Branding

If you don’t define your brand – your customers will do it for you.

It’s one of the reasons your customers do business with you. We’ve found that if you don’t define your brand, your customers will do it for you.

The art of building brand identity is different today than it was even a few years ago. The crowded space online makes it even more challenging to establish a truly unique brand that’s bold and refreshing, effective and lasting.

At Savy, branding is kindof a big deal.

“For me, it started when I read an article in a local business magazine on social media.
I was curious as one of my near term goals was to put a freshness in my marketing and branding.  I liked what I read. From there, I moved my way to the author’s website. www.savyagency.com.”

“Mind you, I’m in front of a computer all day at work which includes viewing many websites every day. I am not easily impressed with website design, content and layout; simply put, I’m a tough customer. From the moment I landed on Savy’s site, I knew I had a high probably of hiring this firm to accomplish my objectives. It was then merely my job to vet that process.”

“My expectations, all be it very high, have been surpassed every step of the way. What is clear is that the Savy team has tremendous passion for their work; equally important, they have an ability to understand my passion for my work, and see that it is reflected. This has been such an energizing and exciting process. I am so glad I picked up that newspaper!”

Starting with the challenge – Developing effective positioning strategies

By true definition, positioning is the process by which a brand is marketed with the goal of owning a meaningful and differentiated idea in the mind and hearts of an audience. Sure, the idea seems simple enough. But in practice, very few actually get this, or if they do, they have the darnedest time positioning correctly in a manner that sticks.

People have a tendency to start the process with checklist items: I need to build a website, launch a Facebook page, a blog, design a new, interactive brochure-you fill in the blank.

Savy starts with the business challenge. Though necessary, branded, consistent collateral that “wows” is not the challenge. The challenge may be finding your markets. Once you’ve found them, it may be connecting with them, and from there, developing more leads, converting lost leads, becoming more successful in providing the products and service they want, or increasing marketshare for your particular product or service.

Business challenges come in many forms. But they all require effective positioning to achieve them. Savy applies the principles of positioning first in order to get the right idea-the concept that will direct all the “checklist items” in your marketing plan to achieve the business challenge.
