There’s this statue of a dog in a train station in Tokyo. This dog, an Akita, was owned by a Tokyo University professor who died when the dog was only eighteen months old. The dog, as the plaque reads, walked to the train station every day to await the return of his beloved master. He did this every single day until his own death ten years later. In only eighteen months, this owner earned a lifetime of devotion.
The point? This is the type of loyalty we need to build between our clients’ and their brands. This is where the experience, research and knowledge we have garnered about our clients and their audience, how they communicate, comes into play – so that when it comes to selling the consumer something – we can talk like they talk. Feel what they feel.
This is what facilitates trust.
This is what I do. I strive to create brand loyalty.
