What is brand positioning?
Between differentiation, identity and communication

To do this, you can bet on any of your distinctive elements. Product features, customer-experience offering to customers, the promise of value and much more.

What are the elements of branding? Here they are:

Vision

Vision is the image of the desired future, of who you want to be and how you want to make a difference. The vision reflects your ideals, values and aspirations.

It also includes the general view of the market and the interpretation of the role that your company will have in the future in the economic and social context.

Mission

The mission is your company’s ultimate goal, the positive contribution you want to make to your customers and society. It is also an element that distinguishes you from other players on the market.

The mission is the way forward to realise the vision.

Values

Your values, or core values, are your company’s deepest values.

These reflect its character and principles and constitute the “guidelines” for every activity and communication. They are divided into macro and micro-values, according to their depth level.

Brand promise & reason why

The brand promise or value proposition is the promise you make to your customers. It is the motivation that drives them to buy.

The reason why is the argument that makes your brand promise credible. This is why your company believes it can maintain its value proposition.

Customer experience: the functional and emotional benefits

Customer experience is what you offer your audience every time people relate to your brand.

Understands the functional and emotional benefits you choose to fulfil. What are the tangible benefits you offer, and what emotional values do you bring to your customers?

Brand identity & brand image

The identity and your brand image are the tangible manifestations of your company. They include:

The naming, the name. It must reflect the company, be distinctive and easy to remember.
The payoff, or tagline, is a short phrase that summaries the brand’s essence

Communication, composed of tone of voice, communicative style and approach to the different channels
