Yet, if every piece of merchandise, building or other physical asset was sold, this wouldn\u2019t even equal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-10-21\/epic-s-p-500-rally-is-powered-by-assets-you-can-t-see-or-touch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\">20% of the value of what is being traded<\/a>. How can something which can\u2019t be weighed or shipped be worth so much?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intangience.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\">intangible values<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major corporations and brands are beginning to look beyond the obvious metrics of success to determine their worth. By identifying and developing the shared intangible values in their brand identities, they can develop techniques and strategies that can be described as &#8220;the science of human connection.&#8221; What emerges is a meaningful connection between the brand values and why the consumer chooses it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nike is an example of a billion dollar brand that has come to be defined by more than its core product. The brand has become aligned with the global movement of social consciousness and activism, a living embodiment of its tagline &#8220;Just Do It.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its Swoosh logo designed at a cost of just US $35 in 1971, is today valued at US $26 billion, once again reinforcing the idea of how much intangible values determine market worth through the meaning it holds with consumers. The intangible values that the brand represents to its customers and investors turns branded clothing into an opportunity to share this identity and what it stands for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diamond company De Beers through a campaign developed by Ayer&#8217;s Advertising in 1947 helped transform the most common gemstone in the world into a symbol of love. Diamond engagement rings are synonymous with cementing a relationship, imbued with a deep cultural context and emotional connection with consumers. This enduring tradition has survived the pandemic; diamond sales are spiking during this time of growth and recovery, as delayed proposals and marriages begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are all examples of how brands harnessed <em>intangible<\/em> values and the science of human connection to realize their tangible successes in the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leader of innovation agency Ross|ReThink, Ernie Ross, a seasoned brand strategist who has practiced this art of the intangible for over three decades, created a branding methodology called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intangience.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\">Intangience\u2122<\/a>, which teaches how to define meaning and purpose to a brand in a way that gives it value to consumers. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--large \"><img data-src=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4-100x56.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4-1247x701.jpg 1247w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4-826x465.jpg 826w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4-520x293.jpg 520w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG4-260x146.jpg 260w\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-image__image lazy\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>The name &#8216;Intangience&#8217; is a portmanteau of the words &#8216;intangible&#8217; and &#8216;science&#8217;. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intangience.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\">Intangience\u2122<\/a> stands for the combination of intangible values and the science of human connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intangience.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\">The Intangience\u2122<\/a> principle is based upon the idea that something only has value when it holds meaning to those who seek to possess it,&#8221; says Ross. &#8220;Given that a brand is essentially the expectation of that intangible value, the question becomes how do you shift perspective and redefine your offering beyond just its functionality, so that it is imbued with significant meaning and emotional connection?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tactics defined by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intangience.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\">Intangience\u2122<\/a> are designed to help everyone answer this question and connect with their audience on a deeper level than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#a23935\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading\"><h2 id=\"new-thinking-for-a-new-world\" class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__heading\">New thinking for a new world<\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__content\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intangience.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\">Intangience\u2122<\/a><strong> <\/strong>comprises three schools of thought, which work together to help create a compelling brand story, and how this story will influence human behavior. <\/p><p>1) Pillars of Purpose &#8211; The architecture which defines a brand truth and purpose<\/p><p>2) Currency of Conversation &#8211; How brand reputation and popularity are traded<\/p><p>3) Science of Human Connection: The principles behind creating meaningful, emotional customer engagement<\/p><p>The techniques developed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intangience.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\">Intangience\u2122<\/a> are used by major corporations from diverse industries, with a body of work which has won hundreds of international awards.
