Page 11: Why Smart Brands use Characters

… and some offered really bad services.

Page 12: Why Smart Brands use Characters

Figuring out who you could trust and work with was a big problem

Page 13: Why Smart Brands use Characters

After much deliberation we figures out a really cool formula. But it turned out to be very, very complicated.

Page 14: Why Smart Brands use Characters

To solve the problem the mind came up with a clever solution: it notified us about the result of all it’s calculations with a single emotion called Feel Good.

Page 15: Why Smart Brands use Characters

If you had a good feeling about someone it was OK to trust them.

Page 16: Why Smart Brands use Characters

Today you have loads of people who want you to have their products and services.

Page 17: Why Smart Brands use Characters

With all the noise it has again become difficult to figure out who you should trust.

Page 18: Why Smart Brands use Characters

The questions is: “where is the Feel Good in all this Blah, Blah, Blah?”

Page 19: Why Smart Brands use Characters

And that is why smart brands use characters.

Characters promise you a Feel Good experience that gets the brand through the door.

Character are synonymous with entertainment: captivating, refreshing, resonates, great personalities, fun stories, emotional connection, engaging, different, memorable …

Page 22: Why Smart Brands use Characters

Entertainment automatically puts you in a more relaxed mood.

Page 23: Why Smart Brands use Characters

And when you are relaxed you tend to be more inclined to pay attention to what someone is telling you.

?

Page 25: Why Smart Brands use Characters

No, but it says a lot about the people behind the product or service.

Page 26: Why Smart Brands use Characters

It says they really care about how you feel about them and their products and services.

Page 27: Why Smart Brands use Characters

And if they care about how you feel they are going to make sure they look after you.
