• Consistency- Nobody will ever remember or recognize your brand
unless you keep it the same every time someone is exposed to it.
31. IDENTIFY YOUR BRAND IN WORDS
• Think of your brand as a person. What would
your brand say?
• If your logo wasn’t with your content, could
your audience identify the content as coming
