1. Brand Identity

The visual, verbal, and emotional attributes that distinguish a brand from others. This includes elements such as name, word mark, logo mark, colour palette, typography and tone of voice.

2. Brand Equity

The value a brand adds to a product or service beyond its functional benefits. Brand Equity is about the more intangible aspects such as audience perception, emotional connection and market strength.

3. Brand Positioning

How a brand wants to be seen and remembered by customers compared to other brands. Brand Positioning is about finding a unique place in the customer’s mind, differentiating itself from the competition.

4. Brand Promise

The commitment a brand makes to its customers about what they can expect from its products or services.

FedEx: “When it Absolutely, Positively Has to Be There Overnight”

Volvo: “Safety”

IKEA: “Affordable Solutions for Better Living”

5. Brand Essence

A defining word or short-phrase which captures what the brand stands for. The heart and soul.

Disney: “Magic”

Apple: “Simplicity and Innovation”

Coca-Cola: “Happiness”

6. Brand Touchpoint

Any digital, physical and experiential interaction points where customers come into contact with a brand. A few examples of Brand Touchpoints are websites, social media channels, physical stores, customer service interactions, advertising (Print, Digital and OOH), virtual reality experiences and pop-up shops.

7. Brand Sync

The alignment and consistency of a brand’s messaging, visuals, and overall identity across all platforms and touch points.
