In order for brands to thrive and evolve in the 21st century, it is essential that they follow a few ‘rules’. Here are some of the factors that are responsible for sustainable brand success:
A brand should have a set of core values that drives them. When brand associate them with a cause, it gives consumers something bigger to look up to. This will allow brands to tell an engaging story of their association with a cause.
While most brands and businesses are mostly concerned with profit, it is essential to work to conserve the planet as well. However, the damage we’ve done is a result of the adoption of a unsustainable model of conducting business. It is important to cultivate respect, fairness and giving back, to nature and others.
When limitations become stumbling blocks, look at it as an opportunity to get creative. When sustainable brands meet limitations by turning to alternative methods, a new creative process is born.
The world of advertising is also going through a shift. Apart from selling a story to ensure a product is sold, it also lays bare real facts pertaining to a brand. Because everything is connected through social media, when brands misbehave, consumers are quick to point out their flaws. It is imperative that a brand is transparent in order to connect with consumers.
A company needs to know the kind of story it wants to convey to its consumers. Sustainable brands should have a distinct point of view before they tell their story. If the story has a human element, it will pave the way for authentic conversation.
