Meet My Boyfriend….Diet Coke! Discovering Our Secret Relationships With Brands
Taken from his upcoming book of the same title, Tim will discuss how we as consumers associate with the brands that we interact with on a daily basis. Some brands we have wild, short term flings with, while others are with us for a lifetime, clinging to us like a favorite pair of socks.  Life is a series of relationships - relationships with people, relationships with beliefs, and yes, even relationships with brands.   How should we as consumers view our relationships with brands? More importantly, how do marketers view their brand’s relationships with us? How should that relationship be defined? Does it have the intimacy of that of a spouse or is it more casual, like, say your local grocer? Tim will discuss the secrets to establishing and growing the brand and consumer relationship and give examples of the tools that marketers use to connect us to brands in ways that go beyond the physical experience of consuming or using the product.

  CHAPTER ONE
  Romance and the Brand
I had already been in the dark room for three-and-a-half hours, a bowl of peanut M&Ms in front of me, observing groups of women through a two way mirror that felt like something out of CSI, as they explained their beverage consumptions habits. Observing focus groups was a common practice for Coca-Cola brand managers. We were always striving to understand our consumers better so that we might find a way to connect with them. Our ultimate goal was to give folks like the women in this room a reason to purchase our brand rather than the hundreds of other options available to them.
