16 Components of a Killer Brand Strategy

Inspired by an infographic created by @innerdrive.co.uk.

What makes a killer Brand Strategy?
🗡
I've been asking myself this a lot recently, working on a lot of branding projects during my 9-5 and this set of #nudenotes have been a great guide to creating something awesome.
🗡
A brand isn't just a logo, or a set of colours it's more about the way it makes you feel in your bones.
🗡
Yes, all those elements help build that feeling but it's NOT the most important thing.
🗡
They are the egg shell, not the yoke!
