Defining your brand

Differentiate yourself by highlighting your unique value and characteristics. A brand sets you apart from other advisors. It’s the combination of tangible and intangible elements that differentiate you, and let prospects know what to expect from you.

Components of a brand

  • Your purpose: The reasons why you do what you do, including your vision, mission, and value proposition.
  • Brand story: Your answer to the question, “what do you do”?
  • Visual identity: The look and feel of your marketing material.


Benefits of defining your brand

  • Set yourself apart: Defining a brand is like building a reputation. It highlights to prospects why you’re unique and what you stand for.
  • Attract ideal clients: Communicating your purpose helps clients easily identify if you’re someone they’d like to work with.
  • Increase marketing effectiveness: Having a central theme and message to your communications helps people understand, recognise, and remember you.
  • Create loyalty and trust: Stating what you’re all about acts as a promise to prospects and clients. Staying consistent in the way you present yourself and serve clients builds commitment. 

Defining your brand is an important exercise for all advisors. Often, hiring a professional marketing agency can be the most effective way to create brand. Consider full service agencies who can help you define your purpose, create a visual identity, and help you implement it into your practice.
