Editor's Notes
- We use to think building a brand was a task strictly left for graphic designers… But the truth is branding is for marketers and business owners… Branding takes place at every touch point and every time a customer interacts or even thinks about your brand… And, most importantly, branding is ultimately controlled by the customers, and not by you, the marketer.
- That’s right, after all the hard work you put into building out your perception of your brand, it’s the customer that chooses what that brand means to them, and not your business. Too many companies think they get to choose their brand… You only get to influence your customer’s opinion of your brand, not choose it!
- It’s a daily process of bringing multiple aspects of your voice and your business together, and then adjusting them to what the customer expects from you. So while these questions will get you one step closer to building your brand identity, they will not truly build your brand for you, that requires execution over the next few months and years. Think of these questions as a great foundation for building your brand over the next few months…

- Think about Kodak for a second. This is a company that created the first digital camera… But ultimately filed for bankruptcy after continuously missing the change to digital. And why did they fail at this? Because they thought they were in the business of making cameras and film, but they really should have been in the business of capturing and sharing moments. It all comes back to the value that they decided to provide their customer. They provided people with cameras and film so that they could take pictures. But people don’t want pictures. People want memories!!! Do you see the key difference in positioning your core value here? Make sure you are providing your customers with the core benefit, not the core feature – the camera in this case.
- Do you want people to have fun? Learn? Question their beliefs? How will you act? And your voice can be slightly different based on the medium you are interacting on.
- Your social media voice is one of the top things that will distinguish your brand from other companies. Your voice should be consistent across all mediums whether it’s commercials, social media ads, Tweets or Instagram posts. For instance, if you’re funny and humorous on Facebook but all of your YouTube videos are serious and straight-laced, it sends mixed messages. We can’t tell you what your social media voice should be since it represents your brand. But it should be reflective of how you want your brand to be perceived. That might mean one or more of the following:
