Toolkit: Define Your Brand

Welcome to the Define Your Brand Toolkit – the PDF download to help you nail who you are as a Brand so that you can make decisions easier and help your customer understand exactly what your brand is all about. Helen from The Creative Business network and I have teamed up to offer a business advice service to answer all the questions that drop into our inboxes with easy DIY toolkits to help you build your brand.

This is the first Toolkit in the range and gives you the tools and tasks you need to help you Define Your Brand. We started with this toolkit because we know the importance of clarifying exactly who you are as a business. It’s the crucial step you need before you can begin to build on any other elements of your brand… social media, photography, marketing etc. Refining your brand and having clear distinction helps to build your identity and USP and it sets you aside, helping your brand stand out in a crowd.

Designed with both startups and existing businesses in mind, with tasks, prompts and loads of info, this toolkit will help you to narrow down every element of your brand and give you clarity on what aspects and messages are most important. This knowledge helps you develop a cohesive, successful and individual business that’s true to you. Being clear on these messages helps your audience understand exactly who you are and what you stand for – this in turn, makes it easier for your customers to invest in your brand, whether that be with their time, money or support.

The goal of the Defining Your Brand Toolkit is for it to help you delve into your new or existing business and assist you by asking all the right questions and giving you a set of exercises to help give you that clarity. Not only this but the toolkit helps you hone in on where and how, to make the changes to get it going in the right direction if it’s not already.

It should take around 2 hours to complete and we recommend you reassess maybe once a year to get a grasp of how your business has changed.
