Bravo

It's the same again! hehehehe

That's utterly wrong. Branding NOTHING to do with a label. It's to do with emotions. Marketing is an incredibly complicated science born from data

You are partially correct but how you differentiate your product without any customer emotion like loyalty or identity attach to that, A brand is not a logo or a label only it's more than that to a user with which they feel associate very proudly as part of their identity therefore they are willing to pay more for it than what they normally should.

Marketing is focused on customer needs and retention

Thank you

Most of these guy's content has devolved into incredibly vague statements about basically nothing.

Ye i totally agree. He needs to stop posting these shorts, there is a lot of context and reasoning missing in whatever claim he tries to make. In result it makes what he says nonsensical.

Branding, how you want others to see your product. Marketing, efforts made for sales of the brand through product or other way.

Totally agree. There is so much that fits that definition from volunteer work to management consulting. In my mind, and very generally speaking, branding is the process of shaping the image customers have of what it is a company does, says, delivers. Branding can be a part of marketing, which in turn is a complex set of activities that is concerned with capturing and clarifying value, translating value to customers, and generating customer insights. And that's already a rough and broad definition.

That's a healthier way to answer it. I could also branding is creating the story. Marketing is telling it and make it practical. Branding is the software marketing is the hardware. Branding is the feeling and marketing is the action behind the feeling. Marketing is the asking of a girl out on a date branding is the reason they came.

I think spirit is what the brand is to others. What personality it gives, what energy it exudes, what it makes others feel.

I just say that the brand is a personality and identity of the business. Not only will it have it's introversion or extroversion components but it'll also be more abstract (intuitive) or literal (sensing)

I know it's been about a year but I've always been fascinated by the topic of the soul, body and spirit. If we are to look at branding in the same way. 1. The Spirit is a non-physical entity of the human body that exists in the body and is the entity that accesses the spiritual realm. When our physical body dies, our spirit still leaves on in the spirit realm. In branding, that could be what other people say u are. That even when you are not present, some form of you still lives on in the back of their mind. 2. The Soul: The consciousness. The way a human thinks, acts and behaves. It's the personality that people interact with. Also an un-seen entity. 3. The physical body: The visuals basically. How you dress etc as u mentioned. This is what people see, and notice. Take for example, a lady dressed really well walking down the street. People will take notice of her. A brave lad may approach her to ask her on a date, that's when the manifestation of the soul happens. However the woman replies will reflect on who she is, if the brave lad has asked her on a date respectfully. If the lady has been also respectful, whether she accepted the date or rejected it, this man will remember her. Hence the spirit. At least that's how I theorize it.

Glad to hear

But what is going to make you want to proof before you publish? Aw, it's just a YT comment. No harm, no foul. >_< ... I lied. FIX IT!! Okay, I'm okay.

You taking about Donald Miller?

@@thefutur Yup.

Marketing is the generous act of helping others achieve their goals. When a surgeon does this, what do you do? Tell others I imagine. Your definition is too broad. Try reading this is marketing by Seth Godin. It’s where the definition comes from.

@@thefutur I thought that might be the reply, that’s why I included ‘anonymous’ surgeon, because if you couldn’t tell anyone about them, would it still be marketing from your position. In actual fact, the line of thinking you follow paints far more broad of a stroke than my definition because it could literally apply to everything and at that point, you might as well not even call it marketing. Giving a client directions to a coffee shop after a meeting? MARKETING 101 haha, no. ‘Solving problems’ is too broad. I’ve read most of Godins books and listened to his podcasts, I agree with most of what he says but this, I just can’t get on board with. Primarily because I see him using it as a shield against the trope that marketing (business) is purely capitalistic and evil. It’s a soft, pretentious (and I don’t mean this in a derogatory way to Seth) weak way to veil an accusation that can and should be rationalised to people in a more significant way. To me, I’ve always felt that with this statement in particular, Seth is either; 1: using it to hide in plain sight, protecting himself from the obvious slander most business professionals get thrown at them by the ill-informed. 2: He has actually tried to believe that statement, in which case he must be conflicted about the line of work he’s in, because I know he’s too intelligent to actually think it makes sense. It’s GREAT marketing for him haha and not a coincidence that the second word is “generous”, the antithesis of greed. Great marketing; doesn’t help anyone solve any problems, but does convey a distinct message. Now I think of it, ironically that statement itself actually proves my point. Appreciate the thought provoking conversation, have a great day and keep up the good work ✌🏻

@@stillkingcam No that's not the case. Would you just go to any surgeon at all? Probably not. You're probably going to find the best surgeon who can get the job done and can ease your anxiety about the surgery. How the hell would they do that? Marketing. Before you even have the surgeon work on you, marketing is helping you decide on which one to choose before you get the surgery. The way you articulated the opposition was disingenuous and wild mischaracterization. Therefore, your rebuttal was not sufficient. Solving their problems isn't too broad. It's sufficiently broad, because the only reason why someone would be seeking a service or product is to solve a problem. This isn't rocket science. The marketing helps you decide; that's the problem.
