Rich Internet Applications That Build Brands

by Ron Rogowski

with Harley Manning, Steven Geller

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Compared with HTML, rich Internet applications (RIAs) offer greater interactivity, improved user experiences, and better differentiation. But most firms miss out on the brand-building potential of RIAs. To help companies that struggle with this problem, we uncovered examples of RIAs that provide top-notch user experiences and complement key brand attributes. Firms looking to differentiate their brands through online functionality should start with a clear understanding of user goals, maintain a relentless focus on brand attributes, enlist expert help, and test designs for compliance with brand positioning before going live.
