Brand strategy needs to resonate with all stakeholders.

Brand strategy is like the corpus callosum. It connects the left brain with the right brain and makes the brand work. Effective brand strategy provides a central unifying idea around which all behavior, actions, and communications are aligned. It works across products and services, and is effective over time. The best brand strategies are so differentiated and powerful that they deflect the competition. They are easy to talk about, whether you are the CEO or an employee.

Brand strategy builds on a vision, is aligned with business strategy, emerges from a company‘s values and culture, and reflects and in-depth understanding of the customer’s needs and perceptions. Brand strategy defines positioning differentiation, the competitive advantage, and a unique value proposition.

Brand strategy needs to resonate with all stakeholders: external customers, the media, and internal customers (including employees, the board, and core suppliers). Brand strategy is a road map that guides marketing, makes it easier for the sales force to sell more, and provides clarity, context, and inspiration to employees.
