MILAN (8 June 2016) — Landor, a Global Leader in Strategic Brand Landor Associates +39 02 7645171 tel www.landor.com Via Tortona 37 +39 02 76012596 fax Milan I-20144 Italy MILAN (8 June 2016) — Landor, a global leader in strategic brand consulting and design, partnered with Amplifon to define an ambitious new brand positioning and identity. The rebrand aims to change Amplifon’s approach to the hearing-aid category in response to an evolving market where new generations of consumers have very different needs and requirements than prior generations. Antonio Marazza, managing director of Landor Milan, commented on the rebrand: “Amplifon is definitely one of the most interesting and holistic projects we’ve worked on over the past two years. Amplifon’s corporate marketing team presented us with one key challenge: starting a dialogue with baby boomers, as they represent the next generation of potential customers and are also important influencers of the current customer base. To do this, it was necessary to define a new positioning and brand identity, both based on the emotion tied to sound.” This courageous choice—reflective of Amplifon’s leadership and its innovative and pioneering nature as a company—shifts the brand’s focus from considering hearing loss as a problem to considering the myriad benefits the brand’s products can provide. This positive positioning is reflected consistently across the brand experience and is highlighted by a new tagline, also created by Landor: Hear, feel, live. Michele Genghi, design director of Landor Milan, noted that “to overcome the problem/solution approach to the category, Landor expanded the boundaries of Amplifon’s brand, bringing the visual identity system into new areas that emotionally engage consumers and activate a wider target audience.” He continued, “From the beginning, the main focus of our exploration was not just about the logo, but also around the identification and articulation of a multichannel brand language characterized by sound and behavioral elements. This enables the brand to create a synesthetic experience combining traditional and digital media into a seamless experience. To do so, we defined a new role for the iconic A in Amplifon—it now acts as a generative element, constantly changing yet always recognizable, that brings the whole identity to life through its presence in all applications. The identity system also consists of an audio logo that introduces Amplifon through the sense of hearing, as is imperative for a brand that wants to give back the emotion of sound to its audiences.” For more information contact: Silvia Pitzalis [email protected] +39 02 76451729 About Amplifon Amplifon, listed on the STAR segment of the Italian stock exchange, is the global leader in hearing solutions and services for retail expertise, customization, and consumer care.

  • SAGE Publications CHAPTER 1 How Brands Work 3
    CHAPTER 1 How Brands Work A brand’s idea must be simple in order for its branding to be powerful and compelling. —Allen Adamson1 LEARNING OBJECTIVES In this chapter, you will learn the following: • Why brands have become so important today • About brand identity, image, and personality • How brands reduce consumers’ perceived risks • When brands are used for self-expressive purposes • About the competitive advantages of strong brands In recent years, brands have come to be regarded as many companies’ most valuable assets. For luxury brands, this is no surprise. The names of Louis Vuitton and Gucci and Burberry have long been recognized as commanding premium prices because of the cachet of their brands. What is new is that companies with more utilitarian products—companies such as Procter & Gamble (P&G), Coca-Cola, and Zara—now also claim brands as their most valuable asset. 1Allen P. Adamson is managing director at Landor Associates. The quote is from Adamson (2006, p. 223). 2 ©SAGE Publications CHAPTER 1 How Brands Work 3 How can this be? The simple answer is that consumers have learned to trust brands, so they rely on them when buying. Brands reduce risk, simplify decisions, and offer emotional benefits. When faced with a choice where a trusted brand is available, consumers do not need to evaluate in detail all the features and specifications of the product, they need not worry about not liking the product or being dissatisfied, and they need not worry about peer group disap- proval. In short, the brand reduces functional and psychological risk, simplifies the decision- making process, and in some cases, provides a vehicle for self-expression.
