http://602communications.com/ A test: who manufactures Axe Body Spray, Ben & Jerry's and Dove Soap? Bet you don't know the answer. It's Unilever. For decades consumer products giants like P&G; and Unilever have shunned the spotlight, letting individual brand names be the face of their marketing. But now they're changing that branding strategy. In this three-minute emotional marketing lesson video, emotional marketing speaker Graeme Newell reveals a new marketing trend. Learn why big corporate brands are suddenly re-emerging from the shadows. Nearly every day you see P&G; advertising at work in the form of P&G; commercials. That being said, it's not always P&G; itself that you are seeing, but often times one of the multitude of brands. P&G; marketing strategy has always kept the brand in the shadows, but due to new marketing trends, P&G; commercials have come from out of the shadows and into the spotlight. P&G; Marketing Strategy Until Now P&G; marketing strategy until now has always been to stay in the shadows, as per the marketing trends of the time. P&G; advertising is almost everywhere, representing brands such as Gillette, Crest, Duracell, and Charmin. These brands all follow current marketing trends in their presentation and content, but while they are technically P&G; commercials, the relationship isn't actually shown prominently -- or it wasn't until now. Unilever Marketing Unilever marketing is similar to P&G; marketing strategy in that it has, up until now, not really featured itself in ads for its myriad of brands to its name. This marketing trend is a throwback to a time where groups like Unilever marketing and P&G; advertising could get away with not bringing their brand to the forefront for their customers to see and identify with. While Unilever marketing is a mammoth that follows all the newest marketing trends, it does it all through its satellite brands. Marketing Trends that are Redefining Brands P&G; marketing strategy has evolved recently from hiding in the shadow of its various brands to coming out and making P&G; commercials that actually focus on the P&G; brand itself, not the brands that fall under its control. P&G; advertising has done a great job of following recent marketing trends by defining itself as a company of morals and values, something that customers can get behind. How P&G; Advertising is Redefining Itself Groups like P&G; advertising and Unilever marketing are following marketing trends and creating a brand that customers can relate to. In the past, Unilever marketing strategy and P&G; marketing strategy would have been fine if they just kept to the shadows, and they did just that. The new marketing trend, however, is driven by the customer and revolves around, you guessed it, the customer. P&G; commercials are focused around an emotion that customers want to feel about themselves, and that feeling is goodness. P&G; advertising shows mothers, heroes, and the like. These commercials fall right into line with what P&G; marketing strategy has become -- making P&G; advertising that actually speaks to the customer. P&G; Commercials P&G; commercials have been received well, especially the ones that aired during the Olympics. This was right in the P&G; marketing strategy of revealing the brand to be one of good feelings and uplift. Unilever marketing did similar things with its marketing in revealing a feel-good brand all around.
