Broadly speaking, brand campaigns are communications designed to raise awareness of your company, tell your story, and differentiate you from the competition. Their goal is to bring your brand to life in an impactful way, leaving people with lasting positive impressions. This can be done in different ways and across all kinds of media: television, billboards, radio, newspapers... but in today's landscape, most brand campaigns live primarily on digital platforms: social media, email marketing, paid advertising, etc.
But why should you run a brand campaign? Your product or service is fantastic, so shouldn't its quality speak for itself?
Unfortunately, things no longer work that way. Consumers expect more from their brands: they want personality and authenticity, and they see the brands they use as an extension of their personal identity, rather than simply as products.
66% of people follow brands on social media, and 59% of consumers prefer to buy new products from brands they are familiar with.
All companies, regardless of their size or track record, need to think about how consumers perceive their brand. With the business landscape constantly changing and new brands and trends emerging, attracting and retaining customers requires ongoing investment in brand awareness, for everyone.
Brand campaigns can be major drivers of a company's success, or they can fail completely. To make sure your campaign is the former rather than the latter, it is important to consider some proven best practices and strategies for success:
- Be clear about who you are
- Define your target audience
- Research the competition
- Partner with influencers
- Keep it simple
- Track and measure success
- Don't abandon the campaign too soon
The strength of your brand is not measured by what you think and say about it, but by what other people think and say about it. Fortunately, a successful brand campaign can help ensure that those two impressions are exactly the same.
