5 Steps for a Cohesive Brand Experience Across Touchpoints
The Problem: Your Brand Feels Disjointed
Ever seen a business with mismatched branding? Their Instagram is fun and playful, but their website feels like a boring corporate template. It’s confusing, and guess what? Confused customers don’t buy.
Step 1: Audit Your Current Touchpoints
Take stock of everywhere your brand shows up:
Social media, website, emails, packaging, signage—you name it.
Ask yourself: Is it all consistent?
Step 2: Define Your Brand Basics
Every brand needs these locked down:
Logo Variations: Have options for different uses (full logo, icon, wordmark).
Color Palette: Stick to 4-6 colors that work together.
Typography: Two to three fonts max, with clear hierarchy.
Step 3: Speak in One Voice
From your website copy to Instagram captions, your tone should feel like one person. Define whether your voice is formal, conversational, playful, or something else.
Step 4: Create a Style Guide
A style guide is your cheat sheet for keeping your brand consistent. It outlines everything—logos, colors, fonts, tone of voice, and more.
