How do you want your brand to be perceived? Sure, you may have a fancy logo, but your brand is more than that. Depending on the audience you would like to target, you may want to portray your brand as caring, fun, innovative, knowledgeable etc. These feelings need to be created in the content you post, so that consumers can also feel those emotions while looking at your brand. Create lasting impressions with your audience so that they feel special, and not just like any other consumer. When you grow these relationships, the image behind your company grows to new levels where trust is built. Sure, there may be another brand offering the exact same product or service, but what is making the consumer stick with your brand? The quality of the relationship that you have built with them!

An ad simply shows what you can offer, but having a genuine connection with your customers is what influences them to believe in your brand.
