Time to Move Beyond Outdated Models
TweetWhile not being the post I recently announced about social business, service, brands and commoditization, this short post quite perfectly sets the stage…
This inscription, painted on a truck parked nearby my office, reads “for coffee lovers… Sophistication of best brands – Elegance of service”. And I couldn’t help sharing it with you…
You will agree that “sophistication” is nowadays no more relevant for brands, as it refers to a groundless claim. But what is a brand, if not a dual set of promises and associated services? What is the brand value, once it relies on third-party services like the company who owns this truck is aimed to deliver? Is such intermediation sustainable, as it merely commoditizes the brands it uses?
