what branding is not vs. what branding is

Lesson Summary

In defining oneself, it's clear that one thing cannot fully encompass a person. The combination of physical features, intrinsic qualities, personality, work, passions, and more all contribute to who someone is. Similarly, a brand is made up of various elements, not just one aspect.

Here are key points to consider:

  • Your brand is a culmination of all your features.
  • It's not just a logo, font, color, or packaging, but a holistic representation.
  • Every detail you put out there influences your brand image.
  • A logo is part of your brand but doesn't define it alone.

Reflecting on a successful brand like Apple, it's evident that a brand encompasses more than just products or visuals. The overall experience, including customer service, spaces, and feelings associated with the brand, contributes to its identity.

Consider the following:

  • Examine how you are perceived and if you like the brand image you project.
  • Take time to evaluate search engine results related to yourself or your business.
  • Be proactive in shaping your brand.
