An interesting post courtesy of Taly Weiss pointed me in the direction of Noah Brier’s latest project. It’s called Brand Tags and the idea is simple: You tag brands with the first thing that comes to mind. The thinking went something like this: If brands exist as the sum of all thoughts in someone’s head, then if you ask a bunch of people what a brand is and make a tag cloud, you should have a pretty accurate look at what the brand represents (see picture below).
It’s not dissimilar to traditional ‘free association’ planning tools where you use word or imagery association to build a consumer picture of a brand. Still, an interesting research 2.0 tool to file away in your mental cabinet for a rainy planning session that needs a bit of tech sexiness.
In the meantime, go and have a play here : Brand Tags
Somehow i missed the point. Probably lost in translation 🙂 Anyway … nice blog to visit.
cheers, Likely.
Just found this myself! Very interesting, don’t you think? I am fascinated about the potential that this has to weave brand stories.
Glad to see you back!
