Brand Strategy

Developing a brand strategy can be one of the biggest challenges facing a businesses but is a necessary step in the creation of the identity of a company. AbsoluteBrand can help in this vital process, leading to a consistent communication of the brand identity through various mediums.

AbsoluteBrand examines many aspects of a company while developing an effective brand strategy. There is an emotional context that needs to be built in connection with the company’s overall mission and beliefs. Examples of these are:

  • Brand Definition
  • Brand Mission
  • Brand Values
  • Brand Personality
  • Brand Promise

There is also the business context that needs to be developed and work cohesively within the company. Examples of these are:

  • Objectives/Goals
  • Target Audience
  • Competitive Landscape
  • Advertising/Marketing
  • Continuous Improvement

AbsoluteBrand uses this information to develop a brand strategy that consumers can positively relate to and eventually build an emotional loyalty to. This emotional attachment is the critical result of a successful branding strategy.

Building on the inherent values of a brand should be the core of any branding strategy. If they’re not clear, get a good grip on them first. Is the brand about honesty or integrity? Quality? How about excellent communication and customer satisfaction?

Knowledge of a company’s values, at least in a literal context, is typically an internal matter; yet, those values become evident to everyone in contact with the company, from customers and prospective customers to business-to-business relationships and employee relations. Consistency is the key here. If members of the organization aren’t accurately representing the values of the brand, steps must be taken to rectify the chink in the armor. And unlike a brand’s key business proposition, values should never change even though the landscape in which the company operates and even its products may.
