Your brand is your personality.
But not only how you see you, it’s the version of you and your business as other people see you.?
There are many different versions of you that other people experience - the strong you, the funny you, the wise you, the elegant you.?
It’s important that other people’s experience of you and your business is consistent with the brand you wish to portray.?
Brands get into trouble when executives behave badly in the public eye or mistakes are made and customers complain, causing the brand image to become muddied or tarnished.?
How do we create a strong brand when there are many sides to us??
The key is to go deep into your identity.?
Tap deep into your identity to find values, mission, vision and your WHY to exist.?
This is what makes you and your brand uniquely different to other similar service providers in the market.?
When you are true to yourself, then you can be true to others and when you are authentic you can escape competition.?
You know you can commit to this for the long term and gather others around you with the same vision.?
Build your visual identity, your verbal identity and your customer experience on this deep architecture.?
With a consistent visual identity and a consistent message you can?build a strong brand.?
This way you don’t just look good; but you ARE deeply good in every way.
If you have a strong brand identity deeply rooted in your values, vision and mission?
And you have these consistently conveyed across all touchpoints of your customer and prospect journey.?
Then you know that if you have a bad day you simply need to get back to who you deeply are, align with your most authentic why, and keep going.?
