The Rule Of No Rules: A Framework For Distinctiveness
Ahead of SocialDay’s Social Media Fest 2025, our immersive social media and influencer marketing festival, we’re excited to share a new report in collaboration with Marcus Foley, Co-Founder of Tommy; The Rule of No Rules: A Framework for Distinctiveness.
Consumer behaviour is endlessly evolving – and let’s be honest, the old rules don’t really apply anymore. In fact, no rules rule. In this age where disruption is the norm, how can brands navigate this reality and stay relevant, memorable, and truly distinctive?
In this new report, Marcus introduces The Distinctiveness Framework, a first-of-its-kind tool for measuring distinctiveness, using science as its foundation. Specifically, the framework is built on behavioural and cognitive neuroscience studies that investigated the impact of distinctiveness on memory using EEG technology. It’s true – science and social media really do go hand in hand.
This framework helps brands and agencies measure and build distinctiveness in today’s noisy landscape. It enables them to gain fresh insights, uncover any strategic and creative gaps in their marketing, and better understand the contextual complexities that could be undermining their efforts.
What is the power of distinctiveness? Can content always be rooted in variety and inventiveness? What can we learn from the most distinctive strategies? Marcus has the answers, the advice, and the actionable steps you can take.
We hope you’re curious to learn more, and that you can join Marcus’s session live at Social Media Fest 2025, where he will break down what today’s most distinctive brands are doing successfully, and the building blocks of distinctiveness you can adopt too.
Join us in London at SocialDay’s Social Media Fest, 20-22 May, at Phantom Peak, to hear from Marcus as he takes a deep dive into the full report and The Distinctiveness Framework. socialday.co.uk
