What is brand strategy?

Your brand values, vision, voice and visuals.

Before you jump into visual identity design (the visual manifestation of your brand), it is crucial to work out what your brand is about. What is your mission? Whom do you serve? What pain points do they have? What value are you offering to them that your competition does not?

By skipping over this step, you may be missing some fundamental keys to making your business succeed, and creating a deep emotional resonance with your customer.

You also miss out on creating a visual identity that is a very specific and targeted representation of what your brand is truly about. It is easy (and sometimes appropriate) to design a visual identity that is trendy, or classic and minimal, but by skipping the part of the process where you look carefully at your “why” you might miss a great opportunity to connect with your customers, create something that is memorable, enduring, and rooted in your brand ethos. By creating something specific to your mission and audience, you can more quickly gain traction in the market, create brand loyalty, and generate sales.
