Content Is King, But Brand Is Key

by | Feb 27, 2023 | Brand, Digital Marketing | 0 comments

Introduction 

As a Brand Consultant and a Brand Manager, I’d be lying if I said I don’t find the current social media landscape slightly unnerving at times.

While many brands out there are still committed to sharing their story with an authentic voice, some are caught up in what seems to be the daily grind for social exposure.
 
Some brands are showing true innovation with the new tools social media has given them while some have sidelined their story in favour of posting 10 or more reels a day and other brands are merely lost in the middle not sure what to do.
 

 

Why Brand Is Key When Creating Content 

 There are many reasons why Brand should be a key consideration when it comes to creating your content.

– A strong Brand helps you stand out in a noisy and crowed social landscape.

– A solid Brand helps keep your content consistent and gives it structure in which to follow.

– A clear Brand Strategy helps you build trust with your customers and employees.

– An engaging Brand gives your business and content a personality.

– An effective Brand gives your content an emotional spark which helps create a memorable impression with your audience.
