Marc Paulenich is a CEO and brand strategist who has spent two decades helping leaders move audiences from indifference to advocacy — and wrote the book on it.
The Framework
The Brand Movement Model
Audiences move along a ramp — and most brands stall at the first step. The model maps the four moves from apathy to advocacy.
- 01
Apathy
The default state — the market simply doesn't care yet.
- 02
Awareness
They notice, and begin to understand what you stand for.
- 03
Alignment
They see themselves in it — belief takes hold.
- 04
Advocacy
They carry it forward and move others.
