There have been volumes written about Branding in the last few decades. It can get needlessly complicated. Before you build a company, a business, or a personal brand - create an event or start a venture - there are a few points, that if you get them right - it will make all the difference.
Success for a brand, is determined in great part, by three things; image management, message management, and channel management. Aligning those with who you are, who your customer is - and where you want to be, will determine whether you end up first in class, 3rd in class, a luxury brand, an economy brand, a brand that instills trust and confidence, or one that makes people hesitate.
You want to end up in the marketplace where you get the best results - the best ROI. You also want to make sure you strike the right emotional tone so you get the customer emotionally engaged. I've been fortunate to work on some very high profile endeavors. Whether the projects are large campaigns or small, the same principles apply.
