SIMBRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE

 

At the Simbra General Meeting in September 2008 it was decided to develop a marketing strategy for the Simbra breed. This matter was referred to the Simbra Advisory Committee. The advisory committee, after a presentation by one of it’s members, decided to follow a consultative process involving all stakeholders to gather information to develop a Simbra breed brand prior to the development of a marketing strategy. Collectively we must uncover the Simbra breed’s true distinction that sets it apart from other breeds.

Brand development is the discovery of a breed’s unique distinction. The unique distinction is emulated through a set of unique selling propositions [USP]. A brand without substance and goodwill is worthless.

The brand development exercise is initiated by a formal discovery process through broad-based consultation to -

  1. Uncover the breed’s true distinction;

  2. Identify the unique selling propositions (USP’s)  that no other breed can lay claim to; and

  3. Is backed up by objective evidential analysis.

You are hereby invited to participate in the brand development process in three different ways:

  1. You can complete a questionnaire available here.

  2. You can send an e-mail to delft@telkomsa.net with your ideas

  3. You can participate by writing articles and responding to articles on our Simbra Forum that can be accessed here.

 

The following example illustrates what we are aiming for. Please note it is merely an example of our end goal and not necessarily the answer to our exercise.
