What Is Brand Personality?

Well, to put it simply, brand personality is

the collection of characteristics with which your brand is expressed in the market.

The goal of developing and expressing a brand personality is to make your brand more relatable, more likable and ultimately more human.

All brand managers need to deliver messages to their audience to express what the brand is about and give them a reason to choose their brand over their competitors’ brands.

Although “what” messages each brand put out into the market is critical, “how” these messages are put out is becoming increasingly important.

Why Is Brand Personality So Effective?

As people, we’re all different. We like different things, we appreciate different music, we live different lives and we have different goals.

These characteristics are what make us both human and unique.

There is no one person in the world exactly like us because the combination of our characteristics, preferences, fears, desires and behaviours are unique to us.

Not only do we use these characteristics to display our uniqueness, we also read the characteristics of others to make decisions about whether or not we like them.

People with the same or similar characteristics often are attracted to the same things while people with completely different characteristics are often attracted to different things.

We use our understanding of these characteristics to make decisions about who we keep in our lives and who we don’t.

That’s why you and your best friend share so many interests (or rather, your friends’ characteristics are why they’re your best friend).

We find characteristics in almost everything and we make subconscious decisions as to whether to keep them in our lives or not.

Just as we do this with the people in our lives, we also do it with the brands in our lives.
