Your Super Six
Clarity

(001)

Can we call you crystal? Because your offerings are crystal clear! Your clarity score suggests your audience gets you. Clarity is often found in mature, well-defined markets or categories. These brands are easy for customers to understand, consider, and engage with.

Keep it up! And don’t forget:

  • Keep a pulse on audience shifts–new audiences might need more from your brand to understand your offerings.
  • Check-in when you add new products or services. Sometimes adding more can create more confusion for your customers.
Distinction

(002)

You’re doing ok here, but opportunity awaits. This distinction score suggests your brand may be expressing a differentiated offering, look and feel, or message, but not enough to confidently stay ahead of competitors or market trends in your category. Truly standing out in your competitive set can give you numerous advantages.

Action Items:

  • Revisit your brand’s position in the market. Does your position support the needs and challenges of your audience today? Is it future-proofed enough to keep you ahead of your competitors?
  • Consider developing a brand system that is so distinct that competitors won’t be able to easily duplicate you. For example–if most in our space use cheesy stock imagery, maybe you should invest in a custom photoshoot or hire an illustrator to create a new style that is more ownable.
Control

(003)

Your control score suggests your brand might be semi-consistent in your brand communications, but lacks the brand system tools to maintain consistency without draining your teams. For example, you may be inconsistent with your use of color, type, and photography, and your team struggles with brand voice without heavy direction. This can result in an inefficient internal brand process, duplicate work, creative frustration, and general wheel spinning.

Action Items:

  • Take a look at your brand toolkit–do you have what your marketing teams need to create consistent communications? Or are they limited by an outdated or shallow brand system?
  • Consider how you manage your brand. Do you have a role that can act as brand quality control?
Attraction

(004)

The people are picking up what you’re putting down. Your attraction score suggests your brand is making a compelling first impression with your audience. High-attraction brands tend to see high growth in their marketing and sales metrics, as indicated by conversions, leads, opportunities, and/or increasing social and digital traffic.

Keep it up! And don’t forget:

  • Keep an eye on your competitors–you might stand out today but others can catch up.
  • Pay attention to your brand’s distinction–you might naturally attract most from your reputation, but you could be missing opportunities with those who don’t know you yet without a clearly distinct brand.
Devotion

(005)

Well done, your devotion score is well-earned! Your devotion score suggests your brand provides a valuable experience that keeps audiences engaged and coming back. High-devotion brands consistently deliver on their customers’ expectations, having successfully operationalized their brand positioning throughout the organization. As a result of devotion, these beloved brands often enjoy the privilege of premium pricing.

Keep it up! And don’t forget:

  • Keep a pulse on audience shifts–new audiences might have different expectations that could put your overall brand devotion at risk.
  • Keep customer devotion top of mind when considering the impacts of any brand refresh.
Alignment

(006)

Seems like you’re pretty aligned, but is it felt by all? Your alignment score suggests there might be a sense of internal alignment around the brand story, values, and vision but it isn't deeply felt or consistently communicated enough to build a strong emotional connection to the brand. These brands suffer from challenges in recruiting talent and struggle to maintain important stakeholder engagement.

Action Items:

  • Take a look at your brand toolkit–does it reinforce the vision of the organization? Does it feel like a memorable rally cry for your team?
  • Gain an understanding of your team’s perception of the brand. Is there an opportunity to align our brand with what lights their fire?
