Building Brand Lore. Rethinking Fame for a Fragmented World.

Thursday 25 June, 14:30–15:00

Duration: 30 mins
Location: The Forum, Rotonde

Description:

In a fragmented, sales-driven world, brands are told to solve complexity with big, unifying campaigns. KFC Spain learned the opposite: fragmentation can be a strategic advantage.

Join this session to discover how, with a fraction of category budgets and heavy daily sales pressure, the brand shifted from limited “brand campaign” moments to building brand lore: “lots of little” culturally amplified, creatively ambitious tactical activations connected by the brand’s strategy.

Attendees will find out how to create a world of stories, icons and rituals that can strengthen consideration, drive sales and build a cult-like following. See the examples and the model that turned tactics into lore and fragmentation into effectiveness.

Questions this session will answer:

  • Can you turn fragmentation into a brand building tool?
  • How can tactical sales-driven briefs contribute to long term objectives?
  • How do you stay consistent in a “lots of littles” model?
