No gimmicks, no hassles, no hoops to jump through.
This is especially true today due to the media and advertising consumption changes that
have occurred with the advent of the Internet and other new media technologies, like
podcasts videos.
These changes are impossible to ignore your customers are doing more and more with
interactive technologies.
We keep track of industry best practices so that even your most innovative campaigns
can take advantage of tactics that are known to improve success rates
3.1 Podcasts
Reference 2
Podcasts can present marketers with a novel way to build relationships with their
customers.
For example, your company could provide weekly podcasts of interviews with celebrities
and beauty tips from noted cosmetologists or when the latest fashion shows are held.
Page 10 of 26
A financial management firm could provide its customers with comments on the market’s
most recent week and what to expect in the upcoming week.
When done well, podcasts provide an amazing opportunity that gets customers to opt-in
to receiving relevant information that keeps them engaged with the Company.
3.2 VOD
Reference 3
Video-On-Demand (VOD) is a term used to describe video that users can view at their
leisure or – on demand.
Of the new media technologies that are typically referenced, VOD is unique in that it can
be applied to any channel with a screen.
In other words, VOD is applicable to the television, the personal computer and mobile
devices.
The availability of VOD across multiple channels allows marketers to take advantage of
each channel to reach all targeted audiences.
Through their digital cable products, cable operators provide homes with the opportunity
to access a library of VOD content.
On the Internet, VOD advertising can occur by placing informative infomercial type video
on your own site.
Additionally, there may be some opportunity for viral ads using online sites that host
video or by developing a more involved campaign around VOD.

REBRANDING EXAMPLES
"The way we've sold paper over the past 150 years is not the way we will sell it going
forward."
That, from our initial agency interview, was permission to change everything.
Challenge
Seeing the papers at the mill, in isolation from their marketing materials, even the young
designers responded positively to them.
Each of Neenah's paper offerings was so narrowly focused on perceived audiences that
it practically barred entry to others.
Product names such as Classic Linen, Classic Laid and Classic Crest and applied
aesthetics were more prominent than the brand.

5.1 Industry: Financial Services/Insurance Summary
Challenge
Swiss Life is a leading international life insurance company.
The group was founded in 1857 and is one of Switzerland's most trusted financial
brands.
After a turbulent phase and the definition of a new strategy in 2002, Swiss Life initiated a
corporate identity process.
Strategy
The goal was to strengthen the position in the European life insurance market by
integrating six national brands, which previously operated independently.
Result
The new brand links Swiss Life's tradition with its new positioning.
The color red and the Swiss cross refer to the insurer's roots.
Three lines symbolize the main lifelines on the human palm and emphasise that Swiss
Life is committed to people throughout their lives.

APPENDIXES
A. Customer Survey
Customer Survey
As part of our rebranding proposal, we asked several customers to list their 10 most
important criteria for shopping at MYER.
And, “…to our surprise, price was nowhere to be found. It wasn’t that price was
insignificant to customers.
But thanks to MYER’ influence, shoppers had come to assume they were going to
get a good price.
What they wanted was a brighter more appealing website to browse on while
shopping, some interactivity.
What they also wanted was for stores to stock all the basics and modern up to
date products, courteous and helpful sales associates. And they wanted a faster,
less-troublesome experience.
In other words, customers wanted the stores and website to not just have what
they wanted, but have it where it could be found quickly and easily.”
So we believe MYER should focused its marketing and merchandising efforts on ‘making
it easy’ for customers to shop in its stores and on the internet.
For example, a typical store merchandise layout will place the most purchased goods in
the back of the store hoping shoppers will buy stuff they didn’t intend to buy.
To ‘make it easy’ for shoppers, MYER should placed their most purchased items (basic
necessities and every day items) in the front of the store so shoppers could access it
and get out fast.
