Brand Purpose & Mission

Der Brand Purpose 1 beantwortet die Frage danach, warum es die Marke gibt und wonach sie strebt 2 3 und steht im Zentrum des Brand Holosphere Model. Er wird durch Key Values und z.B. auch die Brand Personality gestützt 4 und formuliert die langfristige Herausforderung bzw. das Ziel der Marke 5, auf das alle Mitarbeiter und Aktivitäten täglich hinarbeiten. Wichtig ist die Unterscheidung von ähnlichen Konzepten wie z.B. Vision und Essenz 6.

Brand Purpose

Der Brand Purpose soll Mitarbeiter und Partner inspirieren und motivieren 7 und im besten Fall so prägnant und knapp formuliert sein, dass er auf ein T-Shirt gedruckt werden könnte. Das Ziel soll dabei realistisch und damit erreichbar, unwiderstehlich und dadurch wirksam, und aufrichtig, und damit greifbar, sein 8. In der Regel ist eine klare Überzeugung bzw. ein deutlicher Standpunkt Basis des Brand Purpose. Sei es eine Realität, eine Ungerechtigkeit, ein Marktsituation, die es zu ändern gilt. Durch den Purpose tritt die Marke als Held 9 auf und kämpft gegen eben diesen Missstand, oder für eine Idee. Grundsätzlich soll die prägnante Formulierung darin unterstützen, die Marke als Betrachter des Modells möglichst schnell zu erfassen.

Fundamental Believe

Als besonders praktikabel in der Erarbeitung kann die Aufteilung in Fundamental Believe und Brand Purpose betrachtet werden (siehe Beispiele weiter unten). Der Fundamental Believe kann als eine Art Glaubensbekenntnis verstanden werden, hinter das sich alle Mitarbeiter stellen können und mögen. Der Believe bringt eine Weltanschauung zum Ausdruck und fungiert als Herleitung zum Purpose.

We Believe _____

That’s why we exist to ____

Choose your Battle

Die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit diesen Fragen kann darin unterstützen den Purpose einer Marke und ihrer Organisation zu identifizieren.

Was ist unsere tiefe Überzeugung?
Wogegen kämpfen wir in dieser Welt an?
Wofür kämpfen wir in dieser Welt?

  26. Building with a user-first mindset means being bothered by the way things are. Accept nothing as a given. Ask yourself, how would I build this if I were to build it from scratch, right now? One of my favorite examples of this is Meredith Perry, founder of uBeam. She dared to ask why charging devices couldn’t be easier—and created a new technology for wireless charging using the power of sound when we simply walk into a room. We start at Google with a relentless focus on delighting the user with unexpectedly fast, easy, helpful experiences.(back)
  27. Users want things fast, so prioritize speed in your design. Are you getting your customers what they want as fast as you possibly can? Our search team asks themselves this as they reimagine the search experience with features like the ability to search while you type, or knowledge cards that show you everything you might want to know about, say, the Taj Mahal, as soon as you look for it. To build for speed, you also have to be fast. Is your organization structured around making your products more and more successful? Or are silos and cumbersome processes slowing you down and holding back innovation?(back)
  28. It’s easy to get bogged down trying to improve things by 10 percent when your focus should be on how to improve things by 10x. Setting your sights on a big, daunting target rallies people to do amazing things and ensures that the change you’ll see will be truly transformational, not incremental. Push your teams to ask “why not?” Are we building for today or for what the future needs to look like? As Larry Page says, have a “healthy disregard for the impossible.” Thinking like this is what inspires our team to invest in projects like Loon, which aims to connect those in rural and remote areas to the Internet with high-altitude balloons.(back)
  29. Most leaders are biased to the present: pressures from the market for returns, too many backward-looking metrics, and urgent matters often trumping important ones. True business transformation takes three to four years, at least. Ask yourself, “what share of my organization is focused on the future?” If it is far less than the share of the business you want to build, it is highly likely that this alone may keep you from getting there.(back)
  30. Advancements in technology make it far easier to test new ways of doing things. Breaking new ground typically requires relentless experimentation: test, learn, iterate. Instilling a culture of reimagination is underpinned by people not fearing that failure will hold back their careers, as long as they are in pursuit of a really big goal. Ask yourself: who is at the top of your organization? Are they risk takers or only from well-trod paths? Do you celebrate what you learn from failures as much as what you learn from winning?(back)
  31. When you are working to reimagine, success is driven by people. Technology is merely an enabler to challenge boundaries. Be uncompromising in pursuing the best people and screen carefully for the skills that really matter: great problem solving and learning agility, a bias for action, and comfort with ambiguity. Ensure you have a diverse range of perspectives. Do your leaders reflect your customers of today and the future? Are there enough people who ask unexpected questions, who sometimes make you uncomfortable? Move leaders regularly to refresh them. Most people do their best and most creative work when they are outside their comfort zone.(back)
