Usefulness: the online language of brand

Online, people expect to be doing something. Offline, they’re consuming – and that's more passive.

So if it’s not clear what someone can do immediately they reach your website or open an email, or if they feel prevented from doing what they want to do because information is badly organised, they get impatient and leave.

This can take as little as 2 seconds. And these 2 seconds tell us 2 things:

  1. Their opinion about your company or brand will be based on having an active experience and not the passive consumption of marketing.
  2. They won’t spend reading marketing messages anyway, because online people don’t spend time - they save it.

So online brand engagement is about functionality and traditional marketing persuasion has to give way to usefulness - contents that gives people the means to get something done.

CDA helps companies recognise how their brands can be expressed in these functional ways.
