Throughout most of human history, we have been accustomed to evolution, or the gradual changing and progress- ing, and the moving forward of events in a straight line. Sometimes the process of change was faster, and sometimes it was slower, but it almost always seemed to be progressive, from one step to the other, allowing you opportunities for planning, predicting and changing. Today, however, the rate of change is not only faster than ever before, but it is discontinuous. It is taking place in a variety of unconnected areas and affecting each of us in a variety of unexpected ways. Changes in informa- tion processing technologies are happening separately from changes in medicine that affect our life spans and lifestyles. Changes in transporta- tion are taking place separately from changes in education, while changes in politics are taking place separately from changes in global competition. Changes in family formation and relationships are happening separately from the rise and fall of new businesses and industries in different parts of the country. And if anything, this rate of accelerating, discontinuous change is increasing. As a result, most of us are already suffering from what Alvin Toffler called, “future shock.” You can’t do very much about the enormity of these changes, but you can think seriously about yourself and provide for your basic needs for security and stability. In no area is this action more important than in the 15 cracking the success code areas of job security and financial security. You must give special atten- tion to your ability to make a good living and provide for yourself in the months and years ahead. You must think about your earning ability, how you earn a living today and how you might be earning a living tomorrow. In effect, you must position yourself for tomorrow, even if it is increas- ingly unpredictable. You must think continuously and seriously about your work today, your earning ability, and the work that you will be do- ing one, three and five years from now. You must set goals and plan to achieve your own financial security, no matter what happens. Lord Maynard Keynes once said that

We’ve used that to engage with our customers in a much more real, authentic, emotional way. It’s lowered the cost of customer acquisition and built customer loyalty.”1 – Howard Schultz, CEO, Starbucks, in 2011 “If we had approached it not from ‘what you know and love about Starbucks’ but as a marketing channel, we would have taken this down a path that would have been very different. This was not [built as a] marketing channel, but as a consumer relationship-building environment.”2 – Chris Bruzzo, VP-brand content and online, Starbucks, in 2010 “I think what they’ve done is elevate the entire experience away from just a cup of coffee into, really, Starbucks being the corner bar, and they’ve used social media to leverage that positioning,”3 – Reggie Bradford, Founder and CEO of Vitrue4, in 2010 A SOCIALLY ENGAGED COMPANY In March 2012, US-based Starbucks Corporation (Starbucks) was adjudged the most socially engaged company in a study conducted by PhaseOne5, an advertising research firm.

  • Hash Tag Slogans, Super Bowl Commercials, and Millennial
    Journal of Marketing Management June 2016, Vol. 4, No. 1, pp. 7-18 ISSN: 2333-6080(Print), 2333-6099(Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jmm.v4n1a2 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jmm.v4n1a2 Hash tag Slogans, Super Bowl Commercials, and Millennial Dr. Douglas M. Carroll1 Abstract This study measures brand awareness of Super Bowl commercials using hash tag slogans with survey samples comprised of Millennial. The day after the Super Bowls of 2015 and 2016, participants were given a recognition test and asked to match the slogan with the correct brand from a list of three. Test items included traditional slogans and hash tag slogans. Participants also responded to a survey questionnaire regarding personal electronic device ownership and social media use. Results indicated greater brand awareness of traditional slogans as compared to hash tag slogans. The study also noted high degrees of electronic device ownership and social media use. Implications for researchers and marketers were discussed. Keywords: Super Bowl commercials, hash tags, online advertising, Millennial Introduction The rise of online advertising has generated considerable pressure on all other sectors in the advertising industry. Television has been the traditional gold standard for decades but today broadcast and cable networks are engaged in an ongoing competition with increasingly popular digital platforms. One strategy networks have employed is convergence or merging television and online techniques and technology. This convergence becomes evident when television producers create pop-up ads, computer generated graphics, references to social media, and hash tag slogans.

    Branding through visual design: A case study of a company’s visual identity guided by brand values and story Riikka Iivanainen Bachelor’s Thesis Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture Department of Design Bachelor’s Program in Design Spring 2017 1 ABSTRACT 2 Aalto-yliopisto, PL 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Taiteen kandidaatin opinnäytteen tiivistelmä Tekijä Riikka Iivanainen Työn nimi Branding through visual design: A case study of a company’s visual identity guided by brand values and story Laitos Design Koulutusohjelma Design Vuosi 2017 Sivumäärä 57 Kieli English Tiivistelmä This thesis is a study on how a company can use visual design in branding. A company’s visual identity has previously been studied mostly through corporate identity and from the perspective of designing individual identity elements. Visual design in all of its applications including products, environments and information has received less attention. The objective was to investigate what kind of considerations building and managing a visual identity requires and in which parts of branding visual design can play a role. Evaluating the effectiveness of the chosen approach to visual design was left outside the scope. The topic was studied through a literature review and case study. The Finnish distillery Kyrö Distillery Company was selected as the case company because of its active branding efforts and broad use of visual material. The case study was divided into visual research and interview with the company’s marketing manager. The objective of the visual research was to gain an initial understanding of the case company’s visual identity. The interview was conducted to shed light on the decision-making and challenges behind the visual identity.
