All you need to know about branding are these three buckets. When you have fulfilled all of them you are done. You have a brand, a strong brand.
Bucket 1
Your employees are in the first bucket. Your brand is an inspiration to them.
Bucket 2
Your customers goes to the second bucket. Your brand is a promise to your customers.
Bucket 3
The third bucket is for the brand owners. Your brand is a profitable investment to its owners.
