     Reputation
A Brand is collectively what people say, feel, and
 think about your product, service, or company
“Brands are built
 on what people
are saying about
  you, not what
  you’re saying
 about yourself”
         - Guy Kowasaki
Why Does Branding Matter?
1. We have too many choices and little time

2. Our choices are extremely similar

3. We buy from brands we know and trust
Buyers are influenced by image

IMAGE is the public’s perception of the business
    as learned through advertising, word of
           mouth, interaction with the
              product/service, etc.


  Image, or reputation, is what often
  separates a brand and its competitors
vs
vs
Building a Strong Brand
1. Quality
  Your products must be reliable and exceed expectations

2. Differentiation
  You need to stand out from the competition

3. Consistency
  Consistent excellence breeds brand loyalty

- These need to be present in everything you do -
“A brand is more than a
  name or a logo – it is a
  promise and a contract
    with every customer
     with whom you are
   dealing. And if people
    feel that the offering
does not live up to what
    they expect from the
  brand, they will decide
          to stop buying”
              – Richard Branson
Creating a Brand Promise

             What lasting benefit will you
               provide your customers?

What principles are you willing
to lose money to uphold?
      Committing to core principles allows
        you to focus on the quality of the
          product first, marketing second
Campaigning VS Committing
CAMPAIGNING
Changing your core brand message to
fit what you think people want to hear.


  Focuses on short term gains

People aren’t sure what to think of you.


        [This isn’t a brand]
COMMITTING
 Building on core principles that don’t change

  Marketing for long term company growth

      Creates brand loyalty
VISUAL IDENTITY
VISUAL IDENTITY

Name, logo, packaging, fonts, website, etc.

Presentation cannot be an afterthought

    Must be visually appealing,
recognizable, and used consistently
VISUAL IDENTITY


  “People attribute personality
    to products based on their
appearance and how they interact”
                   – Reeves and Nass
Strong Visual Identity builds your brand recognition
Be distinctive
and match your
   branding

If you can’t tell whose
talking when the logo
   is covered, it is not
   distinctive enough
COMMUNICATING YOUR MESSAGE
COMMUNICATING YOUR MESSAGE

The medium is NOT the message.
  The message is the message.

  If you know how to tell your message
 in a compelling, effective way, it doesn’t
         matter what the medium is
COMMUNICATING YOUR MESSAGE


Know Your Business
   Who are you?
   What do you do?
   Why does it matter?
COMMUNICATING YOUR MESSAGE


 “Our ___________ is the only
 __________ that ___________.”


If you don’t have compelling information to fill
in the blanks, you need to focus your message
COMMUNICATING YOUR MESSAGE

Clearly define your brand or someone
                 else will do it for you
                    [like your competition]
COMMUNICATING YOUR MESSAGE


Know Your Customer
   Who are they?
   What do they care about?
   Why do they use your stuff?
Your customer
                 is NOT
             “everybody”
