Transcripts

Speaker:

Objectively your brand may be quite extraordinary.

Speaker:

I'm not sure what it is for you, but maybe you're very innovative,

Speaker:

years ahead of the competition.

Speaker:

Or you adhere to much more ethical work practices.

Speaker:

Or you foster sustainable production while at the same time delivering

Speaker:

the highest production quality.

Speaker:

Someone looking objectively of how you do what you do should come

Speaker:

to the same conclusion as you do.

Speaker:

This is simply extraordinary.

Speaker:

Looking at objectively might not be the point though.

Speaker:

In fact, looking subjectively is.

Speaker:

People do look subjectively.

They ask things like:

how does this fit into how I see the world?

They ask things like:

Or is it useful for me?

They ask things like:

Or does it make me happy?

They ask things like:

Or even what will my peers think?

They ask things like:

And they are right with looking through that lens.

They ask things like:

I mean, they owe you nothing.

They ask things like:

In particular, they don't owe you objectivity.

They ask things like:

They didn't ask you to make the product you made it.

They ask things like:

And now you're asking them to buy it.

They ask things like:

They will do so if they decide it's for them.

They ask things like:

But they will always decide from their subjective perspective.

They ask things like:

What makes a brand so difficult to grasp and so difficult to communicate

They ask things like:

is that everyone looks from their own subjective perspective.

They ask things like:

So when you communicate your product and you want people to fall in love

They ask things like:

with the product It might not be so much about why that thing that you've

They ask things like:

built is objectively better, but how you can address the right people who

They ask things like:

are looking from the right perspective so that what you consider to be

They ask things like:

objectively better is also and at the same time subjectively better for them.

They ask things like:

So how do people look at your brand and what do they see?
