Y&R Ireland (formerly Hunter/Red Cell) is owned by WPP plc and is part of the Young & Rubicam global network whose credo is “We energise business”.
Brands mean things- sometimes great things - to the people who buy them. People continue to pay a premium for brands that offer little more than their competitors. Why? They gravitate towards these brands because, despite having little different to offer, they seem to have a certain buzz or energy about them.
At Y&R we believe that a brand is a direction, not a place. Maintaining that direction requires energy. Energy represents the perception that a brand is moving in a particular direction; that it has a clear purpose in the world. Chief among the factors that can make energy move are Vision, Invention and Dynamism.
Vision is what the brand stands for; its sense of purpose and leadership qualities.
Invention is about the degree to which a brand keeps updating itself, through new product launches and improvements to its service.
Dynamism is the degree to which a brand keeps creating a persona or cultural buzz in the marketplace.
Energy is sparked by ideas. The Y&R process of sparking these ideas is called Ignition. The Ignition process involves Immersion, Interpretation, Invention and Implementation as part of a constant cycle designed to ignite the energy-driving idea.
