Your brand is your most valuable asset. A strong brand helps you stand out from the competition and makes you more recognizable to the consumer. To build a powerful brand, you need ... ding ding ding, you guessed it, a brand strategy!

So, what is a brand strategy? 

It is an intricate plan that helps achieve your goals, and in time, builds a successful business. A cohesive brand strategy defines who you are to yourself, your employees, and your customers. It clarifies your company’s vision and keeps you on track towards your mission. 

Think of your brand strategy as a powerful decluttering tool. It helps you reset when business is fluctuating and evolving. In addition, it serves as a benchmark, a way to track your progress and see how far you’ve come.

3 Steps to Develop a Stronger Brand
‍

1. Lay the Foundation: Define your Purpose, Vision, Mission & Values

Take a look at what you already have. Does it all align and connect with the overall goal of the company? Clearly defining these statements will help your team understand what you are trying to achieve. ‍

2. Develop your Distinguishable Traits: Brand language, Tagline & Value Proposition

Think about the essence of the brand, its personality, voice, and tone. How does it communicate to the consumer, and how do they feel about your brand? Do you have a clear value proposition that expresses a strong benefit to your customer? It’s essential to think about how people perceive your brand and whether they can trust your offering.‍

3. Create a Visual Dialogue

Observe your visual identity: logo, typography, colors, and imagery. Is it consistent? Is it iconic? Does it convey the brand experience, the vibe you are going for? Does it attract the customers you’re targeting? A strong visual dialogue will help simplify your marketing and sales processes.

**While focusing on each step, remember to think about the other parts that you have identified. Brand strategy is similar to everything in nature; it works together and is all connected.
