How brands create desire

Some brands seem to have a special knack for creating desire.

They launch a product, and suddenly everyone is talking about it. It isn’t always the most expensive or the most innovative, but it still manages to capture people’s attention.

This isn’t usually down to luck. It’s usually the result of strategy.

Anticipation changes everything

One of the most powerful tools brands use is anticipation.

When you know something is coming out soon, your mind starts to imagine it even before you see it.

You wonder what it will be like, when it will be released, and if you’ll be able to get it.

That waiting period creates something very powerful: anticipation.

Fewer products, greater impact

For many years, brands operated by constantly launching large collections.

Today, many prefer to do the opposite: launch fewer products, but make each one more impactful.

This generates conversation, attention, and a sense of the moment.

When a product tells a story

The products that resonate most with people aren't usually the ones that simply exist—they're the ones with something behind them.

A story, an idea, an intention.

When a product is part of something bigger, it stops being just an object.

It begins to become something people want to be a part of.
