<div style="text-align: left;"><br><span style="color: #3300ff; font-size: 9pt;"><em><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva;">by Richard Earle,</span></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva;"><span style="color: #3300ff; font-size: 9pt;"><em>Regis Senior Associate</em></span><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; color: #660000; font-size: 10pt;"><em>Last month we talked about engaging consumer feelings; framing an emotional “Aura” to be spelled out in a “<strong>Branding Creative Brief</strong>”. Part II discusses how to create this. (And, yes, it does require the whole brain!)</em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; color: #660000; font-size: 10pt;"><em> </em></span><br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; color: #660000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>The Left Brain: </strong></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">We start with the left brain, the source of reason and logic, by designing an “Elevator speech”. Say you are in an elevator, descending. An old friend boards on the 12th floor and says, “Hey! How is that enterprise of yours going these days?” You have 12 floors for a succinct answer. If it is too complicated it will end unfinished. That is your elevator speech. Everyone in your company should know it.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; color: #660000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>The Right Brain: </strong></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">Now the fun part. The right brain is responsible for creativity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong>Target: </strong></span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">We start with a “<strong>Branding Creative Brief</strong>”. Done right, this offers target, benefit, support, tone and style. Gone are the days when Target statements went: “Female, 18 to 34, house hold income of blah-blah.” Now she is described in copywriter Luke Sullivan’s irreverent book <em>Hey Whipple, squeeze this!</em> as “a woman named Jill, who’s been thinking about getting a smaller car. She’s sitting in an airport, bored, trying to pick a Gummi Bear out of her teeth, and reading Time Magazine backwards.” A little over the top, perhaps, but now you have a picture of the target as a person.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong>Benefit: </strong></span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">When re-branding a corporation, a section should contain elements as tight as an elevator speech. You should ideally select one core Benefit from a product’s or service’s attributes. If you are Branding a total organization, it is permissible to have both a Primary and a Secondary Benefit, but going beyond that number can lead to confusion.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong>Support Points:</strong></span> Do not have to all be used in every Ad. They are an arsenal in case there is a need for a lengthy print ad or brochure. Just make sure each supports the Benefit.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong>Desired Action:</strong></span> To support a product or service, the Desired Action is simple: Buy It! If we are re-branding a corporation there can be any number, from changing public perception to introducing new product areas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong>Tone & Style:</strong></span> The second most important aspect of a Brief is to reach out to your Target emotionally, speaking their language. <br><br>Here, of course, we use a great many tools of our trade. Many Branding experts say that if you can appeal to most of the five senses, you will be well Branded.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="color: #3300ff;"><em> </em></span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> <strong> </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; color: #851e20; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A: </span></strong></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">These are highly exciting times. Behind the surface political and financial issues, an emerging group of global entrepreneurs are looking for a “new normal,” with improved models of collaboration being accepted by widening groups. As a result, we are seeing new alignment within our academic culture, leading to improved working systems… by example, student success from registration to completion… as we become ever more data-driven.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> <strong> </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #84333d;"><strong>Q: What changes have been the most troubling to you?</strong></span><strong><br></strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A: </span></strong></span>Movement away from a culture of helping the least able that emerged after WWII, seems to be taking us toward more limited support for those who cannot afford or are less prepared to pursue new opportunities as they emerge. The social network is being strained to a breaking point, with jobs going unfilled because those who do not have the technical skills also have less supporting resources to acquire those skills. As a result, the “training gap” is real.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; color: #84333d; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Q: How will globalization affect your professional area in the near term?</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A: </span></strong></span><span style="color: #660000;"> </span>This is already occurring with visits from global groups to our community, which in turn is rolling into global groups working within and seeking education within our and the surrounding communities. The resulting opportunities this has created for us to touch distant cultures are now increasing in frequency and nature.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div> </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #851e20;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A: </span></strong></span>Implementing academic changes to help students complete their goals, as we emerge from difficult times, is a critical, but tough, path. In an environment of restricted resources, the balancing of outcomes among our colleges is difficult. This is particularly true because of the nature of the restrictions on resources over the past several years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #84333d;"><strong>Q: What are the greatest challenges confronting young professionals in Western culture today?</strong><strong> </strong></span></span></div>

Being globally aware is import for our local young people. Response to this particular challenge has moved slowly, and we are intent on helping pick up the pace.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 9pt;">

<div>Last month we began offering a new business tool each week without obligation to our many friends in business around the world. The first series of tools are posted on our website. <a rel="www.regisgroup.com" href="http://www.regisgroup.com/">www.regisgroup.com</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>We are now seeking your feedback, suggestions and thoughts as to the type of tools that would be of the most value to you. At the end of this month we will begin to restructure the placement of the emerging content list on our website. As a result we are also seeking your thoughts as to the most logical subject categories to organize the emerging list.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the next weeks we will be posting the methods for using the TRG “Single Document” process, followed by working pieces on branding and media relations.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please! Let us know which of these tools have been useful to you and which additional tools you might like to see posted...</div>
<div>And as always... your contribution to our BizSpeaks are ALWAYS appreciated.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best wishes to all of our friends</div>
