What is Brand Identity?

The concept of brand identity is becoming increasingly important in the modern world. It shapes how customers perceive a company, often influencing their decision to purchase a product or service. Brand identity is more than just a logo or a slogan. It encompasses all aspects of how customers interact with and view a business.

Even if you have a strong personal brand in the past, you have to refresh consistently. Stay on top of the trends, and your verbiage. As well as making sure that you are modernizing your brand and it’s not outdated.

Who Am I?

Brand identity is just like your personal identity. Your hair color, your face features, how you talk, your voice. Basically, it’s just like your personal identity. Your brand identity is what makes your business unique.

The first piece of this puzzle is to know WHO YOU ARE. It is important to have an understanding of what makes up the insides of a brand. A brand identity is all about creating visuals and messages that speak to the target audience and help create recognition. If you are not sure of all of the insides, however, how can you effectively create visuals for people to understand?

A good starting point for creating a successful brand identity is defining the purpose and values of your business or product. What is your mission? What is your why? Why did you start this business? Who are you helping? What are the values, Your beliefs that drive your company? What is your brand’s personality? If your brand was a person, what kind of personality would they have? Your unique positioning on things that will differentiate your company from others.

These key messaging points should be clear enough for someone unfamiliar with your company to understand with just one glance at your logo or branding materials.
