Get on the Brand Wagon

You Actually Took Our Advice and Conducted a Brand Audit?

Gulp, are you OK? Did you survive the brand audit? Did you emerge unscathed, or did you discover that your brand’s font choice was secretly plotting against you in Comic Sans? Fear not, intrepid brand explorer! Buckle up, because we’re about to embark on a wild ride through the zany world of #brandpersonalities.

Meet the “Board of Directors of Awesomeness”

Imagine your brand audit feedback as a report card from your brand’s very own “Board of Directors of Awesomeness”—a quirky group of fictional characters who moonlight as brand consultants. Let’s introduce them, shall we?

1. Captain Creative: The swashbuckling hero of your brand. Captain Creative wears a cape made of Pantone swatches and wields a magic wand that turns dull taglines into epic battle cries. Their motto: “Innovate or walk the plank!”
2. Detail-Oriented Diva: The meticulous guardian of consistency. Diva scrutinizes every pixel, kerning, and comma. They once spent three hours debating whether the brand logo should tilt 0.5 degrees to the left or the right. Their mantra: “Perfection is in the pixels.”
3. Voice of Reason: The level-headed diplomat. This character keeps the chaos in check. When Captain Creative suggests rebranding as a pirate-themed bakery, the Voice of Reason steps in with, “Maybe let’s stick to our core values instead?”
4. Cheerleader Extraordinaire: The eternal optimist. Picture pom-poms, glitter, and a megaphone. This character’s job is to rally everyone. “Go team brand! We’ve got this!” they shout, even when the quarterly sales report looks like a Picasso painting.

The Great Debate: Bold Changes vs. Incremental Improvements

Now, envision these characters gathered around a comically oversized conference table. The debate begins:

• Captain Creative: “Avast, ye landlubbers! Let’s ditch our logo and replace it with a dancing narwhal. Trust me, it’ll go viral!”
• Detail-Oriented Diva: “Hold your seahorses, Captain! We must adjust the kerning on the ‘g’ in ‘tagline.’ It’s crucial for brand harmony.”
• Voice of Reason: “Perhaps we could compromise? How about a narwhal-themed tagline?”
• Cheerleader Extraordinaire: “Narwhals, kerning, or both—let’s do this! Rah-rah!”

The Sensible vs. the Downright Wacky

As the debate rages on, each character presents their case:

• Captain Creative shares a PowerPoint presentation titled “Rebranding: From Boring to Bootylicious.”
• Detail-Oriented Diva unveils a spreadsheet comparing serif and sans-serif fonts, complete with pie charts.
• The Voice of Reason suggests a focus group with actual narwhals (because why not?).
• Cheerleader Extraordinaire choreographs a brand dance-off to settle disputes.

The Grand Finale: The Hilarious Group Hug

In the end, chaos reigns supreme. But fear not! As the dust settles, our quirky board members come together in a hilarious group hug. They remind you that while #brandstrategy is serious business, a good sense of humor can save the day. After all, even the most critical feedback is just another opportunity to unleash your brand’s unique personality and creativity.

So, dear brand adventurer, go forth! Embrace the absurdity, tweak the kerning, and remember: When life hands you lemons, make a brand-new font called “Lemonade Sans.” 🍋🤪
