  • The way we value things depends on how we perceive them. But can we actually change perception? Brand Strategist and Educator, Youri Sawerschel, showcases the art and science of branding and the central role it plays in creating perceived value. To illustrate his point, Youri transforms a random pen into a meaningful brand. Backed by powerful storytelling and brilliant visuals, Youri’s talk is a masterful display of the power of brands. Youri Sawerschel is the Founder and CEO of Creative Supply, a branding company present in Zurich and Paris. Youri has driven projects focused on creating, launching and managing brands in Europe, China and the Middle-East. He has worked with brands as diverse as Kempinski Hotels, UBS, EPFL, Cemex, digitalswitzerland and Mondelez. Youri is a lecturer at the EPFL in Lausanne, the ESSEC Business School in Paris, EHL (Lausanne/Singapore) and Geneva School of Business (HEG). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    A pen is a pen unless it is a Parker, the pen that successful people use. That is the power and magic of branding. If I am going to brand that pen, it will be named as GANDHI ", the "Pen of Revolution" with a tagline of "Rewriting History". Then, I am going to launch a brand marketing campaign that honors those leaders of non-violent and peaceful revolutions with the slogan of "Pen is mightier than sword." This pen will only be exclusive to those who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and create a positive change in the world. Therefore, it will be the most expensive pen in the world.

    Youri`s talk on branding is a game-changer, showing us how the right story can turn anything into gold. this is what Reputation House does it all too. They've got the magic touch for making brands shine online, just like Youri does with a pen.

    I don't know why, but when I imagine myself seating in the audience, I think I still ain't convinced to buy the pen.

      the goal is not to convince you to buy the pen , it was to explain branding.

    Not so sure why some people were hoping to be convinced to buy the pen at the end. This video is not at all trying to sell a pen. It is just showcasing a remarkable transformation of a random, basic product through branding, which the speaker also clearly discloses at the beginning. People seem to think "Branding = Sales/Marketing." But it is not.
    I personally very much enjoyed learning the basic elements of branding process and I think anyone who watches would understand it too as the speaker showcases it in such a simple way. After branded, you just can’t feel the same way about this pen any more, you see a much deeper context the pen is linked to..
    Needless to say you can't create a brand in 10 minutes obviously. It takes years to build a brand… Then it is the duty of marketing/sales to promote and sell..

    I bought a pen for my first real state transaction as an agent. I still have it and I only use it for signing real estate deals. It's part of the ritual.

    Ironically, for a pen what he claims are very true, but for many brands in reality, their products are merely superficial wrt to their branding. We used to live in a planet called earth, now we are just surviving in a huge market, where we have to sell to buy and buy to live and live to make and make to sell, just for the sake of it.

    don't sell a product, sell an idea.

      Don't just sell a product but sell dreams, ideals, and aspirations where people are longing to be part of something bigger than themselves.

  • @kingoffongpei

    Not much of a pitch as to why i should use YOUR pen versus ANY pen. Its easy to brand when you have the only product of its kind on the market. Branding is harder when its one of many.
    You telling me that it's THE pen for thinkers is one thing, which anyone will question and realize it's not true. That claim must be proven by my peers and people i look up to.
    Ironically, you appeal to my being a "thinker" by expecting me to abandon any critical thought.
    It's a fine attempt to summarize the thought behind branding, but not a good example of it actually being done well.

      What if its a pen that's aesthetically designed, with beautiful straight lines and colored with a gradient, then it will be differentiated from all others

    BEAUTIFUL, thanks so much. What about POLITICS and branding???
    TRUMPISM as a brand, but DEMOCRATS lack a brand, so TRUMPISM wins !!!
    I fear for DEMOCRACY and perhaps this wonderful talk can help to save the USA, etc!
