Brand is not a logo.
It is not a corporate identity.
It is not a product or a service.
Brand is people’s gut feeling about a product, service or company. It is not what You say it is; it is what They say it is, what They feel it is.
At the end of the day, the degree of TRUST they feel towards your product or service, rather than an assessment of its features and benefits, will determine their final purchase decision.
TRUST creation is a fundamental goal of branding design. TRUST is the ultimate shortcut to a buying decision, and a cornerstone of modern branding.
What companies are trying to do nowadays is appoint brand managers. These build large brand departments staffed with brand strategists, who are armed with heavy brand research. What they are discovering, however, is that it takes more than strategy to build a brand.
It takes strategy and creativity together.
Brand strategy is a plan for systematic development of a brand in order to meet its business objectives. Developing a brand strategy can be one of the most difficult parts of the marketing plan process. It is an element that poses the biggest challenge, and requires very careful and skillful approach. There must be no gap between strategy and creativity, because the existence of such a gap can cause even the most brilliant strategy to fail.
A professional in this field has to have the passion and experience to be able to provide creative customized approaches that will set brands apart from their competition.
