Branding: The Right Message
As this decade comes to end, one thing in PR and marketing has surely changed: how a company’s branding portrays the right message.
Sure, there are things that have carried on over the years, but with the decline of traditional news and news cycles and the instantaneous rise of social media creating the right message for the right audience has become even more challenging. Companies are constantly trying to stay relevant and ahead of their competitors, which makes creating new branding messaging hard enough. Integrating new phrases to keep existing and catch new customers increases the difficulty.
Messaging across all platforms: online ads, billboards, the company website, social media needs to be the same, but are they conveyed the same through these mediums? According to Baker, in today’s content-centric world it is important for companies to be more human and meaningful to convey their brand messaging.
Creativity Might Be the Key…
Piecing together a creative message is easy. How? All you have to do is explain why your product or service is better than anything else on the market and why using your company’s product or service cares more about customers than other brands who only see their customers as dollar signs. As said in the Baker article, the most compelling brand messaging is attributed to effective communications that forge a powerful unity and purpose for employees, stakeholders, and customers.
Standing out and being true to company values ties hand-in-hand when creating the right brand message.
