Why Your Internet Marketing Hinges On Having a Solid Brand

February 9, 2025 By Team 99

Brand Strategy Digital Marketing
When it comes to internet marketing, many people end up missing the forest for the trees. We’re repeatedly told how effective it is to run email marketing campaigns, to flood the net with content, to run ads but what we’re not told nearly so often is just how important it is to have a strong brand and a real purpose for existing.

Everyone knows the difference between a spam site and a site that offers real value.

And you also know that the sites that offer real value are the ones that do the best on Google. Big sites like Mashable, Buzzfeed, Forbes, The New York Times… these aren’t spam sites that flood the web with content and keywords. These are big brands that provide real value and that have real authority.

If you want to get to that point, then you need to create a brand of your own that resonates with your ideal clients and can gain the trust of your audience and of Google.

Why Brand Matters In Digital Marketing NinetyNine Media

Where Does a Brand Start?

A brand is not a logo and a brand is not a website. Your brand is your ‘mission statement’ and your ‘value proposition’. A brand is a commitment to a certain standard and a reason for existing.

Your brand needs to be unique and it needs to be exciting and cohesive. If you get this right, then it will make all the difference when it comes to your marketing.

Think about something like Amanda Steinberg’s Daily Worth. This is a website with a very clear reason to exist that is communicated very loudly and effectively throughout the entire site. It’s not just there to make money, it’s there to preach a message and to help women manage their financial and business lives.

This mission informs every smaller decision across the site. Everything from the logo to the content is selling the same idea with clarity, and this helps site visitors know they’re in the right place.

Know Your Audience

If you’ve got the message right, it immediately communicates to the visitor whether they want to be there or not.

If you search for ‘How To Manage My Money,’ ‘Charge What You’re Worth,’ and you find Daily Worth, then you instantly know what the site is about and what kind of content you can expect from it. That single difference then means that you will be considerable more likely to sign up if it’s something that you’re interested in.

What’s more, is that you’ll know there aren’t that many sites exactly like this one out there. It’s a modern take on an interesting topic and for the right visitor, it will have an instant appeal.

The power of a strong brand goes well beyond fit with your audience. It helps you to be more recognizable across different social media platforms, it will make your visitors more loyal (they’ll feel like they’re joining a movement) and it will mean that potential partners take your brand more seriously.
