173 Drury Lane

I’ve just launched a new blog – 173 Drury Lane a place to talk about Sainsbury’s – with my friends Freddie Daniells and Max Blumberg.

Over coffee a couple of weeks ago we found ourselves interested in the fate of Sainsbury’s. (A food retailer in the UK once pre-eminent, now troubled.) We realised we each felt a sentimental attachment to this brand (in my case, because I worked for Lord (Alan) Sainsbury for a year).

We thought it would be interesting to read a weblog about Sainsbury’s. So as the company hasn’t created any that we’ve seen, we’ve created one ourselves.

We named it 173 Drury Lane, after the address of the the very first Sainsbury’s, opened in 1869.

Here’s how we describe the purpose of the blog:

We created this website because we wanted to generate an online discussion about the future of Sainsbury

Passion branding

Passion brands bring people together based on common interests and excitements. I’m particularly interested in ones created from the bottom up, as opposed to driven by producers concerned mainly with profit.

The volatile chemistry of trust

Interesting research from Stanford suggests that exciting brands get more trusted after making mistakes and putting them right whilst more “sincere” brands start with more trust but lose it more easily. Perhaps the sensible interpretation is that second-guessing customers can be a waste of time!

Customer-centricity: is it the answer?

Michael Hammer’s new book, The Agenda, is about the rise of customer power. But is customer-centricity really such a good model for business and society?

What brand are you?

Thanks to Matt Tucker at Smith Associates for telling me about What Brand Are You. It strikes me that lots of companies waste money on

Just Undo It?

The AntiBrand: blackSpot sneakers, a project by Adbusters attacks Nike directly. In doing so they take on what has become one of the great icons

Putting humanity into branding

We live in a world of too much marketing and too much branding. People’s faith in advertising has fallen to new lows as we simply

New Abbey

So the Abbey National is rebranding itself this morning. As I write this entry, they are revealing their new look, their shortened name (just “Abbey”)

Ritual and grasping to grow

Coming-of-age rituals in tribal societies often use confusion to encourage initiates to find their own meaning, reflecting the struggles of adolescence. This approach contrasts with conventional training, which prioritizes efficiency. However, allowing space for bewilderment and struggle can foster deeper understanding, as meaningful growth often arises from navigating challenges.
