Branding
In keeping with “How to Add Inspiration and Aspiration to Your Brand – Part 1,” today’s post (Part 2) focuses on the second important feature of a strong brand - aspiration.
When you listen to the presidential debates and town halls, have any of the candidates shared their visionary objectives for America? These are their aspirations - policy positions in this case.
Dictionary.com’s definition of “aspiration” as it pertains to this topic:
- a strong desire, longing, or aim; ambition
- a goal or objective that is strongly desired
Of course, having aspirations is standard fare for political candidates. In order to win elections, they must share and market these aspirations to voters in inspiring ways.

So, how does “aspiration” apply to businesses or organizations?
A new year, a fresh start, and an entire calendar waiting to be filled with exciting marketing, branding, and customer experience campaigns.
May 2016 bring you much success!
