10 Proven Ways to Boost Your Brand Awareness

Building strong brand awareness is crucial for any business. It not only helps attract customers, it sets out your stall as an employer - and also sets you apart from the competition. 

‘Brand awareness’ is also known as ‘top-of-funnel marketing’ (TOFU). Sometimes, in a more corporate setting, it is referred to as ‘external marketing communications.’ It’s a series of integrated marketing communications efforts that create awareness about a brand, its offering, and all that the brand encompasses. 

Strategies to Help You Create a Lasting Impression on Your Target Audience

Optimise Your Website

Ensure your website is user-friendly, visually appealing, and informative. It should convey your brand’s message and value proposition.
