Episode Description

How can a company drive growth and become a differentiator through brand positioning? Exceptional branding has the power to impact top-line KPIs,  increasing revenue and customer engagement across both traditional and digital media.

This week we spoke to Alvin Chow, VP of Global Brand Marketing at Hanesbrands Inc., about all things brand. Before his current role, Alvin worked for powerhouse brands such as Coke, Nike, and McDonald’s. Fun fact: you can thank him for the existence of indulgences like the McFlurry and McGriddle.

To Alvin, an exceptional brand creates a rockstar proposition, consistent global experience, and an emotional connection with consumers. Billie and Alvin discuss how brands can shift from transactional to emotional relationships, as well as the challenges of balancing acquisition and retention efforts and measuring awareness-level KPIs through traditional media.
