Featured Article
Brands for Humans Is a Movement with Purpose:
Throughout his 30-plus years in marketing, Dean Aragón has been as much a student of his trade as he is a practitioner. After a long run at Unilever, where he ended his tenure as a global brand VP for haircare in 2014, and in his current role as the CEO and vice chairman of Shell Brands International AG, Aragón has spent plenty of time pondering how some brands establish deep, lasting bonds with customers while other companies stay stuck in purely transactional relationships.

It's a complicated question, and one that often focuses on how to leverage insights gathered through data analytics in order to personalize marketing and advertising.

While smart use of data is crucial, Aragón believes that there is too much big data and not enough 'deep' data. "We look at customers through the lens of their involvement with our brands and products, like they are motorists or buyers of shampoo, 24/7," Aragón says. "We dehumanize people and pretend that we understand the entirety of their humanity through their connection with our brands, which is not true."

Instead, Aragón argues that brands that are able to forge valuable and enduring relationships with their customers are ones that can fully humanize their brand persona.

What humanizes a brand persona? For starters, it's engendering a brand with a personality, character traits, and, perhaps most important, a belief and values system that extends well beyond a company's financial self-interest. "Nothing is more human than purpose," Aragón says.
