Brand is made up of three elements.
We made too much content!
We have created three Branding Labs on each of the elements.
You can link to them through your whitepaper or there will be a link below the video leading you to a page with all the labs.
Use highlighter to circle first three and then circle 4th.
The Golden Circle is a tool to create a mission statement
We start with why and go to what:
Why - Purpose Statement
How - Unique Value Proposition
What - Features Vs Benefits
And then your mission statement will include all three.
We start with why you do what you do.
We have an exercise that will help you identify your three most important value words for your brand.
Then we provide you with a simple purpose statement.
Identifying these values will create an anchor for your brand.
Your UVP is all about your unique process.
Resonate: What do your clients want and need?
Differentiate: What makes you different from everyone else?
Substantiate: How can you backup your claims?
The new UVP proposition should be:
We believe that __________ (ideal clients) should be able to (meet their need/relieve their pain)
We help these clients by (process, technique)
We do this by providing (specific functions) which give (unique benefits)
Feature: Technical, dry, specific
Benefits: Emotional, need based, exciting
When we combine all three, why, how and what?
