Editor's Notes

  1. Welcome to the Toastmasters refreshed brand! Toastmasters International unveiled a new logo, tagline and positioning on Wednesday, August 17, 2011; the first day of International Convention. The rebrand is a significant step forward in achieving the mission of Toastmasters International. By creating a consistent identity across the globe, we ignite efforts to build membership and increase recognition of the organization. This consistency will inform prospective members, regardless of location, that Toastmasters is the leading organization dedicated to helping them become the speakers and leaders they want to be. While this is not a radical change, the rebrand will take a concerted effort to make the transition across all districts and clubs. In this presentation I’m going to share with you: An overview of branding. The reasons why a rebrand was necessary. The results of the research conducted to identify Toastmasters’ in the market place and in the minds of members and prospective members. The Toastmasters brand position and visual system. Club’s role in the brand refresh.
  2. A brand is an exclusive and desirable idea embodied in products, places, services, people and experiences. When we say exclusive and desirable idea – it truly means that the brand of an organization is exclusive and people have a desire to attain that brand. In Toastmasters we all know that the organization is unique – however it’s not easy to describe. We need a story to tell about this organization, and the brand refresh gives us this story. Think about the people we are trying to engage in Toastmasters – they vary in many different ways. Having one consistent position will help us to adapt our messaging to these varied audiences. You can also see in this definition that a brand is embodied in products, places, services, people and experiences. Sometimes when we think of branding we instantly think of a tangible product however it involves much more. Think about Hollywood, Disney World, consulting businesses, your favorite actor or actress – these all have very distinct brands that are exclusive to what they provide. Now the second half of the definition is: a great brand has the power to change perception, influence preference and command loyalty. All great brands have changed people’s perceptions – they alter how people think of them. Think of Starbucks. Do you think they have the best tasting cup of coffee? Not necessarily, but we’re buying the experience as much as we are the cup of coffee. If people prefer us, they join us. People interested in self-improvement won’t just go to any speaking and leadership organization; they’ll go to Toastmasters. If we all work hard to unite the Toastmasters brand, our organization will position itself in a way where it can truly achieve its mission.

  11. Toastmasters International Where Leaders Are Made - will be the tagline moving forward. Different from a theme, this is an enduring message of who we are today. It will not change from year to year. “In order to accomplish our mission, Toastmasters members, clubs and districts must provide one single, consistent message that demonstrates what Toastmasters is and what we offer the world.” – Toastmasters International President Michael Notaro, DTM For many years, Toastmasters has been synonymous with public speaking, However the powerful combination of strengthening one’s competence in communication and building leadership skills through participation in Toastmasters is what differentiates Toastmasters International from other skill-building programs. The new official tagline, “Where Leaders Are Made,” reflects this synergy between communication and leadership. Toastmasters training helps members build their competence in communication so they can gain the confidence to speak effectively and lead others. It is important that we all understand what this tagline means. It is not intended to summarize the entire member experience; rather, it represents what differentiates Toastmasters. It tells members and potential members what makes Toastmasters different from any other option they could choose to grow their communication and leadership skills. By consistently implementing this tagline along with the supporting brand positioning messages and imagery, you convey to the world that Toastmasters owns that place where members join and gain confidence in public speaking and communication. That confidence often gives them the strength to lead. Regardless of whether a Toastmaster has chosen to become a leader or not, but the mere fact that they are strong, clear and confident communicators, they are often naturally sought out as mentors, advisors and leaders.
