A Trusted Brand Can Still Be Forgettable. Here’s Why.

A trusted brand can still lose the customer when every competitor looks equally credible. In this StrategyCast solocast, Lori Jones explores why trust is essential to brand strategy, but belief is what ultimately drives preference, action, loyalty, and advocacy.

Lori breaks down the progression from credibility to confidence to trust to belief, and explains why each stage answers a different question in the customer’s decision-making process. Through examples from Costco, Volunteers of America Colorado, and Apple, she shows how brands can move beyond simply being reliable and give customers something meaningful and distinctive to believe.
