The Three Rs Of Service Branding: Reach, Recognition, And Reputation

By Robert Croston

Think about your most recent branding campaign. Were your television ads as successful as you'd like them to be? Perhaps the billboards didn't create the recognition that you were looking for, but your online ads on Yahoo! and AOL worked quite well. Did you pick the right professional athlete to represent your firm's services?

If you're reading this far, and you work at most service businesses, you probably think I'm nuts. You don't do any of this.

Well, maybe you're a big firm and you do (kudos to you), or you've tried something here and there. But in most of our service business realities, advertising-as-a-primary-branding-vehicle is not the norm. And it shouldn't be.
