A Vision-Driven Guide to HyperMarketing Plans for the Brand with Your Name On It

The most important brand in the world is you. Not Google, not Coke and not Sony as changes to these brands don't really affect you as much as what happens to your personal and professional brand. All things being equal, a brand with a plan has more chances of success than a brand with no plan. So why not use marketing and business principles for the brand called you. Drive it with vision and constantly achieve!

"Many people overestimate what they can do in a year but more people underestimate what they can do in a decade."- Anthony Robbins in Awakening the Giant Within.

No Ice and Unlimited Rice


When I order vendo-dispensed softdrinks from any fastfood chain, I cant help but make a special request of "no ice". Why? I can't let myself be robbed of 10% of the softdrink contents in exchange for relatively worthless ice. Why not? Because, even without the ice, the drink is really cold enough.

A chinese proverb goes something like this: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Once upon a time I left a fastfood chain with  my empty soda cup with a lot of ice. Much wiser now, I leave with the softdrinks safe in my tummy and "no ice" on the cup.



I have heard this at least twice: Mang Inasal is being considered as a serious threat by Jollibbee. It will not be surprising if this is true as Mang Inasal came out of the blue in 2003 (or green as its brand colors go) to build as many as 263 stores as of today and aiming to have 500 stores by 2012.  (Source: http://www.manginasal.com/mi/about.html). To put Mang Inasal's phenomenal growth in perspective, McDonald's started in 1981 and has over 300 stores (http://www.mcdonalds.com.ph/). Jollibbee, the leader, started in 1978 and has over 600 local and 50 international stores (http://www.jollibee.com.ph/index.php?/about_us/contents/1).

What's the differentiator? Surprisingly, the battle is not on the chicken but on the "unlimited rice". This "eat all you can offer" on the rice has touched the hearts and stomachs of a lot of Filipinos. So, you dont have to be the best on everything, and perhaps the essential learning here is that you should be at least "unbeatable" on 1 thing.

So, what's your "no ice" (something you can do without) and "unlimited rice" (your competitive advantage which you absolutely can't live without).

Creative Communication on a Shoestring Marketing Budget

Do you have only a limited amount to spend for marketing communications? Don't worry. Just be more creative (really, do you have a choice?)

I created this 30 sec TVC with Jay Adlao and Outbound Asia last March 2010 for my client, DTSI. Prior to starting this with Jay, the client I was working for received a firm quote from another production house for the same material.

Can you guess how much this final TVC cost?



Can you also guess how much the other production house quoted?
