In this episode of Builders Wanted, we sit down with Cole Moir, Vice President of Brand and Digital Marketing at TCL North America, to explore what it takes to create a standout brand in a crowded market. Tune in to hear about the methods behind creating high-impact, emotionally resonant brand experiences and the future role of AI and personalization in marketing.

-------------------

Key Takeaways:

  • A focus on creating memorable and emotional moments for audiences builds a more meaningful connection with consumers and aligns with the brand's identity and values.
  • Brands that leverage cultural moments to enhance their relevance and impact connect with audiences on a shared emotional and cultural ground.
  • Clarity in messaging often wins over cleverness, especially in crowded markets, and leads to stronger trust and engagement among consumers.

-------------------

“ The key is to design brand experiences that respect attention, not demand it. In a world of infinite content, brands that break through are the ones that earn the moment by being useful or entertaining or emotionally resonant. We don't chase eyeballs, we chase impact.” – Cole Moir
