Tell Stories That Stick
Set a relatable problem, show the tension, reveal your brand’s helpful role, and end with transformation. A fintech told how a nurse balanced night shifts and savings using micro-goals. Readers recalled the story months later—because it felt real.
Tell Stories That Stick
Origins matter when they solve a universal frustration. A founder who waited three hours for customer support built a company around five-minute replies. Invite your community to submit their founding sparks; feature the best in a subscriber-only roundup.
Position Clearly, Differentiate Boldly
Pick a category that amplifies your strengths. A meditation app moved from “wellness” to “workday performance,” unlocking new budgets and metrics. Comment with your category choice and we’ll suggest sharper language in our newsletter.
Position Clearly, Differentiate Boldly
A strong POV attracts the right people and repels mismatches. Declare what you believe about price, quality, speed, or sustainability. A coffee brand championed two-ingredient simplicity, instantly clarifying shelf choices. What will you adamantly refuse to compromise?
Logo, Typography, and Rhythm
Select a logotype that scales cleanly, pair it with a versatile type family, and define spacing rhythms. A nonprofit adopted a type system with generous whitespace, reinforcing accessibility. Post your current logo in our thread for constructive critique.
Color Psychology with Restraint
Successful branding techniques use color to convey emotion without chaos. Choose a primary hue for recognition, a neutral for balance, and a highlight for action. Small teams often win by limiting palettes, boosting consistency across social and packaging.
Design for Real-World Touchpoints
Prototype business cards, shipping labels, app screens, and thumbnails early. An outdoor brand tested signage in harsh light to ensure contrast and legibility. Invite your audience to vote on mockups; the most clicked variant usually surprises the team.
Shape Voice, Tone, and Messaging
Start with a one-sentence value proposition, expand to three proof-rich pillars, then craft page-level messages. A SaaS team reduced bounce rate by aligning headlines to those pillars. Share your draft ladder and we’ll spotlight thoughtful examples.
Shape Voice, Tone, and Messaging
Define how tone shifts: bold in ads, warm in onboarding, direct in alerts. A delivery service added empathy statements to delay notices, reducing refund requests. Ask subscribers to help test tone options with screenshot polls.
Shape Voice, Tone, and Messaging
Great taglines compress value and feeling. Try two-beat patterns, alliteration, or contrast. Field-test lines with real audiences, not just your team. Collect responses, track recall a week later, and keep only what people repeat unprompted.
Enable Consistency with Governance
Host guidelines, templates, and examples in one searchable hub. Include do-and-don’t comparisons and downloadable assets. A startup linked Figma libraries to their playbook, cutting design rework dramatically. Invite readers to request a template they need most.
Enable Consistency with Governance
Run monthly brand clinics, Slack office hours, and onboarding quizzes. A retailer ended each meeting with a two-minute “brand micro-lesson,” improving message consistency within weeks. Share your favorite ritual; we will compile them for subscribers.
