BRAND ENTHUSIASM
AND TRUE
CUSTOMER CENTRICITY

Companies around the world are investing trillions in customer centricity. This is because companies that inspire people are in pole position and are winning brands. But customers are largely unimpressed by this investment: 80% of companies say they are customer-centric – only 8% of customers agree.

DIFFERENTIATION THROUGH RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOUR

» We have to ensure long-term thinking. Management boards and boards of directors have to take on more responsibility for this and companies have to be more committed to society.

In times of major political upheaval and paralysed governments, companies must fill the void that governments leave behind. I think companies won't have any other choice. «

EMOTIONAL BRAND LOYALTY

EMOTIONAL BRAND LOYALTY

Only 24% of brand-conscious customers say they have a strong emotional connection to brands. 76% of customers do not feel a high level of brand loyalty.

COMPANIES ARE UNDER
GREAT PRESSURE!

However, the need to innovate is often much greater than the ability to do so.

1.

They see their market position threatened by innovative competitors and concentrate their efforts on defending their core business.

2.

They do not utilise the growth potential offered by new markets and the use of innovative technologies consistently enough.

3.

Due to a lack of strategic creativity, they do not utilise the business potential arising from the strength of their brand consistently enough.

PROBLEM / SOLUTION

THE PROBLEM

Realise the following three points. Even the most renowned brands are continuously losing their significance and formative influence due to a lack of strategic creativity and innovative strength. They are sometimes in danger of losing their relevance in a sinking or creeping manner (see e.g. Metaverse, Telekom, Tesla). This inevitably leads to deficits and reduces entrepreneurial growth, returns and prosperity.

  • The reasons: global brand overkill, a lack of unique selling points, a low emotional connection quality and a significant lack of emotionally effective brand innovations that inspire and endear people, your customers.
  • Brand personalities without strategic creativity, without deep emotions, are increasingly fading in their digital and analogue spheres of influence. They increasingly wear themselves out in the daily battle for new customers and brand loyalty, in the increasingly complex 24/7 fight for leads and conversions.
  • This means that without strategic creativity and intelligent innovations, brands cannot develop a substantial, truly touching and engaging brand impact (people love new and exciting things). As a result, they cannot attract new target groups for strategic growth.

THE CONSEQUENCES

  • A lack of strategic quality in brand management leads to a lack of successful innovation projects and sometimes triggers significant corporate problems as a result (see Apple, Starbucks, VW, among others).
  • The brand trust built up over the years declines. Growth opportunities and higher brand returns remain unutilised.
  • An anxious, inconsistent brand management that is not geared towards emotional, loyal loyalty and sustainability usually also leads to a strategic and operational lack of effective and successful innovations.

This harms strong and growth-orientated brands and companies. And as a result, it also has serious business and economic consequences that affect and concern us all.

WHAT WE OFFER SOLUTIONS FOR

Strategic innovation development is our core business. Using our eternity model (longevity as a goal), Progressiva develops meaningful, growth-capable and value-adding brand innovations (new products and services) for you, as well as the appropriate design and communication strategy. These innovations give your company glamour and relevance as well as a high emotional depth through a unique brand spirit. And thus make a significant contribution to strengthening your company, your brand reputation and your growth.

OUR POSITION

Building a functioning, customer-enthusiastic and economically successful brand and establishing it at a high level of customer brand loyalty in the long term is, as you know, one of the most challenging and relevant tasks in corporate management (see Apple, Sixt, VW, among others).

We support both small and large companies and NGOs when there is a desire and willingness to optimally exploit all the opportunities and potential of the brand and use this for strategic, sustainable growth.

As a brand developer, incubator and brand investor, we also develop our own brands and social innovation projects with partners and impact investors.

WHAT WE ARE HAPPY ABOUT

If you are interested and we have aroused your curiosity about how strategic creativity can enrich your company and your brands and inspire entrepreneurial growth, then let's have a personal discussion. We can talk about your market, your brand and growth potential together in a relaxed and trusting manner.

» Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. «
