5 Basic Steps to Keep in Mind When Developing Brand Identity

Let’s face the truth: there is something common between a corporate giant’s brand and a startup’s brand: if it’s unable to differentiate itself, it will be lost soon. But there are higher chances that a new brand will be the first one to lose the game.

Here’s the proof: 59% of people over the globe prefer purchasing from a brand they’re familiar with, according to a survey conducted by Nielsen.

So, if you’re a startup launching a product for the first time, you should make sure your brand stands out from the crowd. That’s when you need a brand identity.

Not sure how to bring out the unique personality of your brand when there are millions of other brands combating for the same market share?

Here’s a simple formula: the stronger the brand identity is, the higher are the chances of success.

In this post, we’ll guide you through the five basic steps of developing brand identity.

Since then, Apple has launched over 20 versions of the Ipod in varying degrees of memory capacity, colors and user interactions. What this tells us is that Apple clearly knew back then, as we do now, that there is no guaranteed formula for product success – you need to constantly innovate, tweak and critique.

Although I cringe at calling our most recent update Mondovo 2.0 (oh the cliches), it is as apt as it is significant because it puts even greater emphasis on time being spent on analyzing the data vs merely collecting.
