โฃ
In my time studying and working in marketing, Iโ€™ve seen the term โ€œbrand strategyโ€ get used in so many ways, oftentimes to the point of confusion. So, letโ€™s cut through the noise... To me, brand strategy is more than just a buzzwordโ€”itโ€™s the blueprint for how youโ€™ll connect with your audience in a way thatโ€™s real, purposeful, and impactful! โฃ
โฃ
At its core, brand strategy answers these essential questions:โฃ
โฃ
1. Who are we talking to?โฃ
2. What do we want them to know?โฃ
3. When should we engage?โฃ
4. Where do we meet them?โฃ
5. Why should they care?โฃ
6. How will you help them succeed?
โฃ
These questions guide every part of your brand, from the content you create to the ways you interact with clients and customers. And the answers arenโ€™t always simple, but theyโ€™re powerful. When you know who youโ€™re reaching and how to resonate with them, your brand becomes more than a logo or taglineโ€”it becomes a connection.โฃ
โฃ
For Ascend + myself, formulating a brand strategy is about creating that clear, repeatable language that feels authentic to you and your business. Itโ€™s about showing up with purpose and using a strategy that isnโ€™t just about growth, but about meaningful growth.โฃ
โฃ
If youโ€™re building your brand, ask yourself these questionsโ€”sometimes the simplest answers are the ones that unlock the most potential. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Our circadian rhythms aren't the only thing impacted by time change... even content performance can be affected. Because of the change in your audience's behavior (like staying out of the house longer in the evenings due to extended daylight hours), the most active times online for your audience are likely to change.
