Week 2: The Branding Process

Branding is more than just designing a logo, strapline, and visual to represent a firm, nation, or individual. A brand incorporates its image and reputation, as well as its physical appearance and feel.

This development in branding and brand recognition has been driven by rising worldwide consumption and new technologies that have improved global communications.

Figure1.1 Branding Process

The brand Experience

A brand experience is essentially how your audience feels about your brand. As a result, in order to connect with its audience, the brand must first generate engagement and then give brand value.

The brand Story

A brand story helps to create simplicity from complexity by pinpointing a single route across a sea of choices. The story must then be translated into visual elements and implementation by designers.
Stories may be utilized at any point of the brand idea creation process to generate scenarios that describe how consumers will engage with the brand.

SWOT

It is a technique that can help you achieve complete awareness of all the factors involved in decision-making.

Customer journey map

A Customer Journey Map depicts the customer journey visually. It aids in identifying customers' experiences with the brand at all stages and touchpoints.

Positioning of a brand

It all boils down to how your customers perceive your brand. It is often used to affect external execution as an internal strategy declaration.


Week 3: The Creative Brief

Any new campaign will require a hook or theme that you want people to remember, share, and act on. The overall theme that supports all components of a campaign in order for it to resonate with the target audience is referred to as the campaign's big idea. In the process of restricting the focus, a big concept arises.

Figure1.3 Creative Brief

  • A brief document that summarises the mission, goals, difficulties, demographics, messaging, and other critical information of marketing, advertising, or design project.
  • Developed by a consultant or creative project manager.
  • Goal: to obtain stakeholder alignment on a project before it starts.

      • Questions to be considered when writing a creative brief:
        • Has the company launched a campaign like this before?

        • What's happening in the market and how will this campaign respond to it?

Instruction:


Project 1B:

We had to propose a personal branding to our friend, the friend I interview was Wai Fern.

I started the interview with Wai Fern to have a better know of her.

Interview Question: 
Figure2.1 First Interview Question

After the First interview section with Wai Fern, I started to know about something with Wai Fern. However, Ms. Lilian point out some question about Wai Fern was too general, I need to specify that and ask another question to Wai Fern to have a better understanding.

Second interview Section:
 Figure 2.2 Second Interview Question

Now Ms. Lilian says I'm good to brand Wai Fern now.

Feedback:

Week 2: 

Case study was very basic, brand experience was unclear. There was a lot of room that can improve. Interview question was too general, need to know more about Wai Fern. The brand story actually can take a bit of Wai Fern history into it, what I know about her pass. Target audience need to include people like Wai Fern. 

Week 3:

Ms Li Lian mentioned my overall progress was good and there are some areas I need to refine a bit more.The focus is out of point, we are branding Wai Fern not the music festival. Brand values overall was ok, however other parts was to center with the event not Wai Fern. The brand positioning need to elaborate more. 

Week 4:

The references poster was not suitable for the event that gonna do, need to do more research about it.  Because the branding was a event, therefore there's a lot of possibility to fill. The references of the ticket was not really a ticket to show is more like a wristband after u enter the event because nowsaday people don't really have a physical ticket.  



Reflection:

Experience:

This is the first time we've had firsthand knowledge of what brand strategy includes. I believe that the process of analysing and developing our own campaigns exemplifies this very effectively. I appreciated being in a physical class again.

Observation:

 During this job, particularly Task 1A, I saw how professionally developed brand ads are. There is a lot to think about, and it helped me limit down and enhance my own approach. I noticed my classmates' distinct campaign concepts and how we as people develop them so differently but so alike.

Findings:

I'm looking forward to watching how my movement comes together. Campaigns do not happen by accident; they require careful planning and execution. The concept must be something you are enthusiastic about, otherwise it will fail miserably.
