What is a brand strategy?

The visual aspects of your brand are perhaps the most obvious and most talked about, however they’re just a small part of what makes up your brand and a brand strategy. Every touchpoint across the customer journey from awareness through to conversion is an opportunity to create a memorable brand experience.

Clear, consistent messaging is just as important as your visual appearance. From ensuring that your tone of voice resonates with your target audience to carefully presenting your brand in the right way, these communication strategies must be consistent and strategic.

Why do I need a brand strategy?

By considering who you are and how you want to be perceived, you can better position your brand within the market and attract the right customers. Without a strategy, you risk wasting valuable funds and resources hoping your ideal customers stumble across your products and services. A robust brand strategy helps you to align your business practices with the needs and interests of your target market, while ensuring that you stand out in a crowded market. Approaching your audience strategically means that you’ll see increased brand awareness, customer loyalty and more sales—all of which leads to healthy profits for your business.

Another reason to work on a brand strategy is to make business decisions much easier! When you have a solid framework of how and why you’re doing what you’re doing, the personality, values, goals and little intricacies of your brand; it makes how you go to market, what you’ll say, and all of the business decisions much easier.

What should a brand strategy do?

A brand strategy clearly and concisely documents the fundamental thinking and essence of the brand we are building. It also addresses important business structure issues like brand architecture and marketing consideration such as market segmentation and messaging. The strategy informs how the brand will be designed and how the customer interactions should be executed.
