Ready, set, go! In a sentence or two, sum up:
- Your area of expertise (or your or your business’s unique value proposition)
- How the above addresses a pain point or benefits your target market
Challenging, isn‘t it? There are so many things you could say. How do you wrap them up neatly into a concise but complete business or personal brand statement?
A branding statement generator can help you pare down the information you want to share. But before we get into which generators are worth trying, let‘s see a few examples of crystal clear brand statements.
3 brand statement examples you can learn from
You can only tell a good branding statement generator from a bad one when you know what strong brand statements look like. So, here are three great examples.
StoryBrand
Since we're talking about branding, why not start with an example from branding thought leader Donald Miller of Building a StoryBrand fame? StoryBrand‘s brand statement is simple: "Clarify your message." Or, you may occasionally see the longer version, "Clarify your message so more customers engage."
This example focuses heavily on the offer (“help to clarify your message”). And on the benefit you‘ll get out of receiving this help (“more customer engagement”).
Jonathan Stark
Next is a personal brand statement example from Jonathan Stark, whose entire brand centers on the idea that trading time for money is a losing game. Jonathan‘s brand statement is: "I teach experts how to make more money without working more hours."
Why does it work? It points to something the audience wants—instructions on earning more without working more. And the mention of teaching experts alludes to the idea that Jonathan has a higher level of expertise than most on this subject and will give more than surface-level tips.
Kate Toon
Kate toon is an award-winning entrepreneur and expert in search engine optimization (SEO) and copywriting. Her website gives a good example of a longer, more descriptive personal brand statement. Kate sums up her strong personal brand this way: "I’m here to help you build a successful, profitable, enjoyable business. Using smart, creative, simple digital marketing tactics."
This works for several reasons. "I'm here to help you" plants the seed of what feels like a personal, beneficial relationship with Kate. The goal of building a successful business that you don't hate is clear. And it's also no secret how Kate plans to help you reach that goal.
Those three elements are a good formula for brands of all sorts. That includes professionals looking to optimize their LinkedIn profiles or websites, attract more recruiters, or land more interviews during a job search!
How to write a powerful branding statement
Writing a powerful branding statement may sound like a tall task, but in reality, it’s not so bad. In fact, it can be quite simple if you follow certain guidelines and put some thought into it. Of course, you could always rely on a branding statement generator, but if you were doing things manually, here’s how it’s done:
- Identify your target audience: Understand who you are trying to reach with your personal brand. Knowing your audience will help you tailor your message to resonate with them effectively. Are you targeting potential employers, clients, or industry colleagues?
- Define your unique value proposition: Determine what sets you apart from others in your field. Highlight your strengths, skills, and experiences that make you valuable to your target audience.
- Craft a concise and compelling message: Create a clear and impactful statement that communicates who you are, what you do, and how you can help your audience. Keep it simple yet powerful to make a lasting impression.
- Use language that resonates with your audience: Tailor your message to speak directly to the needs and desires of your target audience. Use words and phrases that connect with them on a personal level.
- Test and refine your statement: Experiment with different versions of your branding statement to see which resonates best with your audience. Solicit feedback from peers or mentors to fine-tune your message for maximum impact.
By following these steps, you can craft a powerful branding statement that effectively communicates your personal brand and resonates with your target audience. Alternatively, if you used tools to generate your branding statement, you could use this as a checklist to edit the output from an AI tool like Jasper.
3 branding statement generators worth trying
Now that we‘ve seen some good brand statements, let‘s see what tool can help you write one just as good.
Jasper
Our own artificial intelligence tool Jasper is definitely worth a mention. There are several ways Jasper can help you write brand statements.
For example, in our long-form content creator, you can write a few details about your personal or business brand in a long-form document and command Jasper to turn them into a brand statement. (Commands are written in plain English, as you can see below, and executed with CTRL or CMD + Shift + Enter.)
And here’s the output we got from this command:
"Empowering brands through the power of TikTok, we connect businesses with a dynamic network of over 10,000 influencers, driving over $113 million in sales since January 2022."
Alternatively, you could use the Unique Value Proposition template to create a concise statement that speaks to the benefits of what you offer. Enter a description of your brand and a tone of voice. Jasper will take it from there.
You can then edit or combine the unique value props to your liking.
Here’s some examples of outputs we got from this template:
- Unlock your website's full potential with cutting-edge CRO tactics from a top consultant. Increase conversions by up to 400% and leave your competition in the dust.
- Elevate your conversions and skyrocket your success with advanced CRO tactics from one of the world's top consultants. Increase conversion rates by up to 400% and join the ranks of Fortune 500 companies who have seen massive growth through my expertise.
