Really successful online marketers are companies with a powerful, consistent brand personality. Why? Well...In the last year or so, I’ve noticed a brilliant shift in the world of online marketing. As you know, many of the companies that are growing at a fast clip are using content marketing. They’re communicating with their customers. They’re giving away information for free. But even more than that, the really successful online marketers are companies with powerful, consistent brand personalities. They know who they are and what they stand for. And it comes across in every blog post, newsletter, webpage, and communication....Here's how...
Like humans, brands have a personality. Make it popular.
Very thought provoking reading in terms of identifying what your brand personality is opposed to trying to be big and bold and funny like other brands have done successfully.
First of all the personality must be appropriate for your brand and secondly it must reflect what your brand stands for.
Two points that stand out the most for me in the consideration of brand personality is consistency and authenticity - any one consumer who looks at your advertising, sees your social media and marketing content etc should be able to identify who you are and what you stand for. On a deeper level even relate to the personality and feel like they have a relationship with that brand.
