5 Key Attributes to Build an Effective Communication Strategy

Companies like Mercedes-Benz and Coca-Cola use excellent communications strategies to demonstrate their unique selling points which in turn, successfully attract their target consumers. Mercedes-Benz communicates luxury and offers personalised experiences for high-end customers and Coca Cola showcases their youthful spirit and consciousness through marketing campaigns and sustainability initiatives.  

Here are some key attributes that will help you elevate brand communication: 

Define Your Brand Voice 

The tone of voice that you carry defines your brand persona. Seek out a character or a public figure that you could attribute to your brand and create a consistent archetype. Determine whether your voice will be playful, authoritative, confident, or even empathetic. You can use this brand voice across many communication channels consistently.  

Determine Your Target Audience 

Identify the groups you want to target and your existing audience first. Get insights into interests, purchasing patterns, and demographics. This will help you create buyer personas that are appropriate and map out the customer’s journey. For instance, if Gen Z customers are your target market, you might want to steer clear of traditional print advertisements and instead concentrate on digital channels like Tiktok. 

Personalise Consumer Journeys 

In the awareness creation stage, create content that introduces your product or service with simplicity. Then, develop multimedia strategies where you can highlight differentiating factors. Once you’ve onboarded the customer to the purchase stage, share content like testimonials to reaffirm their trust. Lastly, encourage customers to participate in two-way communication by providing feedback and recommending other offerings. Remember, driving long-term loyalty is key.  

Compelling Messaging 

Use storytelling techniques, imagery and storyboards to reinforce your brand story. The key here is to understand the desires and preferences of your target audience, articulate your USPs through an array of techniques whilst ensuring that your brand story remains constant across all touchpoints.  

Utilise KPIs 

A communication strategy that resonates is not just about creativity, it’s about a potent mix of metrics, useful data and originality altogether. Use metrics like bounce rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates as KPIs to measure your brand communication efforts. Hone the skill of A/B testing and experiment visually or through different forms of content.
