Got 4 minutes?
Then I’ve got 4 questions for you. Questions that every world-class brand knows their answers to.
What am I talking about?
Brand strategy, of course. Because all any business needs to do to create a brand strategy is to answer these four questions.
WHY - you exist
WHO - you are
HOW - you do things, and how you look, feel and sound
WHAT - you do
Now you can call these whatever you want. You can call the answer to WHY you exist your brand purpose or your mission. You can call the ‘WHO', your values, principles, or philosophy. You can call your 'HOW' your behaviours, or mantra, or principles.
Contrary to what you might see elsewhere – what you call these things DOES NOT MATTER!
But what matters very much, is your answers to these questions, and that you answer all of them.
Why do we have to answer each of these questions?
Because the answers help to do different things for your business.
