The final 20% of your brand identity is what actually sticks with people. Everything else is noise. This video breaks down the 80/20 rule for branding and what that crucial 20% really is.
It's the last 20% that defines whether you have a brand or not, whether the rest of that 80% is actually a brand. And the last 20% is, did you build this identity into the very fabric of everything you do? If you think about it all the way to the end of who am I? What kind of behaviors do I do? What are the accents around my brand? That's when people start to notice everything. Before that, people don't notice your brand because you just exist and nothing more than that. And it's really that last 20%, as opposed to the first 20, that are the brands that we remember that they thought of. You know, the way the box opens on the iPhone. Right. All of that was just extra thinking that no one else thought mattered. And yet, turns out it matters more than everything else.
