The Six Key Elements of Brand Identity

What is Brand Identity and why is it important? It may be a little different than you think. In this video, our guest instructor, James Martin (aka Made By James), is going to look at the key elements of Brand Identity, and why it is so useful in positioning both yourself, and a client in the best possible way. Because, as Sasha Strauss say's "If you don't position yourself, you will be positioned!".

    Jingles are AS important as visual ID, you KNOW what brand it is even with your eyes closed

    I agree. Graphic designers tend to prioritise their part of brand identity but I’ve found that any of that elements that express the brand identity can be useful. I haven’t had a logo for 4 years and my business has done just fine.

    Hi, amazing video, I am a music producer that has some skills in graphics and a I attended a basic academic marketing course. I'd love to work on helping brands and companies who are perfecting their strategies and contents. Yet I have no idea where to start looking for work. I know that being freelance is a thing, but I do that in my music career and that's enough. What type of companies should I try to get in contact with to propose myself as an all round creative with focus on musical abilitilies? Thank youu

    The diagrams are confusing. You call the first one "What it isn't" (isn't is misspelled btw) but then you include brand identity in there. In the next one, where you describe what brand identity is, you include visual identity but not logo which you had nested as a box in your first diagram. Not trying to troll. Just trying to be helpful because people need precise understanding around these key concepts.
