About this ebook

Inspiration. Respect. Trust. Love.

Human values projected through an intangible (the brand as a symbolic entity) capable of providing a unique lived experience to each individual, thus, attaining a quality that transcends the primary function.

Oxytobrands presents a new vision of, emotional branding, the marketing of experiences, and the construction of brands. A vision that contemplates the totality of the factors involved in the creation of a solid brand platform. At the same time, it redefines the scope of the inspiring vision and the causes for the empathy that it reaches with each individual, guaranteeing permanence and future growth. In other words, solidifying a brand as a source of value. Oxytobrands proposes a way to create human brands for an emotional market.

    BIBLIOGRAPHY

    FOREWORD

    "When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

    ‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

    ‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all."

    Lewis Carrol

    In his lucid essay about the battle of Marathon, where General Miltiades, in command of the Greeks, in small numbers and without cavalry, defeated the Persian troops, Yves Zimmerman writes:

    Intention-Design-Strategy. The data provided up to this point on the different aspects of the battle present a picture that reveals, essentially, what Miltiades’ considerations were before the situation he was faced with at Marathon, considerations that make it possible to understand the intrinsic nature of strategic thought, in other words, the process that goes from the formulation of a problem to the conception of its solution.

    Think different, Apple has said. Marcelo Ghio, also, thinks differently.

    Marcelo was born with a pencil in one hand and a pen in the other. Later he went to the UBA and was received with stubbornness and a lukewarm smile by his teachers. One day, he invented the Encuentro Latinoamericano in the UP and did away with an old myth. He cites Alan Fletcher, If you can’t ride two horses at the same time, you can’t be in the circus.

    He is an innovator with a theory put to page in this Oxytobrands that presents its second edition, now in Lima from his actual home. Deacon at ISIL, he has the knack, as always, to administer, write, teach, and draw.

    Accompanied by Arda, he arrived in Peru as an ambassador of Argentine design.

    Point of view changes the perspective.

    Galvanizing innovation, particularly in Latin America, has not been easy in the last fifty years. The relation between design and the peripheral reality has found itself facing military coups, revolutions, social crises, and economics that have relativized professional practices.

    I met Max Bruinsma in the Congreso de Icograda Sao Paulo, Fronteiras 2004. Max lives and works in Amsterdam and has been, among other things, the editor of Eye magazine, surely, one of the most important design publications worldwide. There I heard him say that design acts, like in chemistry, as a catalyst.

    A catalyst is a chemical substance, simple or compound, that drastically modifies the speed of a reaction, intervening in it, but without necessarily forming a part of the results of the reaction. Catalysts are characterized by the arrangement of the two variable principles that define them: the active phase and selectivity. The activity and the selectivity, including the life of the catalyst, directly depend on the active phase utilized. Webster’s dictionary states: A substance that initiates or accelerates a chemical reaction. Something that causes an important event to occur.

    Finally, what is this about branding? Hasn’t everything already been said? What else is there? Marc Gobé says that without the brand, Apple would be dead. Absolutely dead. The brand is its most valuable possession. Its brand helps to maintain its life, while the products are less important.

    If we ask the designers and marketers what makes Mac users so loyal, all of them will have the same response: The Apple Brand.

    Naomi Klein is an iconoclast. She says that Apple and Benetton only sell brands that fascinate the multitudes with desires, dreams, and longings of success and prosperity.

    Clients do not buy cheap semiotics. They only buy solutions with their purchases.
