How do we receive Branding?
Think Branding with Google

  • Connect with your customers in moments that matter
  • Life is made up of moments, Google wants to create and remember these moments (Wake up, 3pm Pick me up, winding down after work, spending time with my dog)
  • Millions of moments throughout the day to connect with consumers
  • The first moment of truth: first contact with product
  • The reality is there is a lot in between first contact and purchase
  • But before you capture intent you need to create demand, stimulus

The evolution of video

  • Advertisers can target consumers and reach them in a way like never before
  • Consumers can be measured like never before

  • TV Show: Style (700,000 viewers per episode) Michelle does twice that

YouTube

  • 1980: distribution: build towers across the country, high cost of entry, advertisers needed to contact 100% of consumers
  • 2010: 100s of channels, specific channels, great for consumers AND advertisers
  • IMPACT: 75% is on these new channels, 25% on the old channels

Internet: YouTube
Cable, Broadbrand, Web Video
TREND: 2 billion people online. 90% of web traffic is video

Brands need to start thinking like content creators
