Recently, a new brand I’m associated with conducted an attribution study that returned a puzzling result. It had asked its customers where they had heard of the brand (which was relatively new), and a good-sized chunk of the respondents said they saw it on YouTube. However, the brand had never advertised on YouTube, nor had its products been reviewed in any substantial numbers on the platform.

Developing brands from day zero
I often get asked what a brand is. We all know the typical answer: a set of attributes, design and other associations that identify a company’s goods and services as distinct from others.

As a result, companies with compelling employer branding are more likely to find individuals whose preferences match what the company offers from the outset, and thus are more likely to stick around as a result.
