Enormously powerful. Enormously fragile. Building a brand takes vision. It takes passion and sweat. And perhaps most importantly, it takes discipline.
The discipline to never waiver from your brand’s DNA and what your message to the world will be.
You want your brand is not just in the hearts and minds of a few, but in the minds and hearts of hundreds of people who will touch the brand and share it with the world. It is impossible to overemphasise the importance of brand consistency. Endless studies prove consistency increases awareness and helps cement an emotional connection to a brand.
The more single-minded you are, the more powerful your brand will be. It’s that simple.

They are a way for consumers to become emotionally involved.
Brands are a promise, you know what you’re getting, exactly, always.
You can count on them.
You trust them.
