What is a brand?AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
![Page 3: PROJECT: BRAND IDENTITY](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/6261fff7821eed6468046dc6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A brand is a reputation, driven by a collection of perceptions, emotions and experiences. It’s an honest moment and gut feeling in the mind of the
consumer about your organization, product or service.
DEFINITION
![Page 4: PROJECT: BRAND IDENTITY](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/6261fff7821eed6468046dc6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Too often there is a disconnect between brand owners and their consumers—between the truth of how a brand
is known and the message they promote. In today’s information age, people are notoriously skeptical (and
rightfully so) of brands and require proof over promises. It becomes about demonstration over declaration.
Authenticity over announcement.
BRAND OWNERS + THEIR CONSUMERS
![Page 5: PROJECT: BRAND IDENTITY](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/6261fff7821eed6468046dc6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
To rise above shallow tactics, you need to
unleash the power of an authentic and true
brand identity. A compelling story the entire
organization can deliver on and draw
customers in.
Achieving an attractive reputation isn’t easy.
A brand must be rigorously disciplined and
thoughtful in designing every touchpoint,
communication and experience along
the way.
The first step in that journey is understand-
ing the current reality of your reputation
inside and outside of your walls. With that
knowledge in hand, the second step is then
dreaming and defining what it could be.
The answer is depth.
Layers. Substance.

Four Questions(TO DEFINE YOUR BRAND IDENTITY)
![Page 7: PROJECT: BRAND IDENTITY](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/6261fff7821eed6468046dc6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1.what is our core conviction?Deep passion that drives all stakeholders forward around a common purpose beyond just profitability. This heartfelt fuel should be a key element in elevating our brand story.
![Page 8: PROJECT: BRAND IDENTITY](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/6261fff7821eed6468046dc6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2.who is our audience and how do we truly add value?
Beyond features and widgets, a brand’s identity needs to resonate on a deep emotional level with its audience. Understanding and connecting with your customer is key to driving loyalty and affinity.
![Page 9: PROJECT: BRAND IDENTITY](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/6261fff7821eed6468046dc6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3.what is our key difference?Sometimes it’s not about being better, it’s about being different. Carving out a defendable and distinct position and personality is the bedrock of a strong brand identity.
![Page 10: PROJECT: BRAND IDENTITY](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/6261fff7821eed6468046dc6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
4. how do we prove it?A commitment is required to ensure all brand interactions deliver on the vision and, ultimately, the customer feels the difference. If branding stops short with just a logo, then most efforts are simply vanity.

Brands that clearly answer and express these four questions develop depth—a substance that moves
beyond a single product or message and lives in the hearts and minds of the consumer.

Target Audience(WHO WE TALKIN’ TO?)
![Page 19: PROJECT: BRAND IDENTITY](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/6261fff7821eed6468046dc6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When it comes to advertising your business, it’s imperative
that you know who your “target audience” is, and how to
reach them. While it’s important to reach as many people
as possible, and it often seems like focusing only on certain
segments of the population is limiting, you need to be
“direct.” Directly reaching those interested in your product
or service will ultimately put more money in your pocket.
Therefore, before you decide what your message is, and how
to deliver it, you need to understand your target audience.

Although with apparel and sports the market can be broad, for the most part, Nike primarily targets consumers who are between the ages of 15-40. The company caters to both men and women athletes equally, and is placing an increasing focus on tweens and teens to build long-term brand loyalty.
The target customers of H&M belong to the group of fashionable and trendy consumers who see shopping as a social activity provide pleasurein their daily life, who wants to follow the trends without investing a lot of money.
With its core target group of middle-class women between the ages of 16 and 34, Macy’s quality products at reasonable prices attract a clientele of largely busy people – either engaged at work or out enjoying the social scenes with friends.
