Branding 101: The foundation

So how do you go about shaping your audiences perceptions? 

Know what you are about: What are your values? Understanding what you are about will help you to communicate with your audience. Keep it simple and precise. Can you sum it up in five words? For example perhaps you are about energy, positivity, quality, service and approachability. These five words can steer your business; every time you produce a piece of marketing material or a sales assistance opens their mouth ask 'does it line up with my five core words of what my business is about?' If no then re-do it, re train the employee until every touch point of your business is communicating the five core values effectively.
