Truth. Clarity. Action.® A powerful brand strategy is built on a Human Truth, with a clear understanding of what that means for your brand and a plan for implementing it productively.

🅰️ Aligned: Is this relevant to our customer’s needs and perceptions? 🅰️ Aspirational: Does this inspire our people and our customers to an inspired future?

𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁: 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 I absolutely loved Paul Bailey's presentation on his trademarked concept: '𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀'. In this, he argues that a brand is shaped through a series of moments which people remember and associate with one another. He also adds that "People won't go through any great effort to recognize your brand." This leads us to the greatest brand challenge...being noticed. Constantly noticed. His recommendation is that people need to associate EVERY single moment they experience your brand with their previous experiences of the brand. This means you've got to be consistent in creating moments that engage your audience. Moments they can experience. Then you can be remembered. Your job? Intentionally create moments that keep the brand alive!! Which brands do you think are great at constantly keeping you engaged? #brandbuildersummit #brandstrategy #branding #standtheflockout

What’s the secret to brand standout? 🤔 As usual, it isn’t one thing, I see it as a combination of factors coming together, including: ⭐Good services and products that meet real needs ⭐Attentive customer service ⭐Delivering value for the prices you charge ⭐Being consistent in your messaging and behaviour ⭐Being agile and adaptable to changing client wants and needs ⭐Having a distinctive brand identity that appeals ⭐Creating emotional connections with your target clients through shared values, heartfelt purpose and having a personality that is relatable Seth Godin says: “Being distinctive is a choice, and it’s not an easy one. Because it requires you to stand for something and to serve a specific audience, not everyone. Distinctive isn’t easy. But it’s worth it.” Yes, I agree.

Imagine your brand is a pebble you drop into a still pond. Even something as small as a pebble can create ripples that spread far and wide. Your brand is no different. The changes you want to make don’t have to be world shaking. Even small or incremental changes can make a big impact on your audience. So here are the FIVE brand strategy essentials to creating far-reaching ripples: 1. Define your purpose This is the pebble and the reason why your brand exists. As part of defining your brand purpose, you’ll need to know your core values. You’ll only need 3 to 5. 2. Create your vision What does this change look like and exactly how far and wide will the ripples spread? 3. Know your mission How do you achieve your vision? 4. What does your audience care about? Start with your offering and filter down through the needs to the wants of your audience. Here’s an example of how we help a brand that is lacking a direction: Offering – We build unified brands from the inside out Need – You want to improve brand but don’t know how Want – To grow your business and find out who you are as a brand 5.

"The best brands are built on great stories." In today's world, a brand is more than just a logo or a product—it's an experience, a narrative that connects deeply with its audience. Every successful brand has a story, a journey filled with passion, purpose, and authenticity. It's the story that differentiates them, creates emotional bonds, and makes customers feel like a part of something larger than just a transaction. When a brand tells a compelling story, it invites people to not just buy, but to believe. It humanizes the business, giving it a soul that resonates with values, dreams, and aspirations. Stories captivate, inspire, and leave a lasting impression—something a product alone can't achieve. So, as we build and grow brands, let’s remember: at the heart of every thriving brand is a great story, one that speaks to who we are and what we stand for. A story that connects, engages, and leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of those we serve. Because in the end, people don't just follow brands—they follow the stories behind them. #brand #brandbuilding #brandidentity #branding #businessinspiration #brandescalators
