The Advertising world is a world of words. Think about it, brands are created in the mind, but to get inside in the mind requires words, artfully selected words, words that create a specific image in the mind. These words can then be represented with imagery that amplifies the intent of the brand. Enduring brands understand this relationship between words and the brand identity and they hire a professional ad agency to guard, protect and manage all aspects of what is being communicated.
Some great brands have seen their brand identity undermined by not understanding this most basic relationship between words and brands. Can a brand like Mercedes really be positioned as “affordable” and while maintaining its brand image as a world-class luxury vehicle? Could Harley Davidson market a scooter without damaging their bad-boy brand image? Seems simple, but this unfortunate outcome of competing, even destructive messages is played out more often than you might image. A company may have one agency handling their traditional marketing and different agency handling its digital marketing with each agency having two distinct sets of objectives and brand image understandings.
The success or failure of a brand’s future is determined by its choice of words. Are the brand’s words consistent over the years and are the words the same across all marketing channels – including the digital world?
