Mastering Branding

Branding is a major part of public relations. You have to have a consistent brand. Sure, pivoting with the times is important, but there should be a common thread or theme with your brand at all times.  People and companies who are constantly changing their objectives or brand identity will never gain traction with the media, their own success or with customer loyalty. Keep this in mind as I notate the top three ways to master your branding efforts below.

1.       Don’t try to impress people out of the gate.  Instead, watch people and mold your brand to what they like.

2.       Put your brand identity over money. If you spend your professional career chasing money, you will never truly capture. However, if you spend your career promoting your brand and explaining why your products / services are the best, money will come to you. Prioritize your brand over money and the money will come.

3.       Don’t rely on gimmicks.  Sham-WOW was great as a brand. Key word ‘was’. You don’t want to keep chasing success with trending brand gimmicks. McDonald’s doesn’t. Apple doesn’t.  Cheap products backed by gimmicky brands do. Think about this.

I hope you have a lovely weekend and that you truly take these tips to heart.

Until Monday,


Coco the CEO
