BRANDisam

SERVING THE COMMUNITY WITH CREATIVITY, BUSINESS, TRAINING & TECHNOLOGY

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CREATIVITY, BUSINESS, TRAINING, AND TECHNOLOGY JOIN TOGETHER?
In the year 2020, Mr Siju Rajan and Mr Jeevan Uthaman identified a connection between those 4 elements. That led to the formation of BRANDisam. In the light of vast experience in Business consultation by Siju and the Training experience of Jeevan, they found that even though entrepreneurs from Kerala are highly educated and efficient in running business. But they lack basic awareness and understanding about the brand-building process. This is the main reason for not finding international brands from Kerala.

Many are confused that Branding means creating a beautiful logo or a website and many others misunderstand that by doing Trademark registration alone, the brand-building process is completed. Then, BRANDisam began providing them with assistance and education. Later on, the company developed by itself in entrepreneurship development with a holistic approach. This step, at that point of time, brought fruitful results and during the period of professional service, BRANDisam has built their trust among its clients post serving them well.

THE PYRAMID CONCEPT
With the motive to clear the doubts and define the word ‘Brand’ better, the team of BRANDisam has come up with a concept called ‘BRANDisam Pyramid’, that showcases the path on which a trade name moves, to become a brand name. BRANDisam strictly follows this throughout the branding process. As per the company, the branding or brand-building process deals with 5 stages.

Stage 1
Foundation stage
Creating a unique identity for the rest of the business’s life is the first stage in the BRANDisam pyramid. Unique identity should be created by keenly observing the market and customers. ‘Make it once and keep it always’ is the central rule of the foundation stage. It includes the brand’s visual identity, verbal identity, brand positioning strategy and brand’s core culture.

Stage 2
Visible stage
The identity is meant to be registered in the mind of customers. To get registered, it must be shown to them in the appropriate channel, at the appropriate time and in the appropriate quantity. This should be done after observing the market, customer’s demography and competitor’s strategy. This is the stage of marketing.

Stage 3
Register stage
The result from the visible stage will get reflected in the register stage. People will identify a product when they see, feel and use it regularly. The distance from the visible stage and register stage depends on how effectively we use the marketing tools

Stage 4
Trust stage
It is the most crucial stage in the brandisam pyramid. People identify products when we regularly bring attention through different strategies. But to turn it into a brand, people should feel trust in it. It is a time-consuming process where we need to continuously touch the emotions of customers like love, care, greed and so on.

Stage 5
Leverage stage
Here in this stage, the name works 24*7 without anyone’s interference. It will leverage itself and become a brand.

BRANDisam was formally incorporated in the year 2021 and started 3 divisions of its. The branding, training and research, and research divisions.

FOR THE BUDDING ONES
It is always good to learn from the experience of others, be it a short experience or a long one. Jeevan says, “Reading several business success stories can inspire you. On the other hand, instead of following others, focus on developing your idea that matches your passion and skills. Identify the audience that suits you the best or which goes with your passion and skills. And then, serve them the best.”

“Continuous learning, commitment towards your clients, and consistency will give you business success. If not soon, not even far”, he adds.

EASY TO LAUNCH, HARD TO LEAD
It is easy for anyone to launch a company but it is very hard to lead the company and to grow as a brand. The foundation and consistency play a vital role in branding. Therefore, do not forget to invest more time of yours in laying the foundation.
