Primal Branding with Patrick Hanlon

Ever wondered why some products mean something to us, while others do not? Or what's the magic glue that tightly holds consumers to brands such as Google, Mini Cooper, Oprah and others? And why do so many brands with great product innovation, perfect location, terrific customer experience, even breakthrough advertising fail to get the same visceral traction in the marketplace that brands like Apple, Starbucks, or Nike have?

The answer lies herein. Listen in as we speak to Patrick Hanlon, founder of Thinktopia and author of Primal Branding: Create Zealots for Your Brand, Your Company, and Your Future as he reveals the seven factors known as Primal Codes and shows us how to use and combine them to create a community of believers in which the consumer develops a powerful emotional attachment to the brand.

Hanlon's book is an amazing read and gives us a provocative view of classic branding. What makes this book different from the hundreds of other books on branding, is that it looks at brands as a belief system that creates a brand community. The book also provides a prescriptive element and the seven codes of primal branding can be applied to any brand; whether it's a product, service, city, personality or social cause. This is a fascinating read.  It's almost like Hanlon's discovered the Holy Grail of great branding!

James K. Marstiller on Frogs and Blogs!

Have you heard the fable about the frog in the pot? Hint: It’s the perfect metaphor for RISK.
 
Long story short, if you drop a frog in a pot of hot water it will jump right back out. Obviously. However, if you gently place the frog in a pot of lukewarm water on a stove and gradually turn up the heat, the frog will turn into “cooked frog legs”
rather than move. This is not only the nature of frogs; it is human nature as well.

Consider:

• People who are in careers that they can’t stand but won’t change.
• People who live in a terrible relationship but won’t leave their partner.

You want to scream at these people – get out! Like the frog in the pot, the
comfort level they perceive within their environment was greater than the fear, or the “risk” associated with moving. Unfortunately these people are working with the old model of risk. To continue reading James Marstiller's article on frogs and blogs, click here!

The above fable was told to us on the Business of Success radio show by president of The Solutions Partnership and author of The Power to Innovate: Rewiring the Minds of Individuals and Organizations, James Marstiller.   Listen in to the following interview as James explains his 'Frog in the Pot Risk Theory' along with his analysis of what drives innovation.
