One of these measures is looking for the prestigious Red & Yellow qualification. We find that these candidates are far more equipped not only on a skills level, but an interpersonal level as well.

The brand essence sums up the unique attributes of a brand and the basis for its emotional connection with customers. Remember that your emotional connection with your customer is the very thing that differentiates your brand from your competitors. Your brand essence should help to define a tone of voice for your label and the style in which it engages with its customers. The brand essence can be a useful guide for ensuring that the content you create (and your marketing activity) represents the brand appropriately. You can relate this to your brand story. What is your reason for being? How do you connect that with the interests of your customers? What is the value you add to your customers’ lives? Is it convenience, health, status?

Given the plethora of options, product or service attributes, pricing options, and payment choices available to the connected consumer today, competition is fierce. Only the most highly considered brands will succeed. To achieve this, brands need to offer customers value, and this relies on understanding consumer behaviour. No point of engagement with your brand occurs in isolation for your customer. Their life events, social pressures, and motivations impact their experience with your brand.
