Why is it important?
• For the consumer
– Brands have the ability to differentiate in a cluttered
market – making it simpler for consumers to make a
choice
• For your business
– There is plenty of evidence to prove that customers
will pay a substantial price premium for a good
brand and remain loyal

More than just a name
• Whilst it is important to have a strong identity, your
brand should also embody a “promise”
– “… to deliver consistently a
specific set of features,
benefits and services to
buyers.”

Developing a Brand Key - Introduction
What is a Brand Key?
A Brand Key establishes a framework and most importantly a common
language for your brand. Its probably one of the single most important
exercises you can do when commencing your brand development journey.
Why is it important?
Developing a Brand Key can help shape the strategic direction of your firm by
determining the essence of your Brand. That is, who you are, your values,
personality, your USP, customer Promise etc. This will translate into tone of
voice for example (all of which will be included to your brand guidelines.) When
interrogated correctly a Brand Key will also help to define how your brand adds
value to the business (brand scorecard.)
