Distinctive Brand Assets: Building & Measuring

The productive tension

Visualandverbal brand assets

The synthesis

Most brand asset discussions focus on visual elements (logo, colour, character). But verbal assets (tagline, sonic logo, naming conventions) are equally important and often underinvested. The strongest brands have both visual AND verbal distinctiveness. A brand that is recognised only through its visual assets is half-equipped. A brand that owns both visual and verbal territory is twice as hard to dislodge from memory.

Learning objectives

  • Define distinctive brand assets and their role in brand building
  • Identify the full range of brand asset types (visual, verbal, sonic)
  • Explain Romaniuk's Distinctive Asset Grid
  • Apply asset measurement methodology to a brand
