Build a Memorable Brand and Connect Deeply with Consumers Using Branded Content

In a saturated market, branded content can catapult your brand over competitors. A recognizable brand creates a space in the market that is yours and yours alone.

Branded content, or brand content, can be an extremely valuable asset in a content marketing strategy. When people know that your values align with theirs, you set yourself up for loyal customers and fans.

What Is Branded Content?

Branded content promotes your brand’s values with stories that connect with the consumer. Sound confusing? Let’s break down the core characteristics of branded content.

  • Branded content focuses on values instead of a product or service. The point of this type of content is to show the target audience that you align with their own values.
  • Branded content provides value to the audience. They should actually want to consume it. This is very unlike traditional advertising. Consumers often see regular ads as a hurdle between themselves and the content they really want to see.
  • Branded content drives brand awareness and sparks conversation. This is in contrast with marketing strategies that seek to directly drive sales. Thus, the key performance indicators for a branded content campaign are usually mentions. 
  • Branded content connects to consumers on an emotional level. People don’t always make decisions rationally, based on things like quality and price. They often purchase from brands that resonate with them personally.

Brand stories can be communicated in many ways. A blog post, social media update, YouTube video, or even user generated content can be branded. It’s less about the medium and more about the approach.

Why Is Branding Important?

“Brands are essentially patterns of familiarity, meaning, fondness, and reassurance that exist in the minds of people.” 

Tom Goodwin

With branding, you’re associating your company with certain values and emotions. This makes your brand memorable in the minds of consumers, greatly increasing brand awareness. 

Branding also improves your positioning, differentiating you from competitors by communicating what makes you unique.

High quality branding permeates every other sphere of your company’s operations. It can drive brand awareness, engagement, lead generation, consumer loyalty, and so much more.
