All that talk about brand perception got me thinking about how brands affect our daily lives. Have you ever thought about how many brands you use in a typical day? Well I did and created a visual representation of my Typical Friday in Brands. I have to admit that I was pretty surprised at how at how big this thing got once I started working on it. I am also surprised at how much this reveals about me …
(click on the picture to see a larger view)
But I think we should have some fun with this, so I encourage everyone who reads this post to create their OWN day in brands. It’s fun and who knows what we will be able to find out? So if you have your own blog, post it up and just link back to this post. If you do not have a blog, you can send me your Brand day and I will be happy to post it up.
To get this thing rolling, I am going to tag the following bloggers who are not tasked with creating their day in brands.
UPDATE #1:
This is now called a Brand Timeline Portrait, courtesy of Adbroad … the copywriter.
I have also forgotten to add a few things to my timeline such as – all those office supplies I use, toilet paper, my under-eye anti-wrinkle cream I use first thing in the morning.
UPDATE #2:
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the 1/2 condom. It is very simple …. after all the beer and weed, you are “in the moment” and things break or things don’t last. I thought it was funny at the time …
UPDATE #3:
Yes I forgot toilet paper and the Vaseline is body lotion.

So, Jane. You exist on 4 hrs. of sleep? No wonder you can be so prolific. AND you have an iphone (that u use while riding the (ha) rocket?) I am jealous. I think your brand-timeline portrait is a brilliant idea for profiling target consumers in a new biz presentation. What program did you use to get it so pretty and all? OK, now back to my bitten apple and naked mermaid with star on her head.
May 19, 2008 at 4:19 pm
What’s up with the half condom?
May 19, 2008 at 5:27 pm
ad broad, this is why you are a copywriter. “Brand timeline portrait” sounds much better then whatever I called this.
auntie christ, half condom = that situation in the bedroom that at times occurs .. hint. ha ha my attempt at humour.
May 19, 2008 at 11:47 pm
This is very clever. Was hoping you had a “Brand Timeline Portrait-o-meter” so that lazy bloggers like myself wouldn’t actually have to hunt down the logos ourselves.
I’ll work on it over the course of the week though- interesting project.
May 19, 2008 at 11:58 pm
don’t you use toilet paper?
May 20, 2008 at 2:59 am
this is brilliant – should be an assignment for student starting a portfolio school.
May 20, 2008 at 6:58 am
@ HighJive – don’t you know girls are made of “sugar and spice and everything nice” and that we don’t have bodily functions? LOL … yes I do use toilet paper … I just forgot about it.
May 20, 2008 at 7:33 am

Great concept, but not sufficient follow-through. As Chris points out, weed isn’t a brand name; philosophically, some would say it’s quite the opposite!

This is great :)

May 22, 2008 at 10:01 am
Would you use the same (amount of) products if they were unbranded? Or would your life be simplier/easier? Just curious.
May 22, 2008 at 10:07 am
@ chris & @ raincoster – well weed isn’t a brand name in the traditional sense. but you could say that the symbol of weed has become a brand, no?
@ Noah Brier – I was actually inspired by your brand tags to do this.
@deVon – to be truthful I didn’t know how many brands I actually used until I did this timeline, so it was quite a surprise to me to see how branded my life really is. I am not a brand snob, I use the brands I like because of quality or price. I do use no-name or store-brands as well.

@ Dani – it’s the LG!

Hi Jane… arrived via an email link from a friend. This is genius and I’m loving 10:18 where Apple appeared to have caused ‘Action’! I’ve been noting my brands so I can follow this up on my blog and will link back soon. (Oh.. and until now I forgot the toilet paper too!)

May 22, 2008 at 4:25 pm
First, are you single? Why the hell do you still use condoms? You know after like the 60’s we developed some pretty reliable birth control? Second, Marijuana is not a brand name; I don’t care who sells it, and I don’t care how reliable they are.
Third, you use waaaaaaay too much makeup; trying to overcompensate for something?

“but you could say that the symbol of weed has become a brand, no?”
No, it’s still just a symbol. To call it a ‘brand’ would not be using the standard definition of ‘brand’.
The word comes from cows, remember, where there are a million of something that are pretty much the same, so you need a way to distinguish yours. Dove is a brand: of all the soaps, they’ve distinguished theirs with a bird. Sony is a brand of TVs. Pepsi is a brand of sugar water. And so on.
Weed is not a brand, unless there are competing similar products which you distinguish by the weed symbol, or an economic producer attempting to distinguish their product by using this branding.
May 22, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Instead of weed, you could use Zig-Zags! http://www.zigzag.com/
May 22, 2008 at 7:17 pm
you’re probably on durex’s marketing department dead list now ;)
quite comforting you dont recognize some of the brands over there. imagine 1000 random people did this and only 30 brands came up. cringe.
i’d say certain producers in Mexico would consider weed a brand. competitor’s brand – if they had a logo for cocaine..
May 22, 2008 at 7:17 pm
okay okay I give in on the weed issue. But Jay just came up with a great alternative – zig zag’s! Thanks Jay
@ jbf – of course I’m a brand whore. I work in advertising.
@ don – I would argue that. what about all the gagets boys seem to like?
@ shaze – Yes the birth control pill is great, but it does not prevent STD’s. And yes I know, condom’s do not prevent all STD’s, but its the best protection we have against them. I won’t argue with you on the make up thing cause hey, I could be a fugly cow who uses lots of make up or I could be a hot bitch who uses lots of make up. Either way we won’t find out because this blog is anonymous and you won’t be seeing any pictures of me anytime soon. So let’s just leave at – I like makeup.
@anoy mouse – you have to turn that off yourself. it’s got nothing to do with me, it’s wordpress.

