Branding & Identity

Establish a look and feel for your brand that represents your values, your business, and what you have to offer.

A consistent brand message is key to your business

What is your brand identity? Do you know? If you’re not sure what the definition of your brand is, your customers aren’t either. A clear, consistent brand identity sets your business apart — and is critical to longevity in the marketplace.

Brand recognition isn’t created overnight; it’s built through dedicated, purposeful action and consistent messaging. In other words, it’s built on a foundation of solid branding. Your target audience need to associate your brand with feelings of trust, reliability, and long-term success.

Five elements of your brand identity

Brand promise. What customers get when they buy from you, and the feelings they experience when they use your offerings. Every interaction must reflect your brand promise.
Brand position. Your brand’s unique value, and what sets you apart from the competition. Questions to answer: What does your organization do, why, and for who?
Brand personality. Like a person, consumers judge your brand by its unique characteristics and traits.
Brand story. Illustrates your history as a business, which defines you. Inviting customers into your confidence helps build relationships. It also highlights your products and services.
Brand associations. Brand associations are the tangible bits and pieces that make up your brand image. Your logo, colors and fonts, taglines, and design should all support your brand promise and position—and work together as one cohesive whole.
