- There are some dirty rumors going around about branding.
- Tonight, let’s set the record straight.
- Let’s talk about these guys….

- A Tagline is NOT a logo. A tagline is a memorable phrase that encompasses the brand position. Again, it’s a helpful shortcut to help us remember the brand.

- A brand is NOTHING MORE and NOTHING LESS than a set of promises. A brand is an identifiable entity that promises value.
- Brands live only in the mind and the heart. What do you think of/picture??? What do you feel???
- We live in a branded world. We make purchase decisions based on brand every day.
- Clothes? Cars? Food? Alcohol? Computer equipment?

This is called your “Brand Position” – and it must be unique to be effective
- Defending Your Brand: Make everything you do, make, create, choose, enforce, etc consistent with your brand . Ask yourself with every decision – “is this good or bad for the brand? Is this consistent with the brand? ” If it’s not, DO NOT allow it . If you allow it, you are poisoning and discrediting your brand and wasting your time. You must say NO to diversion and choices that are not on brand (yes, this is scary) This takes attitude, conviction and discipline DEFEND YOUR BRAND’S HONOR
