We just added a brand essence generator. Once our tutorial is released on this template, it will be linked here. But first, let us walk you through what it is and why you need one!
The essence of your brand is the quality that it exudes at every single touchpoint. By reinforcing memory structures, repeatedly, through consistent messaging, your brand can achieve salience in a crowded marketplace.
It is not a vision or a mission statement.
It is not the tagline.
It is not the logo.
It is the way the product feels in your hand and the way the secretary answers the phone. It is what the colors on the packaging remind you of and it dictates what you expect from your suppliers. It’s a measuring stick and a true north for any established business.
The brand essence of Airbnb is “Belonging.” The brand essence of Coca-Cola is “Happiness.” It doesn’t have to be just one word. For example, Facebook’s brand essence is, “The social infrastructure for community.” Remember, this is not something that your customers will probably ever read, it’s an internal phrase or quality that resonates throughout your business that helps and informs your process, whether you’re populating your content calendar, briefing influencers or choosing your next product to launch.
If you’re just starting out, a brand essence might not be something you need right away—the best thing to do is to experiment and find out who you are. But remember, that idea of who you are, that essence, is constituted congruently by who you are as a company and your customers’ needs.
You have to be able to deliver on it and more importantly, believe in it.
