Standard Brands Stand Out
consistent brand experience will not damage the brand and the company’s program goals. Large companies need to comply with the brand to communicate a consistent identity and voice. Standards help to build brand equity and they also support the company’s strategic messaging, making it more credible and robust. This is reassuring for customers to hear the same voice and saw a consistent visual expression of a brand. If they believe the brand and have had good experience with it and its products, consistent brand experience can, in their mind, confirm the wisdom of their choice and value to continue their relationship with brands.
It will be difficult to overstate the impact and value of consistency. Take Apple, for example. Do you recognize communication from Apple if it does not use Myriad, does not have a clean design, or if dropping a casual, friendly tone for a more formal expression? No way. We may not think about it, but we are so accustomed to the visual and verbal signals inherent in the identity of the top brands that we look at when one of the key elements of change.
While standards can provide a consistent brand experience, it’s actually more challenging to communicate the ways in which the product or service differentiated from the competition. How can you make anything but standard messaging while holding on to a more limited range of creative options allowed by the standards of the brand?
Embracing the brand standards. Read the manual completely and understand the constraints. Acquainted with the company’s brand guru and ask questions; there may be some details that have not fully thought about, and real-world experience you give them the opportunity to improve things. If you have questions about specific problems and needs further clarification or explanation, that perhaps others do too.
Tell a great story. Standard brands of efforts to standardize all aspects of voice communications for typography, and usually includes a template that determines the page design and content placement. But companies still need to play the role of institutions and information architect storyteller, so it is important to effectively position your products and explain the benefits of real-world value in a way that will engage, convince and motivate the target audience.
Encouraging strategic and creative. While standards can limit the choice of creative, clever treats standards bodies as a challenge and an opportunity to excel creatively when using restriction imposed to their advantage as a storyteller. How can you capture the imagination of your target audience and say something new when restricted to the template? It can be something as simple as finding the right image to work with a strong headline, or create a new storyline or updated for a strategic approach and creative products that work within the constraints of the standard brand but give you nothing but the standard .
When presented with the standard, the first thing to think about what you want to say to the target audience about the product, not how standards can limit what you say or how you say it.
