Today, we are excited to welcome Heather Schaefer, one of our Premier Success Coaches, to the eWomenNetwork blog as our guest writer. In the article below, Heather is giving us a complete road map to building a strong brand strategy. Welcome, Heather!
A strong brand strategy is the foundation for long-term business success, but implementation of that brand strategy is where the real work happens. You can have the most refined messaging, dialed-in visuals, and bulletproof positioning, but if it’s not put into action, it’s just an expensive idea sitting in a Google Doc.
When it comes to the implementation of a brand strategy, whether or not you’re building your brand solo or you have a support team, matters. Each of these paths will look different but both can lead to success with the right approach. The key is knowing how to implement your brand strategy in a way that fits your capacity and growth goals.
Before You Begin: Solidify Your Brand Strategy
Before we can discuss implementation, it’s important to first ensure your brand strategy is solid. You may be asking “Why should I care?”. I often tell my clients, without a clear strategy, you’re just throwing spaghetti at the wall, hoping something will stick. Clarity in your brand strategy ensures every move you make is intentional and effective
Within your brand strategy, there are several key elements to consider:
Brand Positioning: Where do you stand in the market, and what makes you different?
Messaging: Does your communication fit your brand’s core values and audience expectations?
Visual Identity: Are your colors, fonts, and design elements cohesive and recognizable?
Audience: Do you understand your ideal client and their needs?
Brand Strategy vs. Marketing Strategy
Another common mistake entrepreneurs make is confusing a brand strategy with their marketing plan. While they are certainly interconnected, they serve distinct purposes:
A Brand Strategy is the guiding force—your North Star if you will. It defines your mission, values, messaging, positioning, and overall identity. It’s the GPS of your business that guides everything you do.
A Marketing Plan is how you communicate and promote your brand. It includes tactics like social media campaigns, email marketing, and advertising.
In short, a brand strategy isn’t a nice-to-have piece of your business; rather it’s ESSENTIAL. Think of a brand strategy as the blueprint and marketing strategy as the execution. Without a solid brand strategy, your marketing efforts will lack consistency and direction.
