Your brand has some personality and it needs to be showcased.

In day 6 of the branding challenge video Emelina Spinelli of d.science will show you some examples of where your brand can add some personality.

Than you would love other people who snowboard, rock-climb, do yoga, meditate, watch movies, and make pop culture jokes.

The challenge for you today is to put a little personality in your brand.  This can be in a video, website, social medias, or marketing copy.  If you need a brand personality example check out Zappos customer service email.

Maybe your corporate job would never allow you to handle an email like this.  Fair enough, but all the small businesses can have a lot more fun.  Why not right, that is why we got into business.

Here is another hint… don’t say your brand is “Professional, the best, or expert.” Let me translate what those brand personalities mean to your audience…..BORING and SNOOZEVILL

One of the easiest ways to add some personality is to use common phrases you use every day. I love using pop culture references, I am a huge geek and proud of it.
