Where Does Your Brand Stand in Your Customers' Lives?
Not every brand needs to be a customer's favorite. But every brand should know where it stands — and what it would take to go deeper.
Building Brand Relationships is a research-grounded framework guide that draws on narrative psychology, consumer psychology, and interpersonal relationship theory to explain how customers form — and sustain — relationships with brands.
What's inside:
-
The eight psychological dimensions that determine the depth of any brand relationship
-
A spectrum of seven relationship types — from Familiar Stranger to Platonic Soulmate — with real-world examples
-
A self-assessment quiz that scores your brand's current relationship with customers and identifies where to focus
Whether you're trying to deepen loyalty, diagnose disengagement, or build a strategy around what customers actually feel — this is the place to start.
