In this slide deck, we explore the differences between Brand, Branding and Marketing.
A Brand is an idea created in the minds and hearts of consumers derived from the experience of all the touch-points that he or she has with a business. Branding, on the other hand, is a proactive commitment to creating clear brand promises, communicating them in the most efficient way and living up to them to customers every single day.
Branding is who you are, Marketing is what you do.
The essentials of Branding begins with answering key questions about yourself, and telling a story that is unique to you, and you alone. This then translates into marketing strategies which will carry your unique tone, ideals and personality.
In this current world where there is a multitude of voices shouting for attention, how do you stand out?
