Building a strong brand is essential to ensuring your business connects with your target audience. This brand strategy masterclass walks you through the three key elements every business should focus on: Positioning, Story, and Vibe.

1. Positioning

Positioning is about identifying where your brand sits in a crowded marketplace. Think of it as the strategic calculation of how your brand, product, or company stands out from the competition and how it fits into your customer’s mind. Positioning isn't just about comparing yourself to direct competitors. It involves a broader look at everything your audience could choose over your product, even if it's from a different industry. To find your unique position, examine your competitors and ask: What gap exists? Where can your brand make an impact that others aren’t?

2. Story

Every great brand has a story that resonates with its audience. Your brand’s story is the narrative that evokes an emotional connection, solving a pain point or creating excitement. It ties directly to your positioning and answers the question: Why should someone choose your brand? Crafting this narrative is essential, as it forms the foundation for how you communicate your features, benefits, and values to your audience. Your brand story should make people say, “This brand gets me.”

3. Vibe

Your brand’s vibe captures its personality, tone, and ethos. It’s the look, feel, and emotional energy your brand puts out into the world. Whether your brand exudes boldness with vibrant colours and dynamic visuals or stays minimalist with clean, muted tones, your vibe shapes how customers perceive you. It’s the swagger your brand carries into the room and how it engages with the world.

Aligning Your Team on Brand Strategy

A common mistake companies make is either not investing enough in brand strategy or allowing internal politics to overshadow audience needs. To avoid this, make sure all key stakeholders—from CEOs to customer success teams—are part of the early conversations about your brand. This fosters alignment and allows different perspectives to shape a stronger, more unified brand.
