5 Reasons Your Content Branding Should Have a Personality
Think about what your customers would like from you. In fact, think about what you like from brands if you’re the customer.
Do you prefer having a product pushed at you? Or would you prefer to create a connection?
That’s what content branding is all about. It’s the difference between branding vs. advertising.
It’s about personality!
Why Content Branding Needs a Personality
Content Creation That Has Personality Builds Trust
When you get to know someone, you start to trust them, right? And that’s when a bond starts to form. It works the same way with content branding. If your brand builds rapport with customers, they’re a lot more likely to relate to you.
Brands that dig deep with their content creation to build an emotional connection can become a valuable resource. In turn, you build customer’s loyalty and trust towards your brand.
It’s Nice to Know the Face Behind the Brand
How frustrating can it be dealing with someone via email, never getting to meet in person? Then one day you do meet. Once you put a face to the name it’s as though you get a better understanding of their character. And how satisfying is it knowing who you’re dealing with?
Quality content creation and content branding can provoke the same reaction.
Content marketing without a personality is boring. By injecting a personality that resonates with your customers, you start to build that trust.
Content Marketing Becomes More than Just a Product
Here’s another difference between branding vs. advertising: if you have the ability to connect with your customers on an emotional level, they’ll be hooked on your brand for life. Essentially, you need to have a personality if you want to stand head and shoulders above your competitors.
Which Leads Us to a Tighter Community
Once you’ve formed a solid relationship, you’ve created the backbone of your own community. Quality content creation will work to band your community together.
Content Branding Speaks to the Heart
Once you’ve injected personality into your content creation – via honesty, personality and humor – you’re in a better position to speak to the heart of your customers.

If it wasn’t for her special charm she wouldn’t have become as big a hit as she is. In fact, her personality has helped her to become an influencer and she has several brands in her local country riding her wave of success.
Go Forth and Have Fun with Content Creation
Building a personality for your content branding should be a fun process. Don’t be scared to create a charismatic persona that will interact with customers and get them smiling.
Just be wary of crossing over into offensive territory when you add a little wit to your content marketing.
