How We Build Strong Brands: 7 Critical Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Marketing may not be a science in its own right, but it draws on many scientific disciplines. That is why there are scientific, technical, and proven ways to build strong, successful brands. The habit of attributing something mysterious and miraculous to brand building \u2014 or to brand naming \u2014 is, as with all creative work, steadily fading. Yet because a human being sits at the heart of the work, it cannot be treated as a purely engineering problem. The pandemic, after all, showed us that people had been living under the illusion that they could master everything in the universe and in life. In reality, much of what is human is chaotic. If there is an order to it, discovering that order fully is either impossible or extremely difficult \u2014 and I say this despite my belief in, and experience with, subconscious research. The single most important function of all the mathematics we bring to bear is to reduce risk.<\/p>\n

So what path should you follow to build a strong, successful brand? Here are the seven core principles:<\/p>\n

1. Understanding customer needs<\/a> correctly:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The foundation of the brand-building process \u2014 the first priority \u2014 is being able to correctly analyze the needs of existing and potential customers. These needs are not always physical needs or category expectations. When building a brand name, you must take into account people’s emotional world, the truths lying in their subconscious, cultural values, rituals, and even mistaken beliefs. In a fiercely competitive market, the only way to stand apart from rivals is to reach far deeper insights than they do. According to Harvard’s Gerald Zaltman, we make more than 90% of our everyday decisions subconsciously. This means that asking people directly what they want \u2014 while not wrong \u2014 yields only mediocre, ordinary data that will never be enough to win strength and success.<\/p>\n

2. Treating marketing and innovation as core functions:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Peter Drucker said that a business has two fundamental functions that generate money: one is business development, the other is marketing. Whatever field a company operates in, it must keep these two functions front and center throughout the brand-building process. Innovation allows products and services to adapt to changing customer needs and market conditions \u2014 and even gives them the power to shape those conditions \u2014 while marketing brings the brand’s products and services to wide audiences, delivering growth and profitability.<\/p>\n

3. Setting an effective business strategy:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the two pillars that feed brand strategy is business strategy. Without a grounded business strategy, without a goal or a vision, expecting a brand concept created at a desk and looking good on paper to succeed is wishful thinking. A company can have very different brand personalities and business strategies. Some prioritize profitability; others prioritize keeping their stakeholders happy. In the automotive category, Ferrari’s strategy differs from Fiat’s. Ferrari limits production; Fiat expands capacity. Their brand strategies are built accordingly.<\/p>\n

4. Building on brand culture<\/a>:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alongside business strategy, the other element that feeds brand strategy is brand culture. Companies with a restrictive, status-quo culture cannot create liberating brands. In the same way, playful organizations cannot succeed with brands in categories that prioritize minimizing risk. If there is a gap between the desired culture and the current one, transforming the culture must come first. For brands yet to be built, the culture and values of the key founders are an important determinant.<\/p>\n

5. Boldly asserting the brand’s difference:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The intangible value we call a brand was born to set things apart from one another. That is precisely why a brand’s core function is to create differentiation and distinction. It is possible both to meet the category’s requirements and to chart your own course. Doing so requires an original brand strategy and brand identity.<\/p>\n

6. Keeping pace with change:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Agility. Business strategies now often have to change shortly after they are planned. Consumer expectations can shift quickly; a category can be disrupted by a competitor \u2014 or by a brand that had never been a competitor before \u2014 or by a Covid. By closely following changes in the market and the moves of competitors, you must respond when necessary. Otherwise you cannot give your business strategy the right direction, and as a result you cannot keep your brand current.<\/p>\n

7. Making brand assets effective and enduring:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You must create distinctive, powerful elements for your brand. These can be standard components such as a name and a logo, or original assets unique to you. To keep pace with changing conditions and to build lasting brand value, these elements need to remain constant for a good length of time.<\/p>\n

“That’s it. Your strong, successful brand is ready.” To be able to say that, let us add the final and most important piece of the puzzle: the qualified human talent to do and manage all of this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
