Nick Westergaard, Author and Chief Brand Strategist at Brand Driven Digital, joins the Social Pros Podcast to discuss all things branding and why it is so much more than a marketing term.
What Makes A Powerful Brand?
Branding is important. You likely won’t find anyone who will argue against that, but great branding goes so much deeper than simply creating a great logo.
Design work and aesthetic can certainly go a long way in gaining visual recognition for your business. However, to truly break through the noise and build an audience of loyal customers, your brand has to stand on multiple pillars that ultimately encompass every aspect of you, your product, how your customers interact with you, and their overall experience.
In the end, these are the elements that build a brand, and brands with true staying power have been built upon a consistent foundation that is recognized in every aspect of the customer journey.
In This Episode
- Why good branding will help you break through the noise
- Why your branding is more than design
- How to balance control over your brand vs how your audience defines it
- Why social media may be shifting from storytelling to direct selling
- Why branding should be bigger than just marketing
