In today’s digital landscape, having a brand is more necessary today than ever before. With more businesses and products taking over the internet—having a brand will lead to awareness, credibility, and help distinguish yourself from your competitors.

But, what is a brand anyway?

In the world of branding, we often hear different terms such as brand identity, brand positioning, brand messaging, and many more. Let’s start by defining what a brand is.

Your brand isn’t how you look or what you sell. It’s what people trust and believe you stand for. Your brand is a promise that conveys who you are, what you stand for, and what unique and meaningful benefits you deliver.

What does a brand do?

Brands inspire trust and create emotional attachments with people. People tend to purchase from companies they know and trust. Having a brand makes selling easier, elevates your offering, paves the way for awareness, preference, selection, and profitability.

What makes a brand successful?

Successful brands establish positive awareness of your promise before presenting your proposition. Without this positive brand awareness, you have to build a case for the value you deliver every single time.

Five fundamentals of a brand: Differentiation, relevance, esteem, knowledge, and CONSISTENCY.

Successful branding goes all the way to the core of who you are and what you stand for. When it does, it signifies, simplifies, clarifies, unifies, and magnifies what you are and do. And it adds considerable value as a result. A positive brand experience inspires customer loyalty.

Overall, your brand is more than your visual identity. It’s everything you stand for, and the promise you make to your target market.
