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
