TRANSCRIPT
Research has shown that the
average American attention span in
2000 was 12 seconds.
In 2013, it was eight seconds.
FACT
No more time.
The number of minutes per day spent shopping
has not changed since the 1960’s.

“A great company…not only sustains itself, but it provides continuing evidence of the value of its existence. It not only makes a product or provides a service that people want, but it does so in a way that makes people glad that this particular company has come into existence, if only because of the great way that it plays its role.”
Great brand Purposes
To experience the emotion of competition, winning and crushing
competitors
To make people happy To liberate human creativity
Cultivate a better world
All represent each brand’s inspirational reason for being, explaining why they exist and the impact they want to
make in the world

EXAMPLE 1
Who is filling our customers’ shoes?
Who we are marketing to is changing
dramatically.
WHAT’S INTERESTING HERE?
Data shows that 2/3 of over 55s tune out media that
ignores them.
We often assumed that if we target younger people,
then older ones will find this aspirational – perhaps
nowadays we can’t be so sure….
WHY IT IS RELEVANT
In twenty years, New Zealand may well
have:
Double the amount of over 65s
One quarter Asian Auckland population
THE FACTS
• Beware your own preconceptions and
presumptions around your audience
• Don’t unwittingly exclude the groups that could be
most important to your future.
• Consider overtly including them. There’s room for
brands to walk into this space and own it.

How does the guy in those shoes
feel?
What it is to be a man today is not
as clear cut as it once was.
WHAT’S INTERESTING HERE?
There was a time when “men were men” and
masculinity was clearly defined. Today, what it
is to be a man is more nuanced, more complex,
perhaps even more contradictory than ever.

The Beckham Effect
MULTI DIMENSIONAL MEN
“Beckham was ahead of his time in his open-mindedness, breaking sports
taboos by posing for a gay magazine a decade ago and unabashedly exploring
his feminine side. It is almost as if he was on a one-man mission to obliterate the
one- dimensional caricature of masculinity that had taken root in the 1970s and
1980s”
Matthew Syed: The Times
The Tough Mudder Effect
MASOCHISTIC MEN
"Probably the Toughest Event on the Planet” - within 2 years of its first event, the
company turned over $70 million in annual revenue.
Just one example of the rise in extreme sports and the militarisation of
athleticism - running becomes a doing marathon; the triathlon morphs into the
Iron Man, workouts go military.
• Be careful of defining success as purely sports
success.
• For depth of admiration, seek spokesmen with
substance not just talent
• Appeal to the masochist inside by looking for the
next mass extreme participation sport.

Converse has captured the feet of
this fickle generation.
In part as the creators of entire
recording studios, given freely to
their audience and without overt
commercial intent.

WHAT’S INTERESTING HERE
The person in those customer shoes
is increasingly “me centric”.
And as a result, spectating is
morphing into participating.
Our younger generation now
“become annoyed or confused when
an ad is not about them”.
EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT MARKETING
IS ARE CHANGING

EXAMPLE
In the midst of our changing world,
the consumer is still fundamentally
human - scared, proud, hopeful.
