Foundational Branding Makes Marketing Much Easier, with Rebecca Rausch, Neon Lizard Creative
Rebecca Raush: [00:00:00] Many people believe that branding is strictly, shall we say, just the logo. They slap the logo on everything, they make things similar colors, and, boom, they’ve got a brand. That’s not what branding is.
Rebecca Raush: [00:00:13] Branding is the cumulative perception of your company in the public. It is the reputation. It is how you handle disgruntlement. It is your art. It is your messaging. It is your visuals. It is the way the guy drives down the street, how you answer the phone. Everything that is presented to the public in the name of your company is your brand. Your employees need to be part of that brand. Everybody needs to live – what I call – the brand style, the values and the why that the company is based on.
Rebecca Raush: [00:00:43] And so, when we work with a company, we usually dig very, very deep. And we have a recipe, per se, that we follow in order to create that foundational brand, that then, if it is strong enough, it will carry through the marketing. And so, the marketing becomes much, much easier because you have this foundation of messaging, and your values, and you know exactly what you’re putting forth.
