Expect an ROI When You Invest in Your Brand

I had the great pleasure of being in the Superdome for the Saints game yesterday for their game against San Francisco for the top of the NFC. I was surprised to see that the Fan Impact Play was sponsored by Waitr, a food delivery service that went public at the end of 2018 and less than a year later is about to have its stock delisted for trading below $1 per share (they’ve lost almost $900M in value). So, for investors, football isn’t the only thing providing high blood pressure in the Superdome. I can’t imagine how upset their shareholders must be to sit in that dome and watch that logo go up on the big screen as their stock goes down.

When you think about big, bold brands, Nike’s “Just Do It” and Apple’s “Think Different” might be the first thing to come to mind. Those tag lines/campaign slogans are big and bold – but they aren’t brands.

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | Email | Google Podcasts | RSS | More

Human nature is to blend in. Wanting to stand out can be really scary and dangerous. This goes all the way back to the law of the jungle. Why do antelopes and zebras travel in a pack? To blend in. To their predators, the pack down in the plains, looks like one large animal that is too big to consider attacking. There is real safety in numbers.

I was at the 10th annual Ad Age Small Agency Conference last week with hundreds of other agencies from around the country. I had the pleasure of attending the first ever conference 10 years ago, and it was interesting to see how many things have changed (most notably being social media) and what has stayed the same (large agency vs small agency challenges).
