Why branding is important
1. It generates value
2. It puts you in control
3. It’s about heuristics - the way humans make decisions

A brand isn’t just your name or logo. It’s the thing that
they all spring from. The expression of who you are as
a business (the epitaph that you’d like on its
gravestone?)

they will keep coming back.

How - identity
Salient names and logos are those that are memorable but also conceptually linked to the category of
product or service they provide. The more salient your name and logo, the better they will aid
awareness and therefore early growth.

Summary
Why
Brands are important because they reflect the way people think about the world, and as such give
multiple benefits to companies of any size who can define them clearly.
What
A brand is a statement of your company’s personality and identity, not just a logo. Think about purpose,
values, style and identity and how to form them into a coherent whole.
How
Be authentic, unique and salient in your choices. For companies at your stage a salient brand name
and a unique brand personality are the most cost-effective marketing you can have.
