A brand’s job is to drive business results while staying memorable, engaging, and worth talking about.


Branding isn’t just about colours or logos, it’s a business tool. It’s a strategy packaged with personality.

Many businesses mistake branding for design. The truth? Branding must create business value, and it must be interesting enough to get noticed.

If your brand doesn’t generate value, it’s just decoration. If it doesn’t stand out, it gets ignored. Ignored brands don’t grow.


What “Business Value” Really Means: Branding works when it:• Attracts ideal customers• Builds instant trust• Commands premium pricing• Reduces churn• Inspires employees• Unlocks partnerships

It makes you visible, trusted, and remembered, driving sales and loyalty.

 Here’s the Catch:Value without interest fails. The world ignores boring brands. Great brands deliver value in unforgettable ways.

Fevicol (India): Sticky and UnmissableFevicol doesn’t just sell glue, it entertains with timeless, witty ads. It’s trusted because it’s loved.

Oatly (Global): Oat Milk With AttitudeOatly turned a basic product into a bold, funny, standout brand, growing from niche to IPO.


How to Win Both Value and Interest:

  1. Be boldly yourself, find a strong voice.

  2. Speak simply, no jargon.

  3. Connect with culture, not just campaigns.

  4. Turn dull into delightful, every brand can be interesting.


Founder Check:• Is your brand easy to remember?• Can people describe it in one line?• Would they recognize your tone without your logo?

If not, it’s more than a creative gap; it’s a growth risk.


Final Thought:Your brand’s job isn’t just to look good; it’s to drive business results by standing out.

Smart brands build trust. Great brands do it with personality. In crowded markets, you can’t afford to be boring.
