We just wrapped up a series of events around “𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰” with APAC Marketers. The perfect finale? A visit from Associate Professor Justin Cohen.

We were honoured to host Justin from the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute at the Kaliber office. This was an intimate sharing session with the team, diving deep into the evidence-based principles made famous by Professor Byron Sharp.

It was a massive value-add to be able to discuss and debate the specific application of these laws. Some of what we discussed include:

1. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 (𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐬): Deep diving what and how to define a mental or buying trigger
2. 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬: The importance of building mental pathways that eventually capture demand
3. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 (𝐃𝐁𝐀𝐬): How to utilize it as a mental shortcut in a cluttered feed
4. 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: The probability of a buyer thinking of or engaging with your brand

A massive thank you to Justin for his time and generosity. We are extremely proud to partner with and support the Institute’s initiatives in the region.

A24 didn’t just market Marty Supreme masterfully; they built lasting visual infrastructure using just a single colour. Here’s why it works:

When the campaign launched, that hyper-saturated orange wasn’t just a creative “vibe”. It was a calculated signal 🟠

And it isn’t unique to them too: Barbie owned Pink. Wicked owned the duality of Green + Pink. These decisions understand a fundamental law of marketing science that is often ignored: Distinctiveness > Differentiation.

Colour is often misunderstood as a tool: it has been used mainly to signal meaning. For example, if you’re a bank, you use 🔵 for trust. If you’re a brand with sustainability as a core anchor, you use 🟢.

But this is the colour psychology trap ⚠️

By trying to signal meaning, you inadvertently blend in. You look exactly like your competitors in your category who read the same article about colour theory.

Byron Sharp teaches us that the goal of a brand asset isn’t to make the consumer feel a certain way; the goal is to make the consumer notice you. The goal is to be distinctive.

Colour can then be seen as a data compression tool. It is a mental shortcut that tells the user “This is Marty Supreme” without having to read a single word of copy.

💬: “So, how do you operationalize this in performance marketing?”

❌: The trap many brands fall into is sacrificing identity for native trends. They change their visual style weekly to match the latest TikTok aesthetic. This effectively destroys the memory structures you paid to build.

✅: By hardcoding your colour into every distinctive brand asset, you ensure that even when you are testing new angles, you are compounding your brand equity. You are building a visual thread that connects every impression back to your brand.

We need to stop treating colour as a creative decision left up to subjective taste. In a Performance environment, colour is code. It is a fixed system constraint that enables speed, recognition, and scale.

A dollar spent on a generic ad buys a sale today but builds nothing for tomorrow. But with consistent practice, every dollar spent on a distinctive brand asset then reinforces the memory structure.

🚨 Ever wonder why your posts with links get crickets while others go viral?

Think about your own scrolling. When you see a post with a link, do you click or keep scrolling? Most people scroll past because they don't want to leave the app.

Posts with links lose up to 35% reach. Platforms punish you for sending users away.

💡 Smart move: Create valuable content that keeps people on the platform.
👉 Are you still playing by yesterday's rules or adapting to where attention actually lives?

Instagram posts are now showing up in Google’s index, and in some cases, even outranking articles in search results.

It makes sense - Google loves freshness and engagement. With ~95M IG posts going live every day vs ~2.3M web pages… that’s 40x more content fighting for attention 🤯

SEO today isn’t just “blogs + backlinks” anymore. It’s about showing up wherever Google decides to surface you - IG, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, you name it.

Tip: Don’t put all your eggs in one channel. Spread across platforms so your brand pops up wherever people are searching.

👉 So, what’s your plan to make socials part of your search strategy?
