Your brand is messy.

And – it’s not your fault

The human brain has seven slots of short-term memory (give or take two slots) at any given time.

The job in branding is to grab just ONE slot – and print it to long-term memory.

The biological phenomenon is the reason we can’t remember what we had for lunch last Thursday – or the dozens of billboards we pass.

The brain is just too busy.

Even more reason to keep you branding message – simple.

You can only be known for ONE thing (Maybe two).

IBM – Computers

Starbucks – Coffee

Stanley Steamer – Carpet Cleaning

Although they ALL offer much more.

You are not alone in your field.

Your message needs to hit harder – and faster than your competition.

So, THEY hear it.

ONE message – ONE shot to differentiate.

Audit your logos, messages – everything.

De-clutter your brand – and a clean message will follow.
