Key Considerations in Online Brand Building

  • When building brands online, content is king. If your brand is not associated with continuous stream of useful or entertaining content, it will be taken far less seriously.
  • The online medium invites feedback and engagement. Build this into your brand’s online experience.
  • Visuals (including videos) are becoming increasingly important to any online brand experience.
  • An important benefit of the online medium is that it makes it possible for your brand’s messages to go viral. There are specific strategies and tools to help you initiate and accelerate this viral process.
  • As with any other brand activity, you must start by defining your target audiences.
  • Furthermore, your brand must have a unique value proposition and you must be very clear about your brand’s promise.
