Why Define Your Brand? Part 6

By Defining your brand, you'll be able to be more organized in your thinking about your marketing and designs.

Instead of designing things on a piece-by-piece basis, you'll have your brand communication goals recorded and available for you - and for your designers, writers and other marketing team members - to consult. Or, if you're a very small business, you'll be able to consult this definition over time.

This way, even if you have multiple people creating your brand, they'll all be working from the same goals, and trying to communicate the same things. This, combined with creating a record of the words and images you use to communicate your brand definition (i.e., do you know what phrases you use throughout your materials? How about having copies of your logo and stock photos?), can help you to create a consistent and well organized marketing effort moving forward.

About elf Design


  • I help small businesses boil their brands down to who they are (their personalities), what they do (services they provide and how those are provided), what makes them different from their competition, and who they can best help. Then, I help them to create logos, websites and marketing materials that symbolically and psychologically communicate those first 3 factors - their personalities, what they do, and what makes them different - to the people who they can best help, to help them make a connection.
