Hello, I’m
Jim Glover, That Branding Guy, for Once a Day Marketing™. Today is Strategic
Tuesday and we are talking branding with two real life "big
brands" marketing experts.
On our radio
show Ask Those Branding Guys, we spoke
with Jim Patterson and Chuck Lieppe former advertising executives with the Leo Burnett
Agency and Procter & Gamble, respectively.
Both of these original "mad men" had long and successful
careers managing domestic and international accounts and brands. They share a few pearls of wisdom with us
today.
During his
tenure at P&G, Lieppe managed brands that included household names like
Tide, Pampers and Crest, just to name a few.
Patterson was involved with other familiar brands such as McDonalds,
Coke and P&G.
Patterson's
Leo Burnett was also instrumental in the development of many of the enduring characters
that represented brands. The Maytag
Repairman, Morris the Cat, Charlie Tuna and the Jolly Green Giant all had
personalities of their own and became part of the consumers lives. He went on to say that this type of character
is being seen less often due to the shorter time advertisers have to connect
with customers.
Lieppe
shared that at P&G there was a very specific process for product
launch. The main focus of which was
understanding the need of the customer as well as the market, and striving to
provide a product to fill that need.
Patterson’s
tip; focus initial efforts on research.
Lieppe added that you need to ensure you tell your customer how good
your product makes them, rather than how good your product is.
