BRAND
THINKING OR THE BRANDING PROCESS
- A
brand becomes stronger when your narrow if focus because a powerful branding
program always starts by contracting the category, not expanding it.
- The
crucial ingredient in the success of any brand is its clam to authenticity.
- You
have to launch the brand as to create the perception that the brand was the
pioneer or the original.
- The
most efficient, most productive, most useful aspect of branding is creating
a new category. In other words, narrowing the focus inorder to develope something
new with a clear identity and message.
- The
name of the brand should stands alone, it should be simple, suggest the category
and be unique.
- A
brand's logotype is a visual represenation of the brand's core message.
- The
logotype should be easily recognizable, stand-alone, be simple and be unique.
- The
birth of a brand is achieved with publicity, not advertising. In other words,
it is the packaging of the message rather than advertisement of the product,
which sells the brand.
- You
have to promote the brand with consistency.
- Creative
is key.
