Summary

Like the ruins of Rome, the traditional pillars of brand equity are cracking under the weight of the higher standards of the 21st century consumer. Marketers are disoriented in this world where they are losing influence with their customers, losing control of their brand messages, and losing trust with consumers. The problem is that marketers are still using road maps designed for the old world to build their brands. Marketers need three navigational aids to guide their brands in this new land — a brand destination, a brand map, and a brand compass. In this report, we will show what your consumer now expects of you and your brand and how to use these tools to navigate your quest for market share and mindshare.
