A brand personality is shared in a number of ways. It can be online, offline or face to face. Either way, companies must seek to reflect their brand personality in every interaction that they have with their stakeholders.
The way in which a company portrays itself visually shows the kind of company that they aspire to be, the clients they aspire to have and the impact they aspire to make on the world around them.
Secondly, it is the way in which the brand interacts with its stakeholders. Through an informative tone of voice, which seeks to advise and help stakeholders find new ways to grow, you should show your customers that you are learning alongside them.
To define a brand, you need to understand it. There are three crucial features which make up the way in which the organisation and its workforce operate every day:
1. Never stop learning
Even after several years of innovation, you must continue to learn and face new challenges. Tackling those challenges head-on is key to your desire to grow your knowledge and get meaningful and valuable answers from every question posed.
2. Optimism
The future will bring changes to the world around us, both good and bad, as technology develops while the environment comes under increasing threat. Your brand needs to be confident that you can face up to these changes and embrace them to make your world accessible and empowering.
3. Stay grounded
You may be an expert in your field, but honesty and integrity are crucial to the way in which you operate. Constantly learning, we know that there is always more knowledge to acquire. Sharing this knowledge requires a humble approach, and that is fundamental to your personality.
Bringing a brand personality to life
A brand personality is not something that exists on a screen or on printed materials alone. A brand personality should become an essential part of day-to-day life when working alongside an organisation.
Through the creation of the human touch, reflected by the visual identity of the brand, seek to add a personal approach to every interaction, regardless of which of your digital touch points have provided the contact. This way, you can make a long-lasting impression on your stakeholders.
Maintaining and evolving a brand personality
Global brand personalities are constantly changing and evolving. Companies face up to new challenges, and that calls for you to adapt your aims and goals to fit the environment you are operating in.
For Kyocera Document Solutions, our brand personality is the most valuable element of our re-branding project. Defining our values, reflecting them accurately and ensuring that they are always relevant and shared has become our priority.
