Think Branding

New brands don’t just come from nowhere. They work hard to get the recognition they desire. They’re smart about appealing to their target demographics. Before a product or service launch, they take the time to think deeply about their brand identities: the colors, fonts, and other stylistic choices that make them who they are. In short, they engage in smart brand advertising. Smart brand advertising – Delivers a clear message ‘a brand identity’ – Establishes and confirms brand credibility – Connects with prospects intellectually and emotionally – Motivates prospects to take action – Inspires customer loyalty Brand Identity A brand identity is just what it sounds like: the character and personality of a brand. A brand identity is defined by the brand’s logo, web presence, product or service offerings, copy, and other visual elements that face the public. It is important that the company really thinks this through. Because these elements identify the brand, they should be strong and consistent. The brand identity can say a lot about the company as a whole. The logo, in particular, communicates volumes. The old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” applies here. Carefully matching the logo to the brand is the first step towards smart brand advertising. Brand Credibility Good brand advertising builds brand credibility. It inspires trust. Customers feel comfortable buying from a brand they trust. It also works to establish a brand as a leader in its industry so it can out - compete other brands. You can accomplish this in many ways, and a combination of approaches will probably be the most effective. Connecting With Prospects Brand advertising is about connecting and reaching out to potential customers to offer solutions they need. These solutions may make intellectual sense but they should make emotional sense too.

Design is not just aesthetics. It is much more than what we see.

Good design is not just what looks good. It also needs to perform, convert, astonish, and fulfil its purpose. It can be innovative or it might just get the job done.

1. Good design is innovative - it can both be a break-through product or service, and a redesign of an existing product or service. A break-through product adds a before unseen value and function to the market and the user, while a redesign improves an existing product. Innovative design always develops in tandem with innovative technology, and can never be an end in itself.

2. Good design is functional - useful design fills its intended function – and likely both a primary and secondary function. A useful design solves problems and through its design, it optimizes a given functionality.

3. Good design is aesthetic - an aesthetic product has an inherent power of being able to fascinate and immediately appeals to its user’s senses. Only well-executed objects can be beautiful. The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness because products used every day have an effect on people and their well-being.

4. A good design is intuitive - it explains itself and makes a user manual unnecessary. A design makes how to use, perceive, and understand a product obvious. A good design explains its function. It clarifies the product’s structure. Better still, it can make the product clearly express its function by making use of the user’s intuition. At best, it is self-explanatory.

5. A good design is a good business - assuming a product is designed to sell, a good design does well in the competition and stands out in a competitive market. Good business means a positive profit, why a good design sells well.

6. A good design is long-lasting - in a society of over-consumption, a good design has an important objective. It builds on sustainability in the sense that design and materials are durable and not just a trend. Waste and over-consumption is not a part of good design. It avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated. Unlike fashionable design, it lasts many years – even in today’s throwaway society #innovate
