You can\u2019t be everything to everyone, so knowing who your brand is not, is also helpful in guiding the life of the brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to developing a brand for their clients, hoola takes a \u2018business leads brand\u2019 approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one is going to spend money if they aren\u2019t going to make money from it; business and brand need to work together closely to create real value and success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo understand and support the business goals through the brand, we as an agency place great emphasis on listening to our clients in order to gain a deeper understanding of what their actual needs are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Van Breda highlights the agency\u2019s focus on \u201creally listening\u201d to clients as a major differentiating factor between hoola and other agencies. The insights gained through those conversations empower them as an agency to develop a solid foundation for a brand, which is key for consistency and strengthening the brand equity, and therefore, the client\u2019s business in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a brand to market for the first time can be a daunting prospect. However, Van Breda believed that hoola\u2019s brand development process allowed their clients to feel confident in the work they have produced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know a brand is ready to launch when it\u2019s been based on thorough research and testing, and it clearly stands out amongst others without overlapping, because it looks, sounds and feels fresh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd, of course, when clients get goosebumps, dance around the boardroom with joy or shout \u201cYES!\u201d when we reveal their new brand \u2013 we know we\u2019ve got a winner!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For help with your brand, or to find out more about hoola, be sure to visit their website, hoola.agency.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/developing-the-blueprint-for-your-brand-a-must-for-success\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Head of Strategy at hoola Modern Agency, Jadine van Breda, having a strong blueprint is key for any brand and its long-term business success.
