Indie Artists Guide to Branding
Indie Artists Guide to Branding
If you ask 30 industry professionals what a brand is you are likely to get 30 different definitions. The basic definition of a brand is the impression, feeling, or view you want people to use to identify you. You cannot buy a brand through advertising or marketing, because the brand is created by reputation, word of mouth or your interaction through personal contacts or social media. Marketing creates awareness, Branding creates perceived values. For Example, if you had two cars in front of you and they both looked exactly the same except one is a Toyota and the other is a BMW. You would choose the BMW because their brand or perceived value. The BMW has created a brand the portrays, luxury, engineering, and status. Even if both cars had the same features and build the BMW’s brand will push you to purchase their car over the Toyota, and be willing to pay a premium for it.
