Consistency is the secret to building a brand that customers recognize and trust. Every interaction—whether it’s your website, social post, ad, or printed material—should feel like you.
So, how do you create a brand that’s cohesive across every customer touchpoint?
Start by answering these three essential questions.
1. Who Are You? (Define Your Brand Identity)
Before you can communicate effectively, you need to know who you are.
-
Write down your story—how your company started and where you’re headed.
-
Document your mission and values so they guide every decision.
-
Create a living brand guide that keeps your identity clear and consistent.
When your team (and your customers) understand who you are, every message becomes stronger.
2. What Do You Do? (Clarify Your Value)
It’s easy to say what you sell—but your brand is more than products or services.
Think about what your customers truly gain from you.
For example, National Geographic doesn’t just provide stories and photos; they offer a chance to experience the world in ways most people never can.
Ask yourself:
-
What do customers really get from working with you?
-
What problems do you solve that others don’t?
Answering these questions will help you craft messaging that resonates on a deeper level.
3. How Do You Show It? (Bring Your Brand to Life)
Your visuals, tone, and customer experience should all reflect the same brand personality.
Take a cue from National Geographic again—they have clear guidelines for every element, from photography style to logo placement.
To strengthen your consistency:
-
Audit your website, social channels, and marketing materials for mismatched elements.
-
Establish brand guidelines covering fonts, colors, imagery, and voice.
-
Apply them everywhere, from ads to email signatures.
Once you have your answers recorded, you’ll have a starting point from which you can make decisions on your website design, marketing channels, customer experiences, and even the people who work with you… so every touchpoint with your brand is cohesive and consistent! Branding isn’t simple, but it doesn’t have to be complex either.
