Building a Legacy Brand
How to Create a Lasting Impact on the World
Have you considered the impact you are making through your business?
Does it drive every decision you make? Do you clearly know what opportunity or client to say yes (or no) to? Are you known for something?
This is how legacies are made.
Businesses are created and disappear in the blink of an eye – which means building a legacy brand is more important than ever.
In this blog post, I will explore what legacy branding is, how to intentionally create one, and why it's important for founders who want to leave a lasting impact on the world.
What is Legacy Branding?
A legacy brand is typically defined as a long-standing business with a great reputation. One that is a leader in its field with well-known and high-quality products or services and visible signs of success.
We see it as SO much more. We believe a legacy brand is built on what you stand for, what you believe and why you do what you do. It’s the PROMISE you make to the world and the value and impact you desire to leave behind. This desire DRIVES everything you do – and how you do it. And we help you get there.
How to Create a Legacy Brand?
A legacy brand is not built overnight but is the result of years of hard work, dedication, and a clear vision for the future. Creating a legacy brand requires a clear understanding of your values and purpose. You need to know what you stand for and what impact you want to make in the world. Here are some steps to follow when creating a legacy brand:
Define Your Purpose
Your purpose is the reason why your brand exists, it is the driving force behind everything you do. Define your purpose and make sure it is aligned with your desires and beliefs.
Build a Strong Foundation
Your brand needs a strong foundation to stand on, otherwise it will crumble. This foundation includes your brand essence (tagline) and brand position, key differentiator, features and benefits and customer psychographics.
Consistency is Key
A legacy brand is built on consistency. Your brand should be consistent in everything you do, from your communication to your messaging, photography and visual identity.
Focus on Quality
You need to deliver more than just table stakes (the bare minimum). High-quality products or services delivered consistently, build trust and credibility with your customers.
Be Authentic
Find your zone of genius and stay true to yourself. Don’t follow what others are doing in your industry, forge your own path. You’ll attract more of the right clients…and have fun in the process.
Why is Legacy Branding Important?
A legacy brand is not just about making money; it's about being a trusted business or person that has a positive impact on society.
For founders, change-makers, and thought leaders, creating a legacy brand is essential. It enables you to leave a lasting impact on the world will be remembered long after you're gone.
