Why Strong Brand Messaging Matters (and How to Get It Right)

At our design and marketing agency, we’re often asked: Why is brand messaging so important? To dig into this, we recently recorded a podcast with our CEO, Lisa Lavis, and Head of Creative, Lisa Barnett — and trust us, this is a topic we’re passionate about!

Here’s a quick rundown of why strong brand messaging matters and how to approach it.

1. It Grabs Attention
Your brand message is often the first impression people get of your business. A clear, compelling message helps you stand out in a crowded market and makes people stop and notice you.

2. It Defines What Makes You Different
Your brand message isn’t just about what you do — it’s about who you are. It tells people why you’re different, what you stand for, and why they should choose you over the competition. As Lisa Barnett shared, people don’t just buy your services — they buy into your personality, your values, and the way you deliver.

3. It Builds Trust and Loyalty
When your audience understands what you’re about, they’re more likely to trust you. A consistent, authentic message builds emotional connections and encourages people to stick with you over time — which ultimately helps drive sales.

4. It Needs to Be Simple and Consistent
Crafting a great brand message takes work. We start by digging into a company’s background, values, and long-term vision. Then we test different approaches — and, crucially, we strip everything back. The goal? A short, punchy message that sticks in people’s minds.

But it doesn’t stop there. Once you’ve nailed your message, you need to weave it through everything you do — from your website to your social posts, brochures, marketing campaigns, and even podcasts like ours. That “silver thread” of consistency is what really brings a brand to life.
