BRANDING DELIVERABLES – HOW IT LOOKS & HOW IT SOUNDS

Brand Messaging Platform

To keep your brand consistent online and in any marketing collateral, you need key messages that capture and communicate who you are and how you do what you do. Along with your features, benefits and unique selling proposition, these key messages make up your brand messaging platform.

Like any platform, this solid understanding of how to message your organization allows you to expand and build effective and accurate marketing.

Brand Guidelines

Every brand needs a Brand Guideline, an inspiring and educational guide for expressing your brand externally. This is the only way to keep your brand consistent in the market. Consistency is an important benefit of branding, especially if you hold any trademarks or copyrights.

Brand Guidelines come in the form of a PDF document that can range from 1-100 pages. They contain two elements; brand messaging and brand visuals. Pulled together, they hope to express your brand with clarity and a unique marketability.

Brand Guidelines include:

● Review of Mission Statement
● Features, Benefits, Value Proposition Messaging
● Logo refresh or reimagined
● Tagline
● Imagery and graphics for web and print
