Introduction: Why Personality Matters
Every business has a personality, whether you define it or not. Customers pick up on it through your logo, your website, your tone of voice, and even how you answer emails.
If your brand personality is unclear, your design will feel inconsistent. That is why defining brand personality is the key to better design.
What Is Brand Personality?
Brand personality is the set of human traits your business expresses. It could be:
- Friendly and approachable
- Bold and confident
- Professional and trustworthy
- Innovative and forward-thinking
Defining this personality helps guide design choices.
Why Ontario Businesses Need This
