Our Managing Director Tony Lewis has been working in the marketing industry for almost 40 years. His outstanding work has been recognised not only by his peers but also by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) who recently got in touch to award him the prestigious Fellowship.

Membership to CIM can have different levels depending on your experience and levels of study, from affiliates for those studying a qualification to associate, member and fellow. CIM awarding you with a Fellow is the highest accolade that the Institute can award a person. It has come off the back of Tony’s valuable contributions within his clientside experience, including First Choice, Arcadia Group, Royal Sun Alliance, Allied Lyons, Marks & Spencer and his over 20 years experience at Vision One.

We asked a few a couple of fellow marketing experts for their thoughts.

I think the main recommendation I would give about Tony is that he is a strong creative thinker who is constantly innovating. He can structure his projects to get the most out of respondents and clients and then adds an additional layer of his own thinking and wisdom that helps clients to feel that they have not only solved the problem but that they now have a much richer understanding of how their brand can move forward

I have always found Tony to be someone who has a strong drive to be innovative in his approach to solving business problems. Over the years, he has frequently produced new techniques and ways to over-come research and insight problems e.g. BrandVision. In a business sector that is always improving its methods and technologies I think this has been a major contributor to Vision One’s success

Tony is thoroughly delighted with the accolade, saying:

“I’ve been a big fan of the CIM over the years and the qualities they instil in young marketers. I would like to extend a big thank you to the CIM for their recognition”.

We would welcome you to get in touch with Tony through our social channels and his personal LinkedIn to congratulate Tony on his outstanding achievement, and here’s to many more!

Rethinking Brands as Energy By Tony Lewis, Founder of Vision One Research For years, marketers have been taught to think of brands as fixed systems, defined by positioning statements, values, and visual identity. But through his work at Vision One Research and in Brand Momentum, Tony Lewis challenges this convention. His central idea is simple but transformative: Brands are not static objects. They are energy. From Brand Assets to Brand Energy Traditional branding focuses on what a brand is… its purpose, its values, its positioning. But Tony Lewis argues that this misses something critical: What matters is not just what a brand stands for — but how much momentum it has. In this model, brands behave like moving systems: This is what Brand Momentum defines as brand momentum: the energy that drives growth. The Battery Model of Brands A key idea in Brand Momentum is that brands function like batteries. Every interaction either: This is where the work of Vision One Research becomes critical, measuring not just awareness or perception, but the direction and intensity of brand movement. Why Entertainment is Central to Brand Momentum One of the most powerful implications of this thinking is that it reframes the effectiveness of advertising. Traditional positioning models struggle to explain why humour, entertainment, and quirkiness work so well. But in the Brand Momentum…
