5 questions to develop your brand’s personality

Brands, like people, have personalities. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they are interesting, compelling or off-putting. They can be bland, boring and stale.

Your core audience may be young moms living in rural areas, teenagers who love online gaming, or boomers near retirement. Do you think each of those audiences wants some personality from you? Give it to them!
