Brand MEANING
model
1. TRANSPARENCY
• The internet has made the cost of information seeking lower and
shifted the balance of power towards a more informed and
empowered consumer.
• There has been plenty of opportunities for Asian brands to rise to
the occasion during recent product contamination crises, however
brands have chosen to be reactive rather than tackle the issues
head on.
McDonald’s and Transparency
• Globally McDonalds has come under fire from consumer groups over
the nutritional and health values of their products.
– McDonalds embarked on a global programme which invited Mom Quality
Correspondents to visit the facilities where McDonald’s products are prepared and to
report back to other concerned consumers.
Dole and Transparency
2. ACTS NOT JUST WORDS
• Creative Idea:
– They created "The Best Job in the World" – a position
that sounds too good to be true. The best thing about
the job being its location – the Islands of the Great
Barrier Reef.
3. COHERENCY NOT CONSISTENCY
