So what actually is "branding"? 🤔 It's not your logo or colours. Your branding is your brand strategy, positioning, brand pillars, reasons for customers to believe in you as a solution to their problems, your tone of voice, and what they say about you when you're not in the room🩶

🧵 What is a Value Proposition & Why Does Your Web3 Brand Need One?👇 A "value prop" is your brand’s core promise. It's one of the foundational blocks of your brand strategy, and yet the vast majority of web3 projects skip over defining it (to their own peril and irrelevance). So what exactly is a value prop, and how do you get one? Read on! 🧵

7/ Let's consider a practical example to finish: ❌ “We are a decentralized identity platform.” ❌Jargony, generic, and undifferentiated. ✅ “We help Web3 users protect their privacy & verify credentials without sharing personal data.” ✅Specific, no bs, and immediately understandable.

What makes a web3 brand look credible? A great web3 brand doesn’t just look 🔥 — it builds trust. You need: ✅ A well defined value prop ✅ A clear explanation of the value you're bringing ✅ Cohesive team photos ✅ Clear calls to action ✅ Consistency across platforms

Most web3 projects aren't well differentiated. Don't make the same mistakes your competitors are, here's how👇 💡Remember, before you can stand out, you need to know *from what* - who else is in your space? 1️⃣Identify your competitors 🔹 Direct competitors (similar product & audience) 🔹 Indirect competitors (different product, but competing for attention) 2️⃣Analyze their brand 🔹What’s their visual identity? 🔹What’s their core messaging? 🔹What’s their tone of voice? (frendly, profesh?) 3️⃣ Find the gaps 🔹Where are they weak? 🔹What unique value can you offer they don't? 🔹How can you differentiate (offering, messaging, value)? 4️⃣Use insights to refine your brand positioning, visuals, messaging, value prop, and USPs Want to learn how to carry out step 4?

web3 moves fast, but trust is slow to build 😮‍💨A weak brand = lost credibility. Here’s why your brand might not be working (and how to fix it) ⬇️ 1️⃣ Poor Visual Identity Your logo, colors & typography look rushed? Users subconsciously assume the same about your product. Polish matters. 2️⃣ Confusing Brand Messaging If people don’t understand what you do in 10 seconds, they bounce. Clarity builds confidence. 3️⃣ No Consistency Your website, social media & pitch deck should tell a cohesive brand story. A fragmented look = a fragmented company. And not in a cute decentralized way. 4️⃣ No Social Proof Showcase testimonials, partnerships & community engagement. Trust is borrowed before it’s built. 5️⃣Templated website Chances are your project uses one of the major site building platforms; be sure to inject template modules with authentic design elements that reflect your brand to avoid looking like a dark-mode everything clone. ✨Fix these & your brand will stand out.
