Few brands have stayed as connected to their core message—and their consumers—as Apple. It’s not just about computers; it’s about freeing you from complexity. From the iconic “1984” spot introducing the Macintosh to the playful “I’m a Mac” vs. “I’m a PC” ads, Apple found a way to make the complicated feel effortless and the ordinary feel extraordinary. The strategy? Consistency, emotion, and simplicity that built one of the world’s most loved brands. 👉 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲. https://lnkd.in/emt8Xeu8 Are we missing any from your all-time Apple favorites?

If all a brand ever says is "buy me now," consumers will eventually forget why they should buy you at all.

A brand's long-term growth isn't just about today's sale—it's about consistently communicating your point of difference, connecting with consumers on an emotional level, and building a desire that grows stronger over time. When done right, the sale becomes almost irresistible. You might not even need the trigger. In my experience, balancing the immediate push for sales with the long-term strategy is where brands find their sweet spot. It's easy to chase quick wins, but the brands that stand the test of time are the ones that never stop telling their story.

Every child learns about the legacy of Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, whose iconic poem became a symbol of remembrance and resilience. His words and the red poppy have come to signify the sacrifices of war and the peace we enjoy today. Each year, brands like Bell Canada create powerful ads that honor our veterans, sharing stories that capture the essence of remembrance in the most moving ways. From the perspective of a little girl learning about the significance of the poppy to a young man calling his grandfather from Dieppe, these ads beautifully capture the spirit of gratitude. 🌺 Take a moment this Remembrance Day to watch these beautiful ads that bring Canada’s memories to life.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲: • 𝗘𝗻𝗱-𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿: The person with the immediate need, driven by how the purchase will directly impact their role and performance. • 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿: The ultimate authority who approves the purchase, weighing the business results and strategic impact. • 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿: Focused on procurement, the buyer is looking for cost savings and comparisons. • 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲: This is the wild card—someone within the organization offering advice and influence from the sidelines. In a non-linear B2B world, where decisions can feel random and cluttered, understanding the unique motivations behind each role is essential. As B2B marketers, you need to ask yourself: What will they see? What will they think? What will drive them to act? What could make your message resonate or fall flat?

Our definition of consumer insights is the little secrets hidden beneath the surface that explain the underlying behaviors, motivations, pain points, and emotions of your consumers. Consumer insights come to life through your advertising when told in such a captivating way that makes consumers stop and say, “Hmmm, that’s exactly how I feel. I thought I was the only one who felt like that.” That’s why we laugh when seeing how consumer insight is projected with humor. That is why we get goosebumps when a consumer insight is projected with inspiration. And, that’s why we cry when the consumer insight comes alive through real-life drama.

When we lead with strategy and allow creativity to flourish, the results speak for themselves. In today’s fast-paced environment, many marketers get deeply involved in the creative execution. But here’s the thing: if you’re doing the work, who’s stepping back to critique and decide if it aligns with your strategy?

Our creative checklist was designed to help you play your role as the strategist, letting the execution experts do what they do best. After all, when you ask what you should do instead of telling what to do, that’s when real options emerge, and smart decisions follow. 👀 𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gwtKmx3j
