La Brand Utility pour les nuls. Parlons marketing ! Cette semaine, je vous propose de parler de marketing grâce à cette interview de Brieuc Saffré, l'auteur d'un livre sur un concept très intéressant : la Brand Utility. Brieuc défend une vision différente du Marketing qui va aussi dans le sens d'un changement sociétal et économique.

Bref, des choses très intéressantes ! => Qui es-tu ? Je suis brieuc, nantais d'origine mais expatrié à Paris. Les voyages, le FC Nantes et Internet sont quelques unes de mes passions. => La Brand Utlity pour les nuls en quelques mots ça donne quoi ? La brand utility désigne un marketing stratégique responsable, cohérent et utile pour l'ensemble des acteurs autour d'une entreprise autrement dit pour ses salariés, ses clients, ses fournisseurs, son environnement sur le long terme. "La brand utility désigne un marketing stratégique responsable, cohérent et utile pour l'ensemble des acteurs autour d'une entreprise" => Est-ce que tu peux nous donner un exemple qui illustre bien cette philosophie ?

Several years ago I was interviewing at what was then one of the top creative agencies in the world. A few weeks prior to going out for my full day of interviews, I had met with the head of the department for coffee while on a long weekend getaway. He and I had a great conversation and he was excited to have me talk to some of his team about an opening they were looking to fill. My day of interviews went fairly well, sans one. Throughout this interview, I was grilled about my past experience, which at the time, was largely in account service roles. I did my best to answer the questions thrown at me, but it was clear to me that my answers were not hitting the mark.

A week later I received a call from the HR person at the agency and was given a generic dismissal. At that point, he shared with me what really happened. This experience came up the other day in a conversation regarding my post on how to become a master planner. Personally, I can see how this was valuable in the past. Gareth Kay. Jeremy Gutsche to bring cool to Ottawa - Local. The Innovators Alliance will host the Calgary-born Mr. Gutsche – a recognized "trend expert" and author of the book Exploiting Chaos – at an evening event at the Empire Grill.

OBJ caught up with Mr. Gutsche prior to his keynote to talk about his top five ways companies can stay innovative during times of change. Here's what he had to say: 1) Have some perspective. Having a well-defined perspective will help you to innovate, whatever it is you're trying to do. 2) Re-evaluate your culture. A decent proportion of your creations must fail, and if you're going to find new hills of opportunity you have to constantly be pushing for ways to reinvent. 3) Obsess about your customers. If you really want to understand what you're trying to reinvent, then you need to meet your customers. 4) Go trendhunting. There's no point innovating if you think you already know the answer. 5) Relentlessly obsess about your story. Event details Date: Nov. 2, 2010 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. – Networking cocktail reception.
