  • Branding of Business
    Updated 8th July 2004 Geoff Stuart The Branding of Business Tracing the extraordinary history of the World’s Greatest Entrepreneurs, Companies, Corporations and Brands. INTRODUCTION Michael, my son started pointing out the window as we were driving and saying “ ee ai, ee ai”, and repeating the sounds. He was less than a year old. At first I couldn’t work it out. “ Ee ai”, what was that? There he was sitting in the back seat of the car in his baby seat, saying “ ee ai”, not “Dad”, “Daddy”, “Da, Da ”, or even “Mummy”! It wasn’t just a gurgle, it was a definite word and he was pointing! And then I got it! There was a McDonalds sign, and he was pointing right at it! He had connected the Nursery Rhyme “Old McDonald had a Farm, ee ai, ee ai, oh “ to McDonalds Restaurants! His very first word was McDonalds, all be it said in Baby talk! Luckily his vocabulary has expanded a lot since then, but his very first word was a brand! As a father I felt cheated that he was saying “McDonalds” before I got a mention, but as a Marketing person, I took it as a sign that brands could have enormous cut through, not just as words but as images as well. So, what was it that made him connect to “McDonalds”? Was it the ads on TV, the Golden Arches, Ronald McDonald or McDonalds colours or combinations of all of these or simply the connection with the word McDonalds from the Nursery Rhyme? Whatever it was, the brand image was very powerful.

  • William Lyons - Jaguar's Founder by François Prins
    William Lyons - Jaguar's Founder By François Prins William Lyons took a small sidecar manufacturing business and developed it into a prominent World-wide Company in a few years. One of the few 'names' that still resound in the world of automotive manufacturing is that of William Lyons. We know Ford, Renault, Citroen and Benz, as these names are still to be found in the car business. Other once famous names, such as Olds, Riley, Austin and Morris have disappeared. Very few people now remember who those pioneers were, but Lyons is still remembered as Jaguar; these two are synonymous. Although he died in 1985 his legacy is still regarded highly by the current Design Department at Jaguar. Indeed, the present Director of Design, Ian Callum, often looks at past Jaguar models to keep the 'Lyons- Jaguar DNA' alive. How did Lyons exert such an influence on a brand? He was a charismatic person, single-minded and certainly strong- willed. Tremendously hard-working Lyons expected his staff to do likewise. He surrounded himself with exceptionally talented people who were just as keen on the enterprise as he was. They may not always have agreed with the Boss, but they were loyal, both to Lyons and to Jaguar. Early Days In any account of a life one must start at the beginning. William Lyons was born on 4 September 1901 to William and Mary (née Barcroft) in Blackpool. William Senior was a musician and ran a music shop where he sold and repaired pianos. According to some, most of the pianos in Blackpool passed through William's hands at some time or another.
