Story
A good brand strategy agency will unlock the full potential of your company story.
Brand Story Is Powerful. You Need to Get It Right.
Every brand has a story.
And your story is the key to attracting customers who align with your brand’s values, mission, and offer.
The reality is that many companies don’t know how to tell their story in a way that engages and capitavates their target audience.
That’s where a good brand strategy agency comes in.
At Webbuzz, we develop brand communications strategies that tell your story and explain what your company is all about. We’re not just any old brand agency.
Sydney and Australian-based companies we’ve worked with know that we deliver strategies that incorporate the three vital components of a brand communications strategy:
- Alignment with your brand’s objectives
- Alignment with your customers
- Alignment with your budget
Fine-Tune Your Messaging Architecture
Work with a marketing technology consultancy that can de-risk the transformation process.
‘Messaging architecture’ may sound intimidating, but it’s so much more than just a marketing buzz term. It’s actually a critical part of what any good brand strategy should deliver for a client.
So, what is a messaging architecture?
It’s the structure your company follows for all external communications. It guides your marketing and sales team when they’re telling your company’s story.
Organisations need messaging architecture in place to get their people consistently ‘on the same page’. That makes it a vital early step in the marketing transformation process. Ideally you want to ensure everybody in the business tells the same story to prospects, at the same time. Otherwise, the risk is that different teams or individuals tell fragmented versions of different stories.
This damages the alignment you’re trying to create with your customers and can have serious consequences for the business:
Dilutes the emotional power of the brand story
Confuses customers and staff
Adds a ‘friction point’ into the brand’s marketing
Reduces the efficiency of paid media
Increases new customers' cost per acquisition
We help you fine-tune your messaging architecture so your story always follows the same structure across all content and channels.
Our brand strategy process
Every brand has a different story. As a result, our specific process for telling your story varies depending on the tale you need to tell. Nevertheless, we can distil our general process into five core steps we use in most cases.
Step 1 – Figure Out Your Brand
This step is all about creating alignment within your business. We answer four core questions here:
- What is your vision?
- What is your mission?
- What is your core value proposition?
- What are your values?
The answers to these questions influence every aspect of the messaging you deliver to your customers and, as importantly, your own people.
Step 2 – Articulate Your Message
You know what you want to say. Now you need to figure out how to say it.
This step digs into the essence of your brand. Our brand strategy helps you define your company’s personality and the tone it follows when telling its story. We define your core messaging pillars and solidify the value proposition you intend to deliver.
Step 3 – Create (or refine) your identity
Consistency creates customers.
Your visual identity needs to be consistent across all digital channels. That means using the same colours, logos, imagery, and even fonts when telling your story. Our brand strategy agency defines the design framework you’ll use whenever you speak to customers.
Step 4 – Develop Your Brand Communications Guidelines
People come, and people go, but your brand’s story stays the same. Once you know what you want to say and how you wish to say it, you need brand guidelines that anybody in your business can follow.
These guidelines are a ‘how-to’ manual for anyone that works with your brand; internal stakeholders such as new and existing team members, and external suppliers such as contractors and agencies. It helps to get people staying on the same page, and will often include vocabulary rules.
Step 5 – Shout Your Story
You know how you’re going to tell your story.
Now it’s time to shout it from the rafters. With the help of the Webbuzz brand strategy agency, you shout your story from every marketing channel that’s relevant to your business.
