The Best Brand Message Is A Conversation Starter
BRAND MESSAGE DEVELOPMENT
The primary purpose of brand strategy for private schools is to cut through the clutter and cause best-fit families to want to find out more. It’s a conversation starter not a portrait of everything you do well. That’s TMI, and nobody will listen.
Mission and Brand Are Not The Same
A mission statement is too complicated to be a brand and was written for a different purpose. It describes the educational philosophy and objectives of your school. The many benefits to one's child are implied. A best-practice brand explicitly states one key benefit—one that is most important to prospective families.
But of all the benefits your school offers and all the benefits that a family looks for, which one should be the conversation starter?
