In 2007, I noticed Twitter in a BIG WAY! ? I saw Twitter pop up and realized social media was the future of marketing and mass adoption was inevitable. ? Not many believed me at the time.

By 2008 I had created my first social media agency called “Social Media Sean”. From there, the rest is history filled with learning every day! ?? Seriously though, Twitter has always been my go-to platform as I learned about others!

I have worked as a social media and digital marketing manager with many companies, throughout my 15+ years. ? Always keeping my finger on the pulse of upcoming software and platforms!

Last year my company went through a transformation and emerged onto the scene as: “@IntelBlaze Smart Marketing”! ? Here to help ignite your ideas and passions beyond just social!

Q2 What are the components of a brand and what makes a good brand story?

This is how you see your brand and how you want others to view your brand. ? The culture as a company and the people that work for your brand is the true part of your brand.

There’s the community and how your community sees your brand, how they feel about your brand, what they say about your brand.

It’s important to measure, notice, and listen to all those different areas.?Then create your brand that serves all the needs you identify. That you KNOW you CAN do the BEST in the ways that you can do it!

What makes a good brand story consists of your product is one that people can identify with, relate to, and connect with. ? That captures a moment or moments of time!

It’s what led to the epiphany of your creation… the wonderful inception of your brand!

An ideal brand story is that you know it SOOOOO well when you can write about it as if it happened yesterday! ✍️ You talk about it and you know all about it, inside out! Lastly, you live it and breathe it every moment!

What makes a good brand story consists of your product being one that people can identify with, relate to, and connect with. ? That captures a moment or moments of time! And PASSION!!

Q3 What are some branding fundamentals of a memorable and trusted brand?

One main branding fundamental to make your brand better is by making your visual simple and easy to remember!

Keep it simple, yes keep it simple oh and Keep it SIMPLE! ? KISS = Keep It Simple Simple

To help be trustworthy, check your consistency. Have your brand look and be consistent!

The look of your brand on all the different platforms, websites, or media, copy, tone, writing and speech all need CONSISTENCY! ???? Consistency builds trust!

Repetition is better than inconsistency! ✅ It’s more important that you repeat yourself, as long as you are consistent! Again, It’s more important that you repeat yourself, as long as you are consistent!

Q5 What are your favorite branding tools?

Your brain ? , your eyeballs ? , your hands ?? , your breath ?, your ability to express yourself are all my favourite branding tools!

Whatever tools you’re most comfortable working with to create outstanding social audio, ? video/visual ? content for your brand!

For example, when making graphics, make sure you have an original vectorized logo so they may be enlarged for print signage properly.

Tools like @Canva & the @adobecreativecloud would be my best brand recommendation tools. ✅ Also using @SproutSocial is another great tool for getting your posts out to all of the platforms in a unified way!

Host live events, promote a newsletter, your website, have a blog, make some videos!! ?? So many methods to choose from and that’s just a few!

Remember CONSISTENCY of belief will overcome anything! ???? Stick with your core values and share them often!!!
