Regardless of what industry you operate in competition is inevitable, a brand’s ability to communicate authentically is its best battle armor to win over customers. This goes beyond the superficial of just having your information displayed and following whatever the ‘trend’ is. When your design and marketing efforts can speak directly to your audience in a way that isn’t reminiscent of someone else, it builds an unbreakable connection, making your brand not only memorable but truly competition-proof. TIP: One way to make this happen is to understand who you are, what you stand for, and why you matter. Then tell the world!
Every element of your visual identity from—your logo, color palette, typography, style of photography, and the tone in which you communicate—needs to be aligned. Now this doesn’t mean that every form of communication has to be humorous if that is your identity but the essence has to be consistent. A unified approach reassures your audience, builds trust, and creates an experience that they can recognize instantly. Competitors will try to replicate your tactics but they can never replicate your authentic story, and that becomes your strongest asset.
Staying in the hearts and minds of your audience; is done by being YOURSELF. This won’t be found by looking on Google or looking at someone and saying I want to be them. Find a partner that is proficient in brand development and understands how to navigate a competitive industry to win.
