Why Do Executives Work for Big Brands?

Posted by David Aaker on Wednesday, October 30, 2013 Under: Marketing Genius

A strong brand can add value in a way that has been ignored—by making the firm more attractive to executives so they will accept less salary. In an era in which salaries are mushrooming out of control, this is no trivial matter for recruitment and for shareholder interests. A recent paper by Nader Tavassoli (London Business School), Alina Sorescu (Texas A&M), and Rajesh Chandy (London Business School), “Employee-Based Brand Equity,” documents that assertion and explains why.

Executive attraction to a job is based in part on a drive for self-enhancement among a reference group. Associating with a strong brand provides connections that transfer to the executive, such as prestige and success. The implication is that the steward of a strong, successful brand will be a competent and gifted leader. An executive associated with a strong brand will also have visibility, and with visibility comes other positive traits. You remember who is running a leading brand.

The researchers not only conceptualize the argument that executive pay is affected by brand equity; they quantitatively showed it to be true. Using a database that included 12,400 executives of which 1,900 were CEOs, they statistically searched for the drivers of total pay as reported in ExecuComp. The causal variables included were brand strength based on the huge Y&R BAV database that measures the equities of brands along dozens of dimensions: whether the executive was a CEO, the executive’s age, firm performance, firm size, industry, and quality of the workplace. The findings were dramatic: brand equity has a significantly negative effect on executive pay and this effect was higher for CEOs and for younger executives.

The CEO effect was hypothesized to be caused by the fact that CEOs are more connected to the brand and feel more of an identity toward it. As a result, the brand would give them more self-enhancement than others. The younger executives trying to build a resume and gain knowledge and skills will likely believe that being in an organization with a strong brand will help him or her going forward.

The value of brand equity has been focused on its ability to create customer-driven value. But this research suggests that its value as a mechanism to make employees more motivated, satisfied, and rewarded can also be significant. It also implies that recruitment and salary negotiation should take into account the strength and success of the brands being managed.
