Brand Your Way to Success

Knowing your target audience is essential for a cost-effective digital marketing strategy. If you don’t know who you’re trying to reach, you can’t know where to find them or how to communicate with them. This is where your market research skills come in (Good thing we covered this in previous sections).

01

Identifying Your Target Audience

A strong visual identity plays a significant role in how customers recognize and connect with your brand. This includes your logo, color scheme, fonts, and any imagery associated with your brand. Consistency is key—your visual identity should be immediately recognizable across all your marketing platforms.
