Top Three Ways to Enhance YOUR Branding Campaign Each Year

Ronald Reagan’s 1984 Presidential run for re-election is generally considered the most effective political brand campaign ever because of its simple, optimistic message, “It’s morning again in America”. This phrase was used both as a literal statement and to refer to the improved economic situation in the United States. When a political candidate runs for any government position, there is a need to build a brand, but what if it is the second or third time around? How do you change up your branding campaign year to year without losing its core identity?

In a year when charitable giving is low and ambitions for fundraising is high, there is a need to increase brand awareness for your campaign. In order to stimulate awareness for your campaign, you need to re-brand each year so past and future guests look forward to attending.

Whether you are branding for a political campaign or have a marketing initiative that needs a makeover, here are three tips that are sure to amp up your next brand campaign:

1. Be Consistent
Even though you may feel the need to go for a complete new look, it is important to stay consistent with your logo usage, fonts, graphics and color palette.

2. Re-Invent
It is time to think out-of-the-box. Stay relevant with your target audience and remember to keep things fresh.

3. Create a Visual Hierarchy
Keep in mind that most people don’t read marketing material. Create visuals that get the point across FAST!
