The Brand Saga Audit

FIVE QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE IF YOUR BRAND HAS A SOUL, AND NOT JUST A LOGO

 
 

Is your brand a noun or a verb?

A brand is not a product or a color. It is a kinetic force that must do something to someone—cause a change or call up a feeling. What specific insight are you trying to provoke? 



Does your brand know its "heartmark"?

Without clear intentions around which emotions your brand wants to arouse in its community, you face the uphill battle that comes with selling, rather than serving.



Are you marketing to spreadsheets or a human beings?

Defining a community has little to do with demographics and everything to do with psychography and raw desire.



Does your brand have a code for how it speaks, or an abstract notion of “brand voice”?

Iconic brands are instantly recognizable because they use a detailed set of actionable directives to ensure their voice is on point every single time they communicate.



Is your current campaign a "Big Bang" or a whimper?

A campaign should be the latest dramatic iteration of your long-running saga—the current chapter of goings-on—not a random departure from your heritage.

 
 

If your brand feels like a collection of assets rather than a singular, kinetic force, you don't have a marketing problem. You have a brand soul problem.

Let’s create the platform and code you need to build and govern your brand universe.
