Developing a
Strong Brand
Core Concept + Essence
Positioning
Supporting Keys
Clarify the core of
your brand
“...is not an advertising slogan nor a description
which will change with every communication.
Essence should be a long term positioning which
changes rarely and is more like a mission
statement for a brand.”
Helena Rubinstein
Managing Director and founder of the lab, a strategy company that focuses on branding
and other related intangible issues
Brown Dog’s
Brand Concept
Unique Websites that
Echo Your Brand
Essence
Defined as: The distillation of a brand’s promise
into the simplest possible terms
Example #1 - IKEA: cheap modular furniture
Example #2 - Porsche: performance sports cars
Brown Dog’s Essence:
“Harmony”
Like the single song of many instruments, Brown Dog Creative
delivers websites that work in harmony with your brand. Cutting
through the clutter like a best friend’s whistle that calls you to
dinner, Brown Dog’s brilliantly-designed websites also get
attention. That’s because Brown Dog is a technology dynamo
creating more than just award-winning websites. With Brown
Dog, you’ll get a loyal partner who listens and delivers
interactive technology that helps your brand stand out from the
pack. Brown Dog is well trained in marketing, design, message
strategy and brand development. So you’ll get a web-based
design that is not only an extension of your brand, but one that
extends your brand with an interactive presence that makes your
product or service look more desirable. And that’s the kind of
music that’ll make anyone sit, stay, and surf.
Polished Brand Essence
Should be maintained in such a way that
it has 100% recall amongst the whole
business team
TIP: Consider an internal presentation to
your entire organization.
Essence Works.

Thinking
Do it Yourself or
Engage Experts?
Outsiders avoid branding in a mirror
Keep objective perspective
Avoid internal battles and make decisions clear
Positioning:
Strategy for the whole brand
Positioning statement that’s narrow enough to be
specific to only you but broad enough to include
who you’ll be;
It tells insiders how the brand should act
Brand voice that will anchor the visual and
written tone of every brand communication;
It tells insiders how the brand should look, feel
and speak
Brown Dog’s
Positioning Statement
For those to realize the potential of
interactive technology, Brown Dog Creative is
a web boutique that delivers beautifully-
designed websites that work.

A reflective process

is saying.)
