You’ve just been asked to help bring your company’s brand into the 21st Century. Yipee? People with backgrounds in Marketing, Advertising and PR know it’s not always as fun as it sounds. Especially when the process involves asking the same old branding questions that result in the same old non-distinct answers.

But help is here. Take a look at these five questions and see if you can answer them for your company. (Even if you can’t you’ll look like a genius presenting them)

1. Purpose: What would we be if we were a movement instead of a business?

2. Principles: What will we always do and what will we never do? (“A principle isn’t a principle until it costs you money.” Bill Bernbach)

3. Positioning: What about us is authentic, exclusive, and mesmerizing?

4. Processes: What does the way we operate say about us?

5. Place: What does the way we look say about us (offline and online)?

Granted, it’s a little weird. But it works. We adapted it a few years back from a great guy, Tim Williams, and his book Take a Stand For Your Brand.
