A5. B2C envy. True that B2C brand work has a broader emotional palette, but B2B is still about people, and brand has to resonate #1NChat

A5. We also find that marketers often think that brand is for organizations that are "bigger/smaller/more specialized" than theirs. #1Nchat

.@jaesunum What tools do you use to measure increased awareness? Do some work better than others? #1Nchat teapawt.net/jaesunum/status/641682…

.@grafeedie What about compelling content: Rich video? Thought leadership? Data visualization? #1NChat teapawt.net/grafeedie/status/64168…
A3. Face-to-face and eye-to-eye. Old school still the best. #1NChat

Replying to @JHMadarang
@JHMadarang @happy_stomach @OneNorth And who are they talking to? Keeping the customer in mind, always, is key. #1NChat
Here's an add on question to Q2: Is it part of your regular marketing routine? Does it play an active role in your planning process? #1NChat

A1: Brand is the sticky glue between business strategy and customer experience. #1NChat

#1Nchat I think we need to be careful about the difference between differentiation and brand. teapawt.net/happy_stomach/status/6…
