The Rulebook
Don’t just play the marketing game, rule it!
What is The Rulebook?
- What type of brand your business is. We call this your “Brand Voice”
- Who your ideal customers are. We call this your “Tribe”
Why Should I Care?
Have you ever been in a situation where you showed up to the party and didn’t know anyone there, or what the theme was? Yeah… that’s the same kind of feeling you get when you try to market your business but don’t know what your brand voice is, or who your target audience really is.
The purpose behind the Rulebook is to be the guiding force behind all your branding and marketing endeavors.
When you know who you are (i.e. Your Voice), who your customers are (i.e. Your Tribe), everything else seems to just fall into place.
So, why is the Rulebook important? Because the best businesses are the ones that know themselves and their customers, and that’s what the Rulebook helps solve.
Learn Your Voice
Learning your voice is the first step to better branding and marketing.
Learn Your Tribe
Learning who your audience is the next step in making your marketing more impactful.
Or, skip all the 💩 and get started.
Know Your Brand’s Voice
When it comes to human or animal voices they have unique characteristics about them that help us distinguish a single voice in the midst of a crowd. We apply this very principle to branding. We believe that in a market filled with look-a-likes your business with stand out if it has a better voice than the rest.
Where do these “voices” come from?
Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in the 1800s who founded analytical psychology. Jung’s work was influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, and religious studies. Jung worked as a research scientist at the famous Burghölzli hospital, under Eugen Bleuler.
