Building breakthrough brands

Ani Fonte’s brand building recipe for stopping shoppers in their tracks.

November 18th, 2024

Ani Fonte, Head of Business and Brand Leadership at Betty, a Quad agency, says a successful product launch is made up of four components.

  • A compelling product story
    This isn’t just about a nice logo or catchy tagline; it’s about defining your product’s unique selling proposition. What makes it special? How does it bring new value to consumers or contribute to the community? A well-defined product story sets your brand apart and creates a meaningful connection with your audience.

  • Breakthrough creative
    Secondly, Fonte says your content needs to be highly versatile to fit an omnichannel strategy—one that spans social media, bus shelters, online ads and in-store displays. Your brand creative should grab attention wherever consumers encounter it, stopping them in their tracks and leaving a lasting impression.

  • Smart partnership
    Partnering with the right media experts is Fonte’s third piece of advice for beginner brands. A well-rounded media partner will help you create a holistic plan that blends online and offline engagement, maximizing your brand’s visibility across all touchpoints.

  • And finally, data and analytics play a key role in optimizing your strategy. Keep a pulse on trends, track what’s working and continually refine your approach to stay competitive. With the right brand creative, a good omnichannel strategy and a focus on data, your brand can make a lasting impact.
