The Importance of Understanding Brand Identity

Defining a brand's identity requires more than just listing adjectives to describe it, as interpretations can vary significantly among team members. Instead of simply stating that a brand should be 'friendly' or 'modern', a more effective approach is to explore the underlying vibes and meanings these words hold for different individuals. It is crucial to facilitate discussions that clarify what these terms signify collectively, which can often lead to a better understanding of the brand's essence. This depth of discussion can help designers and teams move beyond superficial descriptors and instead identify the core characteristics that truly resonate.
