Brand Messaging is your brand’s set of go-to instructions for words and messages, tone and style that you can use to articulate the essence of your brand to customers.
In other words, it’s the principles according to which your brand communicates and engages with customers – and the best way to bring these together is by developing your own unique Brand Messaging guidelines.
