Branding like the big guys

 

Golden Arches…

What did you think about? When you read those two words, what was top of mind?

You most likely thought about McDonald’s, but why? Because McDonald’s has established itself; it has developed such brand awareness that one simply has to talk about arches for them to be noticed & thought of.  This is the same for some of the most popular brands in the world, like Nike and their infamous “swoosh”.  It is important to note that huge corporations have millions of dollars invested in their advertising and marketing efforts. But here are a few tools that you can use that are much more cost-efficient:
