This document provides guidance on branding from Marco de Boer. It makes three key points: 1) Branding starts with understanding your own beliefs and values, not your product. People will follow a belief, not another interchangeable product. 2) Your belief can be expressed through many elements of your brand, including your logo, tone of voice, core values, descriptions, and ways of acting and working. 3) Your brand elements should all stem from and reflect your core belief - if things no longer match your belief, discard them and rebuild based on your guiding belief. The belief is what provides true power and followers for your brand.
