The Lean Brand Model:

A Proprietary Model That Establishes The Fundamentals For Improved Market Performance

The Lean Brand Model ™ was created through hardwon experience working in hyper-competitive markets with emerging leaders and established brands including IBM, Nokia, GSK, Coca Cola, Diageo, P&G, Unilever, Waitrose, Disney, and Peugeot.

Here’s what we’ve learned:

Without a clear, demonstrable customer value proposition you’re going to lose more than you win.

There’s simply too much competition in the marketplace, and too little willingness for consumers to pay attention.

Essentially, it’s about walking and talking.

Strategic Drivers

Everything starts by developing profound buyer insight, what we call ‘The Need’. It begins by having clearly defined archetypes, understanding the journey from research to purchase, and ultimately what triggers the consumer to buy.

Understanding the buyer leads naturally into having a provable Customer Value Proposition. A provable promise is the core of your brand strategy. Gone are the days of empty campaign slogans. Nowadays, if you can’t prove it, you shouldn’t say it – demonstrating your CVP through all of your points of engagement is the cornerstone for producing sales and marketing results.

Providing Proof

Great brands walk the talk, and this means Deeds, or how your business behaves, is foundational to outperforming its competitors. We’ll work with you to help design or re-assess the ingredients for more customer-centric products and services.

And finally, it comes down to Words, more specifically helping you understand both the context and form your engagement campaigns should take. We’ll help you craft your messaging and digital-first programs that are measurable and adaptable.
