Why Building Your Brand Across Platforms is Essential

4 mins of reading time

Why building your brand across platforms is essential – The most important aspect of your company is its brand equity: recognition and profitability, which stem from consumer awareness of a brand’s product or service. Increased customer engagement is the only way to exaggerate positive perceptions of your brand and thus create the right brand image. Increasing brand equity ensures that you effectively penetrate the market and have every opportunity to increase market share.

The sort of pictures, videos, colours and symbols that you associate with your brand can heavily influence the emotions of your market. You can use this as an asset to put your company in a position that people will aspire to reach.

How you intend to interact with your market depends on the type of people in it and the methods of interaction they prefer. In today’s world, numerous platforms are available for advertising and promoting your products or services. Examples are websites, explainer and promotional videos, social media applications and campaigns, and TV and print commercials.

With marketing campaigns requiring coverage on all of these platforms, the process can be overwhelming, and maintaining consistency can be difficult.

Here are 52 Degree North‘s ten tips for building your brand across platforms:

1. Know your identity

The best thing you can do for your business is to know its ins and outs. You will promote your well-established company values, social alignments, goals and key messages. Processes like brand audits can help you assess your current standing to understand how far off you are from achieving your business objectives. Creating plans that will help you achieve your goals will also help you remain consistent. 

2. Stay informed about your target market

The best way to ensure your marketing campaigns succeed is to stay in touch with your target market. You can make informed choices by knowing changes in consumer tastes, needs, desires and trends.

3. Versatility

To remain competitive in today’s market, you will have to know which platform for marketing will be right for you. With so many options, you will have to filter them based on the campaign’s aim: more attention, product sales, brand introduction, or simply rebranding.

4. Colour

The colour you use to represent your brand can help with recognition and say a lot about your business. For instance, specific colours like blue and red have been linked to feelings of serenity and power. Tiffany & Co, for example, is known for its baby blue brand colour. Consistent use of the colour is bound to give you maximum recognition.

Brands that extensively use their logo in marketing campaigns can increase recognition and brand recall. Since each logo is distinctive. The most successful businesses that have built their brand identities have become recognisable just by their image. Nike, for example, has its trademark check sign, just as Audi has its rings. Even if you take one look at their logo, you will be able to name the company. 

6. Typography

Well-received typography is essential for building brand loyalty. Increased use of the style that promotes written text often ensures that all channels make brand recognition. The font you use can heavily impact the reader’s perception; for instance, Sans Serif is preferred for online writing because it is perceived as more transparent and easier to read. 

7. Imagery

The kinds of pictures, videos, colours, and symbols you associate with your brand can heavily influence your market’s emotions. You can use this as an asset to put your company in a position that people will aspire to reach. For instance, symbols that indicate you are environmentally friendly can go a long way in boosting customer reception of your product/services. 

8. Layout

The layout of your business can boost user experience. The design layout is essential for online companies like Amazon, which thrive based on their user experience. The information should be logical to follow, but it should be present in appropriate amounts. Don’t cram too much that causes agitation, and not too little that they turn to your competitor.

9. Formalise your brand

As you gain recognition, aim to formalise your brand. You should pass on brand books that emphasise and ground your brand’s values and integrity.

10. Tracking is key

Once you have gone through a campaign, the most helpful thing to do is to track the performance. Understand what aspects were highly successful and what failed to meet their aim. This way, you will design and create a more specific campaign the next time.

To ensure effective brand implementation, you must maintain consistency. It is the one quality that will help increase identity, recognition, equity and growth. 

Summary

Brand equity is the recognition and profitability that stems from consumer perception. There are many platforms through which you can advertise and promote your products or services. The colour you use to represent your brand can help recognition and say a lot about your business. The most successful companies have become recognisable just by their image. Nike, for example, has its trademark check sign just as Audi has its rings. Using typography well received by the customers is essential for building brand loyalty.
