Brand Confusion and Brand Dilution

Brand Confusion and Brand Dilution The branding contest is just about done. Its been so cool to get submissions and e-mails with your thoughts. Next week well have voting and announcement of the award ($900 + The Planet Earth DVD set, etc.). One thing Ive been thinking about for a while is a common theme Im hearing in your feedback. It all centers around this concept: The JibberJobber Brand vs. The Jason Alba Brand The purpose of this contest is to help people come to JibberJobber and say oh, I get this and I need it!! Or to help in interviews or networking situations so people can so oh my gosh, that solves one of my life problems Im signing up right when I get home! When I was in California a couple of weeks ago I would describe JibberJobber like this: JibberJobber is like a Salesforce.com for you, with an emphasis on career management. Job transitions and networking relationships, you manage it all with JibberJobber. Sounds kind of weird written out, but it rolled off the tongue when I described it to people on my trip. It would be cool to have something like that on my front page, but it still is not answering the What’s In It For Me? question. Going back to confusion and dilution a common theme I heard about since the beginning of the brand contest is Jason Alba is What if Jason Alba isnt around? What is JibberJobber then? It has to stand alone. This is bigger than Jason Alba. So no matter what Jason Alba is, dont let that sway you on what JibberJobber is. At the very least, dont let Jason Alba dilute the JibberJobber brand. Here are the previous posts for this contest: What is YOUR Mission (Statement)?
