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

Imperative: Commands action and usually starts with a verb
*     Nike – Just do it
*     Apple -Think different
*     Toshiba – Don’t copy. Lead.

Descriptive: Describes the service, product, or brand promise
*     Philips – Sense and sensibility
*     Target – Expect more. Pay less.
*     MSNBC – The whole picture

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

Provocative: Thought-provoking; frequently a question
*     Microsoft – Where are you going today?
*     Mercedes-Benz – What makes a symbol endure?
*     Dairy Council – Got milk?
