Brandslation Process
•  Data synthesis
•  Defining the Service Personality

•  Assessing the Service Personality with the Customers
•  Assessment of resonance with customers
•  The Management Perspective of the Service Personality
•  Developing Design Principles
•  Final Retouches
•  Refinements
The Brand Experience Manual
•  The Service Personality is the core of the manual;
•  it defines “whom” the customer is interacting with and the
relationship between the brand and the customer
•  Design Principles are the “hows and whats” of the service
experience;
•  a set of guidelines that help the New Service Development team
and the “Tone of Voice”
•  Moments are examples;
•  how would the Customer Journey be if all the principles were
applied.
Remarks
•  To be effective, the manual must be used.
•  Erik Abbing suggested that maybe a set of tools for a workshop
would be a more effective way of communicating it.
•  Design Principles were much more a “what the brand
should do” than a “how”
•  Daniel Grönquist suggested a better organization of the elements,
the role of the tone-of-voice is much bigger than it’s space in the
manual suggests.
