The Core of Branding
In this episode, we dive into the essence of branding, explaining how it goes far beyond logos and colors. A brand encompasses everything a company does and is often a company's most valuable intangible asset.
We break down the three primary functions of a brand:
Navigation – Helping consumers choose amidst countless options (think Coca-Cola). Reassurance – Communicating quality and building trust. Engagement – Inspiring customer connection through imagery, language, and actions.
We also discuss the importance of a cohesive brand strategy, which unifies identity, actions, and communications. A smart strategy prioritizes customer needs, understands the competition, and resonates with stakeholders.Finally, we explore brand touchpoints, from websites and uniforms to email marketing and podcasts, as the key elements that reflect your brand identity.
