This happens to me a lot when I ask a new client about their branding, they say yes they have it and send me a logo 🤦♀️ (iykyk).
I like to look at brand strategy like an iceberg, your brand comprises both visible and invisible elements.
Above the Waterline: The visible aspects of your brand are what the world sees— logo, brandmark, packaging, colours, images etc (if you have an amazing designer they will guide you on how to use it correctly). These elements are the tangible expressions that instantly communicate who you are, creating an immediate connection.
Beneath the Surface: Is the deliberate decisions and strategic thinking and crucial for long-term success and brand/business resilience. This includes your brand value, purpose and vision, your target audience, buyer personas, customer touchpoints, customer journey, brand personality, tone of voice, value proposition, selling proposition and marketing channels. It’s the deep work that shapes your brand’s essence, ensuring every visible element is purposeful and aligned with your long-term goals.
Investing in the invisible work is crucial for building a brand that not only stands out visually but also resonates deeply with your customers. It’s this strategic foundation that gives your brand its strength, guiding customers through their journey with clarity and focus.
If there is one area I recommend investing in, it's your strategic branding and visual branding. This will ensure business resilience and your brand will be seen and felt.
