The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding
1. EXPANSION |
12. THE GENERIC |
|
| 2. CONTRACTION A brand becomes stronger when you narrow its focus |
13. THE COMPANY Brands are brands. Companies are companies. There is a difference |
|
| 3. PUBLICITY The birth of a brand is achieved with publicity, not advertising |
14. SUBBRANDS What branding builds, subbranding can destroy |
|
| 4. ADVERTISING Once born, a brand needs advertising to stay healthy |
15. SIBLINGS There is a time and a place to launch a second brand |
|
| 5.THE WORD A brand should strive to own a word in the mind of the consumer |
16. SHAPE A brand's logotype should be designed to fit the eyes. Both eyes. |
|
| 6.CREDENTIALS The crucial ingredient in the success of any brand is its claim to authenticity |
17. COLOR A brand should use a color that is the opposite of its major competitor's |
|
| 7. QUALITY Quality is important, but brands are not built on quality alone |
18. BORDERS There are no barriers to global branding. A brand should know no borders. |
|
| 8. THE CATEGORY A leading brand should promote the cateogry, not the brand |
19. CONSISTENCY A brand is not built overnight. Success is measured in decades, not years. |
|
| 9. THE NAME In the long run a brand is nothing more htan a name. |
20. CHANGE Brands can be changed, but only infrequently and only very carefully |
|
| 10. EXTENSIONS The easiest way to destroy a brand is to put its name on everything |
21. MORTALITY No brand will live forever. Euthanasia is often the best solution |
|
| 11. FELLOWSHIP In order to build the category, a brand should welcome other brands |
22. SINGULARITY The most important aspect of a brand is its single-mindedness |
