Brand Identity – Building Your Brand
Your brand must differentiate you from your competitors. Your brand must be memorable. Most importantly, your brand must deliver your brand promise and resonate with your target market.
A clever name, catchy tagline and lively logo aren’t enough. Strong markers like these are the bare minimum required to establish a brand. Your message must build upon that to define who you are and what you stand for. It must provide your consumers a way to connect with your values and principles, your personality and promise.
Accomplishing this requires outside-in thinking, concentrating first on the core values that define your brand, the key negative spaces that define what your brand is not, and your differentiation. Only then do we develop the visual markers that are evocative enough emotionally to create a strong connection with your consumers.
