RESEARCH

Yulia BURLAKOVA Brands are old myths about the essence
The agency Young&Rubicam offered a new method of brand valuation called Y&Rchetype created according to Carl Jung’s archetypes. The method’s aim is the Brand Meaning Management. Analysis is made with the help of Method’s map, divided into the zones corresponding to 13 archetypes, which are located on the following axes: Thought-Emotion and Substance-Energy. The method allows to discuss the brand essence with consumers and creative staff on an intuitive level.

Elena PETROVA. Why does a brand-manager need to know about archetypes?
Usage of mythical patterns gives to chaotic experiences recognizable and predictable traits. Add a familiar image to a brand and the “engine for taking decisions” is ready for work.

The Added Value: comprehension of branding capabilities is the most important.
An interview with one of the The Added Value’s chiefs, David Nichols, who said: “If you want to create brand that works you should penetrate into its emotional personality. We try to understand people from other countries, their politics and culture better. We use the trend corridor of Tokyo – Los-Angeles – New-York – London as well: so the tendency is that if a new thing appears in Tokyo then it appears in Los-Angeles, New-York and London and only after that in Sydney or Moscow”.

WORKSHOP

Margarita VASILIEVA. Mysteries of conceptual names
In the Tarkovsky’s movie “The Stalker” the Zone fulfils the real desires of men and not the ones they thought real. The process of choosing the name is very close to a visit into the mystery room – the real desires of business men appear here. What does he have on his mind: brand construction, a wish to distinguish from the others or to slip through the crowd?

Vadim USKOV. Search or buy?
This is the question in the course of new brandnames. Because there are some spheres (bakery, for example) where all the names are practically registered. And the clients are ready to pay for an already registered name. Another reason is lack of time when the name is needed very quickly. So, the names’ market looks like a substitute purchase but it is more ethical than the actions of the patentee racket.

How small “Toro-Pyshky” made grown-ups cry of joy

After the beginning of a national campaign this commercials have become favorites of the public and now you can here the quotations from them in the streets.

The advertising was made in an ironical style with a slogan : “Peace, Friendship, Toro-Pyshky” which is a copywriter joke.

How “Lickspittle”, “Pig-headed”, “Greedy pers” and “Sneak” have eaten a share of the ice-cream market
