3. Champion Cultural Relevance

Staying culturally relevant requires constant vigilance. Understand the trends, social issues, and movements that shape your target audience's world. By becoming a voice that speaks to their realities, your brand will establish itself as an integral part of their lives.

4. Dare to Disrupt

Don't be afraid to challenge the status quo. Great brands dare to disrupt industries and break new ground. By challenging conventions and embracing innovative approaches, you can create a strong brand narrative that captivates audiences.

5. Encourage Conversation

Engagement goes beyond just selling products or services. Encourage conversations with your audience through social media, forums, or interactive campaigns. By actively listening and responding, you can foster strong connections and increase brand loyalty.

6. Cultivate Creativity

Creativity is the lifeblood of brand bravery. Encourage your team to think outside the box and embrace unconventional ideas. Break free from the mundane and let your creativity shine through all your brand touchpoints.

7. Promote Social Responsibility

Consumers are increasingly conscious about the social impact of the brands they support. By aligning your brand with a social cause or by adopting sustainable practices, you demonstrate your commitment to making a positive difference in the world.

8. Establish Emotional Connections

People remember how you made them feel more than anything else. Seek to establish emotional connections with your audience by crafting compelling stories, evoking strong emotions, and appealing to their aspirations and values.

9. Personalize Experiences

In a sea of mass marketing, personalization can be a game-changer. Tailor your brand experiences to individual preferences and needs. Leverage data-driven insights to deliver personalized content, offers, and recommendations that make your customers feel special.

10. Continuously Innovate

Finally, brand bravery requires a commitment to continuous innovation. Stay ahead of the curve by experimenting with new technologies, embracing emerging trends, and challenging your brand to evolve along with your ever-changing audience.

The Contagious Commandments offer a roadmap for brands seeking to unleash their full potential. By embracing brand bravery, you can captivate your audience, establish strong connections, and set yourself apart in a crowded marketplace. So, dare to be different, be bold, and embark on a journey that will elevate your brand to new heights!

Contagion may alarm doctors but marketers thrive on it. Some concepts are so compelling you have to share them. But what makes an idea so infectious you can't keep it to yourself? And how can brands produce these kinds of ideas intentionally rather than by chance?

Contagious, the globally renowned intelligence resource for the marketing industry, is dedicated to identifying and interrogating the world's most exceptional creative trends. And in The Contagious Commandments, Paul Kemp-Robertson and Chris Barth condense this valuable research into ten strategic takeaways for your own marketing revolution.

Taking inspiration from disruptive campaigns from the likes of Patagonia, Nike, Safaricom, BrewDog, LEGO, Kenco, and dozens more, The Contagious Commandments explores how companies fuse creativity, technology and behavioural psychology to achieve truly original marketing ideas that have a positive impact on society and profits - and how your brand can too.
