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.