To the person who said don’t use condoms, please tell me which birth control is more reliable in:

2. Protects from disease.

June 5, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Jane, Brands are all around us I get it but this is very narrow perspective. Fun yes, but I think this model is not yet complete and lacks the kind of complexity to truly gain insight. You should keep trying to refine this concept with more interactivity, layers of data, etc.
Don’t you think this really is the exact opposite of Brand Tags and really contradicts the whole point. It’s about people, tasks and how customer shape experiences! It’s emerging trends like Crowsourcing that are defining brands, NOT logos. How I experience products and how I define brands is vastly more important. What people say about a brand’s product or service on a Blogs or SNSs matters and translates into brand perception. By reducing people’s daily tasks and experiences into logos gives a false impression. Plus gives companies zero actionable insight into why you use those products. What’s the motivation? How often do you use these products? Did you take the streetcar or the Subway on the TTC? Why did you choose Crest over Colgate? What’s the relationship between these brands and what value does the market give the brand.
I just think this paints people as Brand Whores and plays into company’s preconceived notion that they define us with their pristine brands. I think brands recognize now that Brand Monitoring and Product Research Blogs are some the most important tools of modern marketing.
Like Ricardo Guimaråes of Thymus Branding says: “Brands belong to the customers and the brand is what customers say it is!”
June 5, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Another thought may have been a bit harsh. This brand-time mashup may have value somewhere but it’s unexplainable. What if it was a brand-geo-mashup or Brand-timeline/tag-cloud. What other layers of information does this “Brand Timeline-Portrait” need to be useful? Jane, you’re on to something but not sure what? Totally fascinating how people want to say: “Hi this my personal Brand and these are my sub-bands that make-up my experience.

“I have also forgotten to add a few things to my timeline such as” … blogs?
It didn’t come to me until I’d worked my way through each blog joining in on the meme.
No one included blog logos, yet we all read blogs daily. Even hourly at times.
Mine was pared down even further as I stuck with mostly Friday night liquids.
Branding Before Breakfast. (a)Meme.

Thank you for sending me links to your brand timeline – they all get added!
@ Mark Magnusson – you make an excellent point. Part of my thinking behind the brand timeline was not to provide companies with insight into how I interact with brands. I wanted to use it as a communication piece with other people, and actually to leave it to them to find the insight behind each brand. If I did want to undertake this in a manner that would offer companies valuable insight … it would look and function a bit differently. Because you are right I would have to offer more information around each brand.
@ Neuraum – thank you for the links! Really fascination to see how the Russians do it!
@ Cat – oh wow … blogs, I didn’t even get into that. To list all the blogs I read would have resulted in brand timeline full of just blogs.

Hey, it is a very nice idea and I soon I have the time (that is in July when I am leaving my work) I will make my own list.
Now, I have to say that I am surprised that you were surprised at how revealing it is…. is an excelent excercise! When teaching advertising, I used to give something similar to my students, the difference was that the information was city and neighborhood plus things (brands & products) found in the trash. With that they had to “reconstruct” a possible psychographic profile.
After reading some of your posts I thought that another interesting thing would be to cross this info with the info from brand tags…. ;)
Anyway as soon as I have mine posted I will let you know, I’m sure it will be fun and very telling!

Since everybody’s posting their lives on Twitter wouldn’t it be nice to have a new site where you just post the brand logos instead of actually writing what you’re doing? This might also work as a widget for blogs to show the world what brands you’re up to right now.

This is the first time ive ever seen someone map out all the products they use. And it’s kind of sad that by the logo and the time, we can determine which product you are using. I think the only thing you are missing is your brand. I know at some point you use yourself in order to accomplish something, more in a figurative sense.

Weed does have it’s brands. Kush, Skunk, White Widow are examples of branded strains, names given to them to identify them. This defines brands well. If you used papers, what brand are the papers?

@ Oayk – the comments are half the fun, i have noticed that the more comments there are on a post, the stupider they are.
@ essteeyou – I just feel its mean to ignore the commentators on this post. I have to once in a while respond.
@ Cole – you can add this to the “toilet paper” list.

[...] Brand timeline portrait‘ (algo así como retrato de la cronología de la mente) es una nueva moda que nos llega del ámbito anglosajón que consiste en reflejar tu actividad diaria por medio de los logos de las marcas que utilizas. Despertador, alimentos, gadgets, ordenador, impresora, móvil, coche… y así hasta llegar, supongo, a bebidas, discoteca y condones. No le veo mayor gracia al asunto que la de ofrecer publicidad gratuita a aquellos que te estallan con precios, por lo general, muy por encima de su costo y adecuación al mercado. Así que conmigo no cuenten para esta faena. Si ya me provoca cierto repeluz andar citando marcas cuando la ocasión lo merece, imagínate hacerlo porque sí, día a día, paso a paso de mi vida. Eso sí, como hay gente para todo, no me extrañaría nada que el experimento acabara prosperando. [...]

So, you are all wondering what the half condom was for? It is not there for the reason Jane gives you.
It is placed there to GET YOU TO ASK. A trick usually found in Facebook status messages.
Why not post the day she did not use any weed or condoms? Or does she drink beer, smoke several joints and hanky-panky all night long?
Cool idea, weak performance.
