Why Your Brand Messaging Misses the Mark (and How to Fix It...)

How do you make your brand's voice cut through the clutter in a world overflowing with noise?

This question sparked a lively discussion during one of our Global Superstars masterminds, and today, I'm excited to share some powerful insights to help you elevate your brand messaging and make your brand unforgettable.

Step 1: Connect with Your 'Why'

At the core of every successful brand is a compelling 'why'.

It's not just any 'why', but the real reason behind your actions. Dean Graziosi's 7 Levels Deep exercise is a transformative method to uncover the 'why' behind everything we do, fuelling us as we work towards our goals.

Using this method you can uncover the core purpose of your brand too.

Step 2: Identify the Pain and Desired Outcome

Understanding your audience's pain points and desired outcomes is crucial.

To truly understand pain points, reflect on the initial conversations you have with clients or customers when they first reach out. What challenges are they facing? Are there any recurring patterns?

If your business is new and you haven't had customers yet, conduct interviews with individuals who fit your target audience profile.

For guidance on finding these individuals, what questions to ask, and how to analyse the results, consider reading Talking to Humans.

You likely started your business to solve a problem. To better understand your ideal customer's pain points, think back to how you felt when you first encountered that problem.

Once you're clear on the pain points and desired outcomes, position yourself as the bridge between them.

Imagine yourself as the dynamic sidekick in rom-coms, the one who drives the hero to the airport to catch their love interest, ensuring their happy ending.

Your brand is that sidekick, doing everything possible to get the hero (your customer) to their love interest (the desired outcome).

A brilliant example of this is Google's Parisian Love ad, where Google acts as the helpful sidekick, guiding the hero (the customer) to their desired outcome. Watch this touching ad here.

This approach makes your brand indispensable in the customer's life journey.

Step 3: Own the Result

Consider the main result of using your product or service.

What transformation do you offer?

Engage in candid conversations with your customers. Ask questions like, "What changes have you noticed since using our product/service?" or "What specific results have you achieved?"

Use these insights to make the transformation tangible and own it across all platforms and touchpoints.

Consistency in your brand messaging will reinforce your brand's identity and value.

Conclusion

To make your brand's voice truly stand out, embrace your 'why' as your secret weapon. By directly addressing your audience's needs and communicating impactful results creatively and consistently, your brand becomes seen as an essential partner in your customer's pursuit of a better life.

Use these simple principles to transform your brand messaging and make it unforgettable.
