A well-crafted brand strategy precisely defines the methods, content, locations, timing, and target audience for a brand's communication. It also devises a sustained plan for the brand's ongoing evolution. The outcome is often a handbook or brand manual, aligning all involved parties with the comprehensive strategy. This approach usually encompasses various elements: Brand Audit, Audience Personas, Collaborative Workshops, Positioning and Messaging, Competitive Analysis, Market Research, Brand Platform, and Packaging Strategy.
