Explore the key elements that help a brand look consistent, sound clear and stand apart.
Start by writing down the problem your brand solves, who it serves and what you want customers to remember. Use specific language that a customer would use when describing the problem to a colleague.
Create a compact identity system. Agree on a logo, color palette, typography and a short set of examples that show how they work together. Add a few writing samples so the brand sounds consistent across your website, proposals and social posts.
Review three real touchpoints before you roll out a refresh. Check whether each one makes the offer easy to understand, reinforces the same promise and gives readers a clear next step.
