A brand is but a mascot of the services and products you put out. Now, the service you offer might already be existent and in accordance, similar to what you provide, so how do we stand out? How do we break into something that is already a phenomenon? Is the question one should be asking themselves as they jot down and formulate a plan?
Formulation must include everything from the conception of the service to the execution of the same. To be out there and stand out from the overpopulated frame, one must come up with a diverse and out of the box brand narrative. A narrative that shows and proves you brand vision and how well aware you are of the latest developments and the way you will go on about with the creation of the same but in a manner that’s new and effective and will provide tangible results in a scape that is intangible at basic.
Once you have this sorted out, we ought to focus on the audience we are catering to and understand their psyche, one of the ways to do this is to prepare a buyer’s persona zero in on the brand aesthetic you are going with, the personality and the innovation you bring to the table. Besides the buyer’s persona, one must also focus on the said traits and indulge in audience engagement with good social stimulation all the while narrowing down and executing the same.
Go ahead with the conception and the story, and build a brand identity that is as authentic as it is sustainable and consistent. Develop an in-house style guide and strive for consistency to the point where it becomes a compelling narrative that helps build a loyal audience, and tailor it in a way that connects with them on an emotional level.
Like mentioned, engagement is the key, the engagement tone must be compatible with your brand image and reflect the policies and salient features of your brand and its services. Another reason engagement is critical is that it helps you stay relevant and keeps you informed with what the audience seeks, and you are in the loop and can deliver to them accordingly.
One way to do this is through collaboration; you could team up with influencers or content creators who have a wider reach than you do. This way, you’ll gain access to the social consciousness of the internet. You must also evolve in timely measures, so that you remain relevant.
