We tend to come closer to companies that exhibit human-like characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look at it this way: do you prefer to communicate with a robot or a human? You&#8217;d probably choose the latter. But what if the robot&#8217;s almost human-like, from head to toe? You wouldn&#8217;t see the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Case in point, brands with human-like characteristics have a higher chance of attracting audiences. No one wants to converse with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/whatis.techtarget.com\/definition\/uncanny-valley\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spooky robot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, anyway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9629 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/UNCANNY-VALLEY.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"835\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/UNCANNY-VALLEY.jpg 835w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/UNCANNY-VALLEY-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/UNCANNY-VALLEY-768x453.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Especially not this robot. Geez! Halloween came early.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the question is: How do you create a brand identity with human traits? Here are a few tips on how to do so!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"1\">Build A Friendly Face<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s easy to create a brand personality, but it&#8217;s hard to keep it intact. Start by building a friendly face that can attract all kinds of people! Here are a few factors that might help:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An identity that&#8217;s easy to remember works best.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give your brand a personality that&#8217;s full of passion and creativity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prove to your customers that you can be on the same level as them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s start with your brand personality. What&#8217;s your line of work? Who&#8217;s your target audience? Consider these two questions as they&#8217;re essential for building a brand personality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your line of work should determine what kind of voice you&#8217;ll exhibit. For example, if you&#8217;re in the fast-food industry, then you have to create a voice that&#8217;s friendly and casual. On the other hand, if you&#8217;re managing a fancy restaurant, then you have to be more formal and professional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for your target audience, this is where you have to build a personality related to specific people. Establish a voice that will resonate with your target audience so your customers can relate with your business even more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2\">Next Step? Visuals<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you plan the kind of voice your business needs to showcase, the next step is to design your personality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since words and voice will make up for your personality, designing it should consist of colours, logos, and other visuals. Believe it or not, colours can make a difference, regardless of your preference. Some colours can make you feel happy, while others are sad or gloomy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that said, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with using sad colours; it&#8217;s all about matching the right colours with your brand personality! Here are some colours and their associated emotions:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Red<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Anger, passion<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Blue <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Sadness, calmness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Yellow <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Cowardice, happiness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Grey <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Loneliness, stoicism<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>White <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Shock, coldness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Pink <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Love, cheeriness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Green <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Envy, greed, disgust<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9632 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/COLOURS.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"835\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/COLOURS.png 835w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/COLOURS-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/COLOURS-768x461.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While these are the emotions that are associated with their respective colours, how they&#8217;ll mean to your audience is up to you. The key is to know which colours put together to build a unique brand personality!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3\">No Need To Innovate<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s important to build a friendly-face that&#8217;s unique or original, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you need to invent a brand new identity. You must understand that there&#8217;s a framework for different types of consumers, which is up to you on how you can relate to your target market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rarely do businesses succeed by inventing something new and original. It&#8217;s because most people probably don&#8217;t relate to their brand identity. As such, you must build a brand identity that&#8217;s familiar to your audience, but original enough to stand out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some factors that your customers should relate to:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Comedy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Everyone likes to hear a good joke once in a while, as long as it&#8217;s easily understandable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Culture <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Most people grow up in different cultures. Discover the culture of your target audience and take advantage of it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Love <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; We all need someone to love. Anyone can relate to love, so you can produce heartwarming content to make your business seem genuine and down to Earth!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4\">Create A Character<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In video games, players like to create a character that represents them in different ways. Some players like to create a character to represent them in real life, while others want to create a representation of who they want to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same goes for your brand. If you want to complete your brand personality, give it a face as well! Like how <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">McDonald&#8217;s<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has a clown and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burger King <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has a literal king, your business could use a friendly face!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9631 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BK-VS-MCDO.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"835\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BK-VS-MCDO.jpg 835w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BK-VS-MCDO-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BK-VS-MCDO-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use a real-life person to represent your company (like a celebrity or famous person) or create a mascot out of scratch.
