Capturing Customer Loyalty (John Larson)

In work done across a broad series of different industries, including both business-to-business and business-to-consumer, it is found that creating strong levels of customer loyalty leads to greater sales and profit growth. We find that truly loyal customers give you a greater share of their business, are less price-sensitive, are cheaper to serve and are more willing to recommend your products and services to others. For one client we found that their truly loyal customers were over eight times more profitable than their average customer.

This webinar by John Larson will present these findings and then discuss how to handle three critical challenges that companies face when they try to increase customer loyalty.

Brand Safety (Raji Srinivasan)

Brands want their ads to run against content they’re proud to associate with. But because of the programmatic nature of most digital advertising, brands have been forced to hand over control of ad placement to the algorithms of companies like Google and Facebook. Unfortunately, some brands have been seeing their advertisements placed next to extremist or controversial content just because those pieces are generating a lot of engagement or activity. Companies in every market need to ensure the safety of their brand by assuring the quality and nature of the content that brands are running ads against, some of which may be offensive and hurt the brand’s reputation. This webinar by Professor Raji Srinivasan will highlight strategies that companies can employ to ensure the safety of their brands.

Customer-based Strategy to Grow Sales (Hari Sridhar)

A 2006 study showed that customer satisfaction is the only metric that predicts sales, market share, gross margin, cash flow, and shareholder return.

As such, B2B firms invest heavily in strategic initiatives that are not aligned to customer needs. This webinar by Professor Hari Sridhar will present a systematic methodology and multiple B2B case studies to show how B2B firms can use customer‐satisfaction to drive strategic priorities and predict financial outcomes.

Principles and Best Practices in Brand Portfolio Strategy and Architecture (Mitch Duckler)

Brands represent a company’s most valuable intangible asset, and as such must be managed strategically. This requires developing a thoughtful brand portfolio strategy; one that defines the optimal number, scope and strategic role for each brand within the portfolio. Only then can more tactical brand architecture decisions be made, such as: 1) how brands should relate to one another, 2) when a corporate brand should endorse a product brand, and 3) whether and to what extent visual identity and other expression elements should be shared across brands. This webinar helps participants understand the key components that comprise a brand portfolio strategy, and how these components relate to and inform brand architecture decision-making. In doing so, it leverages best practices, guiding principles, and real-world examples.
