Finding Your Avatar

Who are you and how do others SEE YOU?

As a Graphic Designer, ‘Brand’ reaches far beyond personal branding style or your company branding appearance in the market. What we are talking about here is how your customers see you and your company from a value standpoint. This is where you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself the hard questions about customer perception and being true to who you are and what you stand for in your business and to commit to providing value to your customers and to your community. This is where you draw the line, become polarizing and attract your dream customers to you and turn off people who are not your dream clients.

What is your USP (Unique Selling Proposition)
Why should anyone want to work with you?

Now that you have defined your avatar and have dug deep into your brand, it is time to figure out how you are going to leverage what you learned and use it to stand out from the crowd. The key is to have a clear USP that you highlight when communicating with your
customers, with your business partners and your vendors. It is not just what separates you from the crowd, it makes your brand memorable in the eyes of your dream customer. When your dream customer thinks about what you need that aligns with what you offer, you want them to immediately recall your brand and think about your company as the solution to their problems.
