Your Super Six
Clarity

(001)

Although your brand offerings are pretty clear to most–do you sometimes feel like certain audiences don’t get you? Or like some of your services or products are an afterthought in their minds? Your clarity score suggests you have an average baseline of clarity, but there could be room for improvement. It may indicate complicated relationships between your sub-brands or products, or perhaps you’ve expanded your offerings beyond the core you’re known for.

Action Items:

  • Look at your noun–how do you describe your business or category? Don’t sacrifice clarity on the altar of distinction. Is there an opportunity to add more clarity by how you describe the organization?
  • Review your brand’s visuals and messaging. Does it connect with modern audience’s needs and understanding of your service?
  • Sketch out your current brand architecture. Are the relationships between your sub-brands or products creating more confusion than clarity? Hint: Don’t brand your org chart.
Distinction

(002)

Stand proud, you’re a stand-out brand! Your distinction score suggests you have a differentiated offering or experience, and convey uniqueness through your name, message, logo, or look and feel, as compared to direct competitors. High-distinction brands tend to visually and verbally stand out in the marketplace and get more attention.

Keep it up! And don’t forget:

  • Keep an eye on your competitors–you might be the trendsetter today but others could start to copy you or catch up.
  • Pay attention to your brand’s clarity–distinction can create confusion without it.
  • If your look starts to feel tiresome to you, don’t give it up quite yet. While it seems like old news to you, your audience is likely just now getting used to it.
Control

(003)

You run a tight brand ship–just how we (and your customers) like it! Your control score suggests your brand has consistent visual treatments (color, layout, type, imagery, etc.) and/or a consistent brand voice and message across multiple touchpoints. High-control brands are easily recognizable by their audiences and they provide a familiar experience, which builds trust and credibility.

Keep it up! And don’t forget:

  • Find the right moments to be unexpected–well controlled brands can sometimes get stale without unexpected moments in copy or visuals.
  • Consider creating a brand school to continue to train and educate employees and partners on how to maintain your brand’s consistency. Remember, if you are getting tired of it, your audience is probably just now getting familiar with it.
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)

Your alignment score suggests your leadership has successfully defined and socialized a compelling brand strategy. They’ve made it clear how each area of the organization is expected to deliver on the brand, and with buy-in from higher-ups, those teams are held accountable through related performance indicators. High-alignment brands respect and understand the power of brand in today’s marketplace, and thereby benefit from an emotional connection to the brand internally that impacts culture.

Keep it up! And don’t forget:

  • Check your recruitment and onboarding touch points–do they accurately reflect your brand vision and organization’s culture?
  • Keep internal alignment top of mind when considering any future brand changes.
