Observation #3
What I've noticed
Brands are no longer just selling products but increasingly trying to create strong emotional connections to reach their target audience.
Why it is important
In today's digital advertising landscape, emotional bond has become a key form of brand differentiation as it has a long-lasting effect on customers, by touching their most sensible areas of psychology.
Example
Patagonia has built a solid emotional bond with its audience by showcasing strong values that resonate with consumers in the age of environmental awareness and demonstrated authenticity.
Its digital campaigns reflect Patagonia's focus on environment and enable customers to immediately get a sense of the company's values through emotions like responsability, purpose and even guilt ("Don't Buy This Jacket" campaign)
