In a world where data forms the foundation for the most successful marketing strategies, performance branding is the linchpin that ensures analytics inform everything – down to the very root of a brand.
What happens when you combine the artistry and storytelling capabilities of a creative with the KPI-driven, statistical expertise of a data analyst? You get performance branding…the best of both worlds.
Performance marketing is the love child of brand identity and a closely-monitored KPI strategy. As romantic as that sounds, it’s also very efficient.
Traditional branding focuses on building aesthetically pleasing creative and emotionally-driven positioning.
Performance branding evolved with the rise of data-driven marketing, meaning that a company's brand creative and messaging are held to the same analytical standards as a website, advertisement, social platform, etc.
We typically think of creatives and analysts as being at the furthest ends of the spectrum from one another. One is an artist capturing emotion, and the other is a scientist unraveling a universe of statistics. Art is conceptual and freewheeling, while science is factual and constrained.
But – and we’re speaking from experience – when you combine the two, the result is a masterclass in high performance.
As marketing continues to hurtle into the digital landscape, pairing your storytelling and your performance metrics can put your creative assets in hyperdrive. It’s not about changing your story to make a sale and shifting with the sand. Instead, it’s about using hard data to tell your story, effectively reaching and communicating with your audience… and making a measurable impact.
