Brand Concept: The Foundation for a Successful Brand Strategy

A brand concept is the core of a successful brand strategy. At CRENEO, the brand and design agency from Düsseldorf, the development of thoughtful and authentic brand concepts is the focus. The goal is to sustainably strengthen brands, sharpen their strategic direction, and align them with the needs of their target groups.

What is a brand concept?

A brand concept is a strategic plan that defines the fundamentals for positioning and communication of a brand. It includes essential aspects such as:

  • Brand Identity: Who are we as a brand?
  • Brand message: What are we communicating?
  • Brand Positioning: How do we stand out from the competition?
  • Target audience analysis: Who are our customers and what do they expect?


The goal of a brand concept is to create a coherent and credible brand perception that appeals emotionally and builds trust with the target groups.

Strategic development in the brand concept

The revised presentation shows the structure of an effective brand concept as a closely interlocking system. The focus is on the brand identity with vision, values, and mission – it forms the basis for all further steps. This is followed by brand positioning, which defines competition, benefits, and uniqueness. Based on this, the brand message is created, which brings together tone, storytelling, and core promises. The model is completed by a well-founded target group analysis that precisely captures expectations and needs.

CRENEO uses this structure as a practical tool for developing strong brands. It’s just one possible way – but one that creates clarity, offers strategic depth, and works especially well in combination with areas like brand strategy or brand language.
