Principles Lead Your Brand

Posted in: Blog, Marketing by Paul McEwan on May 5, 2010

Successful advertising and marketing is about knowing your businesses basic principles and allowing them to lead your conversations and interactions. Whether it’s an ad campaign or social network marketing, it should not be about convincing someone to like you. It should be about giving reasons to try you.

People don’t believe they need help in this area because even the largest corporations do it by convincing rather than using principles and incentive driven methods. Look at BP.  British Petroleum changed their name to Beyond Petroleum to “Greenwash” their brand. How is that working out for them?
