Masterclass: Avoiding the Hero Trap, Building a Transformative Brand

In this masterclass, you will learn:

• How to avoid purpose-washing and find your organisation’s true relevance
• How to play a more meaningful and authentic role in people’s lives
• How to create behaviour change at scale and ultimately unlock sales.

Modules:

1. Change begins with “who?”: An introduction to the methodology and thinking
2. Me is the new mass: The mass-production and mass-marketing era is losing its power to the democratisation of everything from businesses to media.
3. Catalysts of the good life: People don’t buy stuff, they buy a better me. Deliver personal distinction: a gain of knowledge, experience or acquired skills.
4. Motivation, the untold story: The market is shifting from an experience economy where it’s about value alignment with people to a transformation econ- omy where it’s about making people’s lives better across body and mind.
5. The arrow towards a better you: We don’t buy what you make or why you make it but WHO you can make me become. Introduction to creating a transformative brand with the tool: The Arrow.
6. The transformative promise: There’s a market pressure on purpose to evolve from a societal benefit to a tangible outcome for people – a transformative promise.
7. The WHO void: Most products and services are generic, asking WHO moves the organisation from low interest to high interest as it enables people to achieve their goals. Tools: The WHO void and The People Transformation Canvas.
8. The business case: Exploring the business case and why transformative campaigns outperform purposeful campaigns
9. Pass the steering wheel: People are increasingly looking for meaning and participation across the marketing mix from promotion to product. Introduction to the tool: The Wheel – and how to activate transformation across the marketing mix.
10. The five transformative market forces: Learn how to use The Wheel and innovate across the marketing mix and open up for people’s participation and resources.
11. A transformative platform: Most marketing activities don’t offer enough opportunities for engagement; never be afraid to open up for people’s creative input and urge to create. Get to know the 8 guidelines for a transformative platform.
12. The human re-evolution: Painting the bigger picture. Globally increasing living standards and materialism fatigue, combined with digitalisation, automation, robotics and bio- tech, are strengthening the development towards a market driven by self-actualisation.
