There's a significant difference between brand building and brand growing. It isn’t just about looking good; it’s about being unforgettable.
Here’s how to cultivate an authentic Unique Selling Point:
Step One: Pause and Reflect
Amid the frenzy of launching initiatives and engaging with audiences, it’s crucial to pause and take stock. Without this, you’re just spinning your wheels and at risk of being blindsided by the constant need to produce.
Step Two: Create Space for Questions
Now, get curious. Make time to ask the big questions about your brand, culture, and the forces driving your messaging. This reflective space is where insights emerge.
Step Three: Collaborate with Brand Mirrors
Engage with experienced individuals, both internally and externally, who can serve as brand mirrors. These mirrors see, hear, and reflect your brand from a distance, offering a clear view of your current vision and potential future.
It’s easy to spot imperfections when you look in a mirror, but it’s equally important to recognise and amplify the strengths that make your brand unique.
