Becoming a Genuine and Visible Brand
Lesson 3
For your third lesson, we are going to help you deliver a brand promise with clear next right steps that will move you closer to achieving your goals.
When I started Catalyst Church Creative, I did not all of a sudden "arrive". It took several years under our belt in order for our audience to trust us as an authority in our space.
In early 2019, we changed things up a bit. With a redeveloped website, better level of support, and growing client base who had more demands that required a more focused set of skills, we reworked our brand promise to the following: "Catalyst Church Creative is your team of trusted digital experts who specialize in growing churches through highly engaging brands and websites with top-shelf coaching and consulting." From our brand promise (which is prominent on our homepage), you can assume the following:
- We are a team.
- We are digital experts.
- We specialize in four areas.
Notice that we don't pretend to be all things to all people. We focus on what we are good at, and if you need something that is out of our expertise, we will pass you off to differently capable hands.
How does this translate to you?
You need to develop a brand where you promises ring true. The wisdom and experience we spoke on in lesson two will need to translate into real world on-the-ground practical next right steps for your audience. If someone can look at you or hear your name in a crowd, and immediately know what you are about, then you will know that you are winning the brand battle.
