Branding Expert Insights

Daniel Grossman, Ph.D.
Daniel Grossman, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Marketing, University of Missouri–St. Louis

How do academic insights into consumer behavior uniquely inform effective branding strategies?

Academic insights into consumer behavior serve as the cornerstone for developing effective branding strategies. Understanding the psychological underpinnings of consumer motivation and decision-making allows brands to craft messages that resonate on a deeper level.

For instance, knowledge of cognitive biases, emotional triggers, and social influences helps [to tailor] branding efforts that align with consumer perceptions and preferences. It allows brands to create a more authentic and relatable narrative, fostering stronger connections with their target audience.

How can businesses measure the success and impact of their branding efforts with an agency?

Measuring the success of branding efforts involves a combination of quantitative and qualitative metrics. Depending on the context, there will likely be 5–15 key performance indicators (KPIs), such as brand awareness, customer engagement, and conversion rates. Moreover, surveys and customer feedback provide qualitative insights into the perception of the brand.

A successful branding agency should be adept at utilizing analytics tools to track these metrics [and at] communicating these metrics to their client. The agency should collaborate closely with the business to align objectives and assess the impact of branding initiatives over time.

What are the differences in branding strategies across various industries?

Branding strategies differ markedly across industries due to varied consumer behaviors, market dynamics, and competitive landscapes. For instance, a technology brand may center its strategy on innovation and cutting-edge features, capitalizing on the fast-paced nature of the sector.

In contrast, a luxury brand in the fashion industry may prioritize exclusivity and craftsmanship to appeal to discerning consumers.

Recognizing these industry-specific nuances is paramount for effective branding. Agencies that succeed in this landscape tailor their strategies to harmonize [...] the distinctive challenges and opportunities within each sector, ensuring a cohesive and resonant brand message that speaks directly to the target audience.

Prof. Brian D. Till
Professor of Marketing, Marquette University

What are the differences in branding strategies across various industries?

[...] The strategic fundamentals of branding are consistent across [all] industries. The best brands are unique (differentiated from key competitors), relevant (not to everyone but [to] well-defined target audiences, and simple.

What does vary, though, are the tactics used to bring the brand to life. Business-to-business brands tend to rely more on personal selling, trade shows, [and] PR in industry publications, while larger consumer brands rely more on traditional advertising, robust social media activity, and perhaps packaging.

Smaller brands look for cost-effective ways of communicating their identity via strong reliance on their website, social media posts, sponsorship of smaller local events. Brick-and -mortar retail brands rely heavily on their physical space and in-store personnel.

Where do you see branding in the next 5-10 years?

Brands will be able continue to target consumers at a more granular level, customizing content and promotions more effectively and efficiently. Consumers will be increasingly sensitive to the authenticity of the brands they align with, ensuring that brands [...] “walk the talk.”

Brands will also work to create more immersive experiences that allow consumers to engage deeply with the brand and lead to more of their consumers to be strong advocates for the brand.

How can businesses measure the success and impact of their branding efforts with an agency?

Measuring the effectiveness of branding activities remains a challenge. [Even though] brands have more and more data and metrics available, making causal inferences is still not an exact science. Having expected outcomes that are very specific and logically tied to tactics will help, as will use of control/test conditions and/or very careful longitudinal analysis.

Partnering with the agency to determine appropriate success indicators in advance also helps, as the agency also has an interest in demonstrating the effectiveness of their work. Don’t [...] fall into the trap of focusing on metrics that aren’t that central to the success of the brand but are easy to measure.
