You might have heard people discussing their brand strategy and the elements that take part in making strategy documents like brand Identity and marketing. But they neglect the core idea behind it which is brand concepts. In reality, a brand doesn't have a direction and purpose without a clear concept.
Think of the branding process as a Project Runway where the winning designers have a distinct point of view rich with ideas for inspiration. Similarly, a successful brand also has a clear brand concept that reflects the identity and message in a true sense. Without a well defined concept, there is a high risk that your brand will blend into the background noise of the market.
Just as a fashion designer's inspiration guides their design, a brand concept directs its strategy in the middle of creative possibilities. So, it serves as the guiding force behind the brand strategy, identity, and communication efforts.

What is a brand concept?
A brand concept is the core idea or feeling that represents the purpose and objectives of a company. It's what sets the brand apart from others while conveying its uniqueness and attracting consumers. It is the idea upon which a brand and business are built. You can also think of it as a plot of land for building a house. Just as the house needs a sturdy foundation, a brand's strategy also needs a clear concept to build upon.
Consider it as the soul of a brand which gives it its identity and personality. For example, Disney's concept revolves around magic and timeless stories and Apple's is about simplicity, innovation, and user centric design.
Here are some famous brands with their brand concepts from where you can get a slight idea about how they communicate their feelings with the target audience.
Starbucks - Community gathering, quality coffee for a personalized experience.
Tesla - Sustainability and cutting edge technology to revolutionize transportation.
Google - Innovation and accessibility to organize the information of the world.
Red Bull - Energy to adventure and push the limits
FedEx - Reliability, speed, and global connectivity.
Before building a brand concept, marketers need to indulge in brand positioning, consumer insights, and the goals of the company. This is all done to distil information into clear and concise ideas that match the target audience.

A detailed and comprehensive visual branding is developed while focusing on this approach.
These brand concepts also support the creation of a dynamic and compelling brand story. With its development, a narrative naturally emerges to be woven into the visuals of the brand.

How to build a brand concept?
Brand Concepts emerge organically during the brand strategy process. They can stem from recurring themes and ideas elaborated by clients or through a synthesis of similar ideas. The ultimate goal is to build concepts that are clear, impactful, and enduring to inspire internal and external clients.
Once a brand concept is built, brand designers translate it into unique visual expressions. These expressions can take various forms such as designs and drawings. Here is the step-by-step guide on how to create brand concepts.
Assess your brand's position
Start the process with some background research on the current situation of the brand by conducting a market analysis. To do this, create a brand positioning map. This map will help you understand where your brand stands in relation to your target audience and competitors. Here are a few questions you can keep in mind to assess the position.
Who is your target audience?
What products and services do you provide?
Why are you providing certain products or services?
What does your target audience achieve through these products and services?
You can revisit some of the competitor brands to get ideas from their concepts.
Review audience persona
Revisit and review the audience persona by understanding their pain points, desires, and needs. Make sure your brand concept perfectly aligns with your target audience so they can put their trust in you.
Over time, these ideas and audiences will change, and it'll be your responsibility to keep updating your persona on a regular basis to stay ahead of the curve.
To create a clear target audience profile, there are several key factors that need to be considered. These include age, gender, occupation, place of residence, annual income, and family members. Understanding the audience's hopes, worries, values, and lifestyle is also important.
Brainstorm values and missions
Spend some time brainstorming by surrounding yourself with the right people. You can get help from mind mapping tools and software to visually represent your ideas to those people.
You will need to identify the value proposition of your brand. You must focus on ways to determine what differentiates your brand from competitors and the value it provides.
Articulate brand concept with a brand story
Once you have identified the values, start with creating a brand story. Storytelling is an important part of a brand concept as it elaborates what your brand tells.
This story should create an emotional bond with the brand that people can relate to. There should be a clear depiction of where your brand stands in terms of sustainability, quality, and innovation.
Other things you can tell in your brand story include identity and motivation to engage people with your brand and take action. Use the target image, values, and story to articulate brand concepts. Try to keep it simple, single sentences that are easy to grasp and remember.
Note: Avoid using catchy advertising taglines but focus on direct and simple ways to communicate your brand's identity and values.
Review, refine, and test the concept
After creating a brand concept, review and refine it to establish a solid foundation. Focus on the choice of words and time because they will influence how your brand is perceived. Reevaluate the concept to ensure it resonates with the identity.
You can use words and expressions that evoke a sense of familiarity. Share it with people and get their feedback to get ideas from their thoughts and impressions.
Before you finalize the concept, test it by involving the target audience in surveys, informal discussions, and focus groups. Once done with this part, document each part of your brand concept as a reference point for future brand-related activities.
Implement it
Implement your brand concept into your company's product design, marketing, operations, communication, and customer service. Make sure that every member of your company is well versed in the brand concept so that every department and area reflects the brand's values and image.
