Expanding your brand across Africa
Hi Nonye, great write up indeed. Loved it. It is absolutely true that iti is 'the human truth' that connects us as consumers and even as people. While I agree with Tim that our desires and needs often cut across race, religion and beliefs that have global similarity; the issue of 'differentiation' must not be ignored in the push for universal homogeneity. What has kept Africa in the shadows for so long is our belief that a European or American branding and creative concept must fit our perspectives. It never does. So, quite clearly we must consider local factors in every country system we hope to impact in. In investing in Africa we must identify the 'differentiating' factor that makes Angola, for instance, different from Cote de Voire and use that as the basis for creating unique branding concepts that can impact favourably in our choice target market. Of course ROI is evidently the final arbiter for assessing how effective our branding and marketing concepts did, but success in any market, particularly in Africa, comes with some degree of 'differentiation'-appreciation in our research process.

Absolutely! As digital clutter grows and grows like Topsy, print will become even more valuable and effective. But measurable or at least demonstrable ROI is important. Posted on 15 Nov 2012 15:41

Managing clients' expectations
An interesting read, especially when so often PR is perceived as a 'cheap' / quick fix instead of a long-term brand building investment. Posted on 15 Nov 2012 14:39

Graffiti gets Guess styling with new branded vehicles
The creative talent pool is clearly shallowing.

Guess this is just another waste of money.

Respectfully Reg, every time someone points out the fatal flaw in a Hunt LascarisTBWA campaign, are you going to send out a press release lauding everybody for doing it? This site is going to be full if you are not careful. Posted on 15 Nov 2012 09:08

Graffiti gets Guess styling with new branded vehicles
Is it just me or does this look like a billboard stuck on the side of a car?

An 'x-ray' image of Guess models (male and female) partying inside the car could have looked better? A 'peak' into the life of the Guess brand. Posted on 14 Nov 2012 16:38
