A brand strategy is one of the most significant components of the company’s success. It is the foundation on which further company evolution is settled. It also tells exactly what the brand is, for whom it was created and what steps need to be taken to grow. The Ohmybrand experts will formulate an effective branding strategy for your business, which will help you create a successfully working brand.
What is a brand strategy for?
A brand strategy carefully worked out allows to:
- identify the target audience, values, and philosophy of the company;
- increase sales;
- form long-term consumer loyalty;
- stand out from your competitors;
- occupy a new niche or get into a new market;
- allocate a budget for effective development;
- revive interest of the audience and regain market share of the brand represented on the market.
The Ohmybrand professional team implements the project in several stages:
1. Auditing of the Market Environment
We select the most suitable market niche, study the market conditions and competitors carefully, i.e. the strategies they use and the assortment they present. Also, we conduct marketing research: we identify the target audience, their needs and “pains”, and all possible ways of making decisions. At this stage, the foundation of the brand positioning strategy is laid.
2. Creating Hypotheses
Based on the results of the research carried out we evolve assumptions about the main positioning idea of the business. We define a unique trade offer (USP), company’s main objectives and goals, as well as possible brand development options.
3. Research and Hypotheses Presentation
Firstly, we analyze every single proposed hypothesis carefully, then discuss them with you and ask which of them accord with your own brand vision and perceptions, we identify the weakest ideas and options difficult to implement to reject them. We sieve the ideas unless we agree on the one that works best and that can become the cornerstone of your business strategy.
4. Create of the Brand USP
We study the resources, the potential of the company, and the product features thoroughly; we examine the demand level in the group of the target audience. We emphasize the main idea of brand positioning; according to the main idea we create capacious and effective arguments persuading customers to purchase your product.
5. Identification of the Philosophy, Mission, Values, and Brand Positioning
We delve into your company’s history. Being attentive to our customers’ wishes, we get into the idea of your product. We find creative and accurate images that reflect the essence of the brand.

We think through some basic principles of communication with your target audience and partners.

After that, we sort out the received options several times and select the ones that accord with the brand platform and check the registration availability for them. Then we present the titles potentially appropriate for registration providing you with the arguments why we consider them good. In collaboration with you, we choose the option that reflects the values, philosophy, and unique features of the product.

Besides, we find rewarding combinations that convey business values properly and become memorable for your potential consumers.
