Brand marketing in trying economic times

An "Evidentiary Brand" structures its case on a set of distinguishing truths that project a brand's virtues in a meaningful way and play to the emotions of the jury—the target audience—thereby improving the odds of a favorable brand verdict, the authors write in the current (Fall 2008) edition of Brandchannel.com.

Their paper demonstrates how success in winning the hearts and minds of skeptical consumers can be improved by taking a closer look at what it takes a trial lawyer to win the hearts and minds of a jury, the authors argue in the interesting and practical paper.

The information and arguments in the white paper are useful ones for food marketers of all sorts, regardless if they're a brand marketer for a huge global consumer packaged goods company or a medium to small natural or specialty foods company.
