Martin Lindstrom has coined various terms and phrases in his publications. "Sensory Branding" is his term for leveraging the senses when building brands. “Smash Your Brand” a term referring back to the original design brief for the Coca Cola bottle which was intended to be so smart that if broken down to thousands of pieces of glass it would still be recognizable. Lindstrom’s metaphor refers back to companies becoming independent of logos and instead owning multiple “Smashable” components such as sound, colours, shapes and smells and “Contextual Branding” — a term referring back to advertisers sending the right message at the right time to the right audience via cell phones. In 2008 Lindstrom focused on the psychology behind what he calls “our buyology” — a term referring back to how consumers are hardwired to buy brands.
