Brand - Customer Relationships Have Human Roots
Take a look at the overview of what we'll cover together in this course so you know what to expect from each section.
Branding was a lot simpler in the olden days. Relationships were built through face to face engagement and brand strategies didn't go too much further than simply treating your customers well and engaging them with personality. A simple as that sounds, there's a lot to be learned for modern business owners today.
As people we all connect with one another through our personalities. The different desires we all have, determine the characteristics that we're attracted to. Specific characteristics evoke specific desires, while a certain group of characteristics make up a certain personality. By the end of this lecture, you'll begin to think about connecting with your audience from a different perspective.
A vast amount of our buying decisions are made in our subconscious. Understanding the two emotional states your audience goes through in relation to your solution, is key to penetrating that subconscious mind. By the end of this lecture, you'll begin to consider the emotional states of your audience in order to appeal to them with personality.
The most loved brands connect with their audience on a much deeper level than the products or services they sell. The personalities and characteristics that these brands display, are key in resonating with their audience on that level.
Your brands industry and the solutions you offer, will often outline the level of emotion involved. Some solutions tap into a much deeper level of emotion than others while less emotional solutions can benefit from the lightheartedness of their space.
This case study demonstrates that creativity coupled with personality (and a sought after solution) is a combination that can open the hearts of customers with any budget. Although big budgets have advantages, they can't compete with a message that taps into a pain point with a well placed tone and personality.

An excellent example of heart branding. When you own an emotion and consistently demonstrate that emotion consistently with characteristics that evoke that desire, it becomes less about the product and more about the feeling.
