Designing the story is a craft that connects the company‘s values, mission, and vision with their target audience. A brand is composed of two parts; Brand Image, (the skeleton and DNA of an idea) and Brand Identity (the physical appearance of an idea.)
Branding Goals
A successful brand needs to meet these seven goals:
- Emotions – What types of emotions do we want to establish with your clients?
- Desires – What desires will your firm satisfy for your clients?
- Differentiation – How can you stand out from other law firms?
- Trust – How can you establish trust in your law firm?
- Value – What are the core values of your firm? Do your clients share the same values?
- Connection – Law firms will want to connect with the outside world. How can your law firm share your clients’ emotions with the outside world?
- Belongingness – How can you connect and reflect your clients within your brand? You want your clients and community to feel like they are a part of your brand.
Below the my process I‘m constantly refining to meet the goals above.
