Your brand identity directly relates to your ROI; basically, solid branding produces profits! At ipseity, LLC, we consider authenticity a critical element of success. Authenticity indicates a perceived alignment of a brand’s imagery, voice and actions. An authentic brand inspires trust and loyalty, ie: increasing profits. We also value creativity, taking risks and teaching; but we will get into brand archetypes a little further down.
Try considering a brand like a person, with a distinct personality and reputation that influences feelings. The brand voice, or personality, builds the customer experience by connecting with the desired audience. The brand image, or perception & reputation, is conveyed through the brand identity or visual features such as logo, color, font, photo content and style. Because people are primarily visual, a memorable logo and consistent graphics impacts recognition. Branding is often used to distinguish from competitors or align with similar brands. Your initial branding helps focus your brand identity and brand voice as you build your business, facilitating consistency and promoting authentic brand image.
