Create a Powerful Brand Experience and use it to dominate your competitors.
Why do you buy from a brand? What keeps you going back to them?
There are cheaper competitors out there. You know you’ll get a similar product elsewhere.
What sense is there to have a favourite?
If there is no point, how are some brands able to recruit legions of loyalists?
The answer = a well-crafted brand experience.
Brand experiences are what keep us going back to our favourite brands time and time again – through the good times and the bad. They’re what help us ignore their weaknesses and love their strengths. They don’t aim to make customers of us, they want us to become brand fanatics!
A powerful brand experience is made up of 3 parts:

What’s the difference?

An average brand:
- gets planned when a business starts
- gets designed
- consists mainly of a vision, a mission, some values and a logo
- then gets put in a drawer.

A Brand Experience:
- gets planned around the customer
- is designed to touch every part of the business
- has everything an average brand has, but focuses on ‘brand initiatives’
- is used in day-to-day decision making
- is an ever-evolving organism
I’ve designed this process to be as simple as possible. So don’t worry if right now you’re thinking:
“I don’t understand how a brand converts into sales”
“I don’t know enough about marketing to build a brand experience”
“I don’t know how to understand customers better”
It’s your job to know your product, service and market really well. It’s mine to show you how to build a brand experience for your customers and your team!

“Burning Need has really helped me identify how to speak the language of my clients. I know my services inside out, but I get too sucked into offering them and so it’s tough to know how to position them in the market. Stuart helped me crystallise what my brand actually means to my customers, so that I could focus on building a great brand experience. He’s been fantastic to work with – very professional, efficient and most importantly results-driven!”
Dr. Lalitaa Suglani, Performance-led Executive Psychologist.
The Powerful Brand Experience is an all-invasive mindset shift.
It changes how you look at all areas of your business to focus relentlessly on deepening the connection with your audience. Are you ready to get started?
