Urban Icon®On Great Brand Storytelling

Brands without a storytelling model are merely message making.

Many brands today send out hundreds of messages annually that are not tied together into any cohesive story that differentiates the brand long term. Uncoordinated message making results in brand schizophrenia or mixed messages with (positive and negative) meanings. Brand schizophrenia hampers consistency and salience and makes it difficult to break-through the noise level with memorable brand positioning.

When brand storytelling works an emotional response is triggered in the audience.

There is a desperate need for real stories in the world today. People want to experience and feel magic moments as they go through their way in life. The brand storytelling challenge is to find new ways to express the emotions that the audience wants to feel or in some way already feels. URBAN ICON© is an expert at reading and understanding the positive side of urban youth culture and entertainment. We know how to curate, glorify and amplify the ‘good side’ of urban culture and attach that coolness to your brand

The art of advanced brand development has to do with attaching unique, strong and relevant associations and stories to your brand. Partnering with URBAN ICON© Brand Studio provides you with expert guidance, on-point strategy and brilliant creative to help you achieve that goal.
