‘Brand’ vs ‘Branding’

Understanding the difference between your "brand" and "branding" is essential information for anyone who wants to build a successful business.

Brand: What People Say About You When You're Not Around

When you're not around, your brand is what people say about you, your product, or your service. It's the feeling people get when they think about what you offer. When you're not around, your brand is what other people say about you. This shows that your brand lives in people's minds, shaped by their experiences and what they think you do.

Branding: How You Tell Your Story

Branding is how you influence what people say and feel about your brand. It's the effort to shape your story and how people see you. Through branding, you tell your story in a way that connects with your audience and reflects what you stand for. It's about being consistent in your message, whether through your logo, your website, or how you interact on social media. Branding is the set of tools we use to build and share your brand's personality.

...the truth about brand and branding is that success does not demand
human perfection or even human extraordinariness. What it
demands is the application of certain principles and practices.
— Simon Middleton, The Brand Strategy Guru
