BRAND TAGLINE

What is a Tagline and how does it fit into your company’s Brand Identity?

Taglines influence consumer’s buying behavior by evoking an emotional response. A tagline is a short phrase that captures a company’s brand essence, personality, and positioning, and distinguishes the company from its competitors.

A tagline is not to be confused with a slogan – the latter is used in advertising and therefore products and services, whereas a tagline applies to a company name only. Both nevertheless should inspire, yet a slogan aims to inspire action whereas a tagline will more likely inspire emotions. Jeffrey R. Immelt, CEO of the American company General Electric inspiringly states that “for GE, ‘imagination at work is more than a slogan or a tagline. It is a reason for being”.

A cross-section of internationally renowned taglines using different approaches

*     Nike – Just do it
*     Apple -Think different
*     Toshiba – Don’t copy. Lead.

*     Philips – Sense and sensibility
*     Target – Expect more. Pay less.

Superlative: Positions the company as best in class
*     BMW – The ultimate driving machine
*     Lufthansa – There’s no better way to fly
