It is hard to find someone who doesn't know about the tech giant with the half-eaten fruit logo. For sure, a picture that comes into your mind while reading about the insignia of half-eaten fruit is 'Apple.'

 

But how did their products become so popular? How did they build such a strong brand image? 

 

Let's find the answers by looking at a few crucial moments of Apple's branding journey.

 

1976 (The beginning of Apple): Apple started with the basic and open computers popularly known as Apple I. At that time marketing strategies were used to convince people on the basis of technical features, which Apple used very intelligently to grow itself.

 

1980: After the failure of initial marketing campaigns, Apple launched monomyths like '1984'. It showed how Anya major (personified macintosh) will help get freedom and superiority and break social conformity. This commercial explained how revolutionary the new technology of Apple was and how people can benefit from it.

1997- 2002: Apple made campaigns to connect the people with stories and deliver a strong message of core values — innovation and simplicity. It launched its game-changing campaign that used 'think different' as its tagline. The tagline can now be seen on the back of Apple products that are full of optimism.

 

2002-2022: ‘Think different’ ad campaign worked as a guide for further ad developments. Later on, slogans like "The future is here" "Wildly innovative" and "More to love, less to pay" becomes public. Nowadays, Apple is using ‘Think Different — But Not Too Different’ as its tagline. 

 

To develop a brand like Apple, you need a framework for your branding strategy. And to craft a long-term branding strategy, you need to understand its building blocks. So let us explore those first.

 

9 Key Elements of Brand Strategy Framework

 

For developing a brand strategy, you need to define the following nine elements:

  1. Brand purpose: Finding a purpose for your brand is the most important part of the brand strategy framework. It defines why you are in this business.
  2. Brand vision: It will navigate your brand in the right direction and help in long-term decision-making. Be bold with your vision to motivate your team, and keep it realistic as well.
  3. Brand values: These are the driving forces and the core of your brand. Values will determine your place in the market that will reflect in your decisions.
  4. Target audience(TA): This is the beginning of the brand positioning. You need to decide and understand the ideal audience, demographics, behavioral patterns, emotions, decision-making, etc.  
  5. Market analysis: Analyze the market to find gaps. Also, knowing your competitors' strength and weakness are necessary. Develop unique and remarkable products to stand out. 
  6. Awareness: Find the ways to spread awareness about your brand. Select channels and plan strategies or campaigns for each channel based on your target audience(TA). Don't forget to allocate a budget for each campaign or channel. 
  7. Brand personality: "Humanize" your brand by giving it a personality. It will help the audience to connect easily with your brand and build a long-term relationship.
  8. Brand voice: A brand without a voice is similar to a person without a say. Therefore, decide on a tone of voice (formal, friendly, innovative, and more) as per your TA and brand personality. Also, keep it consistent across every channel.
  9. Brand tagline: Give a tagline to your brand which suits its personality. It should be such that your brand's picture comes to their mind whenever the audience hears it or vice versa. Like how James bond says, "martini, shaken not stirred."
