Digital Brand Enablement

Trapped in Excel

Growing digital brands means growing digital pains. One of biggest ones is an excel sheets entrapment. If you keep track of your campaign execution elements such as consumer journeys, brand assets, media formats, partner specs, languages, copy and CTA-s across excel sheets, online or even worse offline, you are definitely digitally disabled and set up to fail.

Micromanaging Production

Instead of being focused on strategic brand management and activations, you waste time and days in micro-management of digital brand production. If spend more time aligning your digital agencies, with your partners, acting most of the time as human email forwarder, than strategizing on your brand and keeping in loop with market innovations, you're falling behind.

Every Digital Activation is a Stress

Sure, campaign have timelines and strict deadlines to meet, and every now and then, things may not be going as smoothly as possible. But, if your every digital activation is a stressor and you're putting out fires just to get them out the door, something is not right. While you may muscle your way out for some time, in long term or your team will have a burn-out while your activations quality and performance will worsen.

Struggling with Brand Translation to Digital

The seductive promise of double digit growth, made many brands discount serious organisational adjustments needed to be made, before venturing into new digital channels. To ensure proper and consistent brand translation to digital one needs more than digital ambition. Without a support system built on tools, processes and resources your digital brand will never take off.

Outdated Workflows

Organisational design and workflows - how people work, collaborate and communicate across teams was and is set up for much slower pace of work. Keeping brands alive in minds of customers mean keeping them alive in social feeds. 'Feeding the feed' requirement created the need for accelerated communication, brand content creation and (daily) distribution capability.

HOW DO WE CREATE VALUE

SUPPLY CHAIN VIEW OF BRANDING

Keeping your brand present in customers' minds is a matter of keeping it continuously present in their feeds. This is a question of how good and fast your organisation is able to create and deliver the content to its consumers. As it involves multiple upstream and downstream flows of information and brand assets between different stakeholders, across teams and locations, we take a supply chain view of branding to optimise across and within each phase of the process.
