The Science of Branding - Part 1
We cannot escape Branding – its everywhere . Because its so prevalent – the masses are brand conscious – they are discerning and selective. If a brand is going to get attention – it will need to have strength – and be well shaped for its target audience.
“Branding is the different ways an organisation communicates, differentiates and symbolises itself to its audiences. Branding is more that just creating a logo: it’s about creating a visual essence that when viewed creates, changes or reaffirms perceptions of a company, product, and/or service.”
Creating a strong brand requires real thought, real research, and real intelligence. “Branding is more that just creating a logo” this is true, but it is also more than just a ‘visual essence’. A strong brand will have a personality – with brand values that hold true to the intended market audience.
So the science of Branding is about making a brand ‘real’ – breathing life into it. The base ingredients for ‘life’ are ‘real thought, real research, and real intelligence’. To create a strong brand is a tough challenge – ideally you need to be a ‘brand-master’[1]. You then combine your base ingredients with the mystical element of design and good fortune – and hopefully you will give life to your brand. Simple.
Branding – The appliance of science.
