At Truly Deeply, we are always look­ing for new and inno­v­a­tive ways to help our clients bring their brands alive.  At the heart of this, is a firm belief that to be truly effec­tive, every brand touch­point must be reflec­tive of the brand’s essence.   A brand’s essence, is a sin­gle thought that encap­su­lates the soul of who that brand is.  It expresses clearly what the brand stands for in a sim­ple and pow­er­ful man­ner and it under­pins the fun­da­men­tal promise to clients.  This promise is one of its most impor­tant assets and one that needs to be lever­aged across all cus­tomer touch points.  For most, the essence is never explic­itly com­mu­ni­cated unlike a cor­po­rate or cam­paign tagline, but is rather the thought behind its actions.  This thought dri­ves every aspect of the brand.  One brand who is par­tic­u­larly skilled at liv­ing its essence, is Britain’s T-Mobile.

Viva La Dig­i­tal Brand Rev­o­lu­tion
We love the way the dig­i­tal rev­o­lu­tion has seam­lessly woven into the way we live our lives. In so many ways the way we do things today inte­grates a dig­i­tal ele­ment whether shop­ping for a car or a pair of jeans — shar­ing pho­tos from our hol­i­days, or shar­ing what we got up to on the week­end. It’s vir­tu­ally impos­si­ble to track the way we intu­itively uti­lize dig­i­tal in our daily lives.

This great visual from Google data Arts and Punk & But­ler will blow your mind just that lit­tle bit further…

As air­lines con­tinue to strug­gle for dif­fer­en­ti­a­tion, KLM hopes its new ‘Meet and Seat’ pro­gramme might be another incen­tive for you to choose them.

It’s a bold ini­tia­tive that rides the social media wave and may well pro­vide a valu­able brand ges­ture that enhances the fly­ing expe­ri­ence. How­ever, for those who enjoy the soli­tude of air travel, will this actu­ally be a turn-off?

Some­time ago before the release of 20th Cen­tury Fox’s movie ‘Chron­i­cle’, viral mar­ket­ing agency Thinkmodo was approached to bring the movie to the peo­ple. The film fol­lows three friends as they form a close bond after receiv­ing tele­ki­netic and fly­ing abil­i­ties from an unknown object. In per­fect reflec­tion to the low bud­get movie, so was the mar­ket­ing. The agency cus­tom built three remote con­trolled air­craft shaped like humans and put them in the air over New York and New Jersey.

A study from Duke Uni­ver­sity, USA found that a whop­ping 45 per­cent of the choices we make every day are formed by habits. With this in mind you can imag­ine what an incred­i­ble feat it is to change a consumer’s pur­chas­ing behav­iour, but one that many mar­keters attempt to achieve.

You’ve only got to turn on the tele or open a news­pa­per to be reminded of the obses­sion we have in this coun­try with retail price dis­count­ing. Whether sell­ing doors or door­mats, books or bras, tele­vi­sions or toys, hav­ing a Super Sum­mer Sale or a Mas­sive Mark­down Mad­ness is the fall back mar­ket­ing strat­egy of choice for many Aus­tralian retailers.

It’s not every day we get all hot and steamy about a new mem­ber of the team — but Wednes­day this week wasn’t just any other day. We’re all pretty pumped around the Truly Deeply stu­dio to intro­duce… Our new espresso machine.

No we’re not addicted to our hit(s) of espresso.
Yes, we have taken our love affair to a new level with this bad boy.

If you haven’t been in to visit us for a while — or if the cof­fee your cur­rent agency serves-up sucks — why not drop by for a Truly Deeply visit. You know you want to.

Sports­girl in Aus­tralia has had con­sid­er­able media cov­er­age this week with its so called Win­dow Shop in Chapel Street Mel­bourne, the first of many inter­ac­tive shop­ping bill­boards the cloth­ing retailer plans to erect in var­i­ous loca­tions. The bill­boards fea­ture images of key fash­ion items that con­sumers can pur­chase by scan­ning the items bar­code with their iPhone.
