Identifying and Solving Problems
To effectively build a brand, it is crucial to identify a specific problem that one solves. People tend to value products, services, and brands that directly address their issues, and failing to clarify this can lead to audiences overlooking offerings. By positioning oneself as the solution to a real and relatable problem, brands can become significantly more appealing. For example, a chef who identifies the lack of family dinners and healthy meals wins more clients by stating their purpose, as opposed to another chef who merely describes their cooking skills.
