WHAT IT MEANS TO LOCALIZE YOUR BRAND

And why so many National Brands still haven’t figured it out.

For many national brands, one of the biggest challenges is how to find ways to connect with a local audience. For global brands such as Coke or Nike, this localization is of less concern due to the fact that they aren’t competing against established local brands.

CAMP OZARK, EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS AND THE PROMISE BEHIND THE BRAND

How to use emotional connections to build strong brands

When it comes to branding, there is nothing more important than forming emotional connections with your audience. In the end, that’s the essence of what branding is all about – a person’s gut feeling about a product, service or organization. Sometimes these emotional connections are carefully planned and organized, and sometimes they come organically from the most unlikely of places. One such place is located in the small town of Mt. Ida, Arkansas, and hidden there in the middle of nowhere is a place called Camp Ozark.
