We've spent a lot of time together talking about branding, and it's been a real treat (at least we think so).

Do You Know Your Style? Brand Guidelines & Establishing Consistency

Posted by Alexa Audet on Jun 30, 2020 1:30:00 PM

 

There's an old saying in marketing called The Rule of 7. Discovered by former advertising executives of the 1930s, the Rule of 7 is the average number of times a person must be exposed to your messaging before taking any action.

For this to happen, your brand needs to be consistent across various topics, no matter the location or situation.
