What is the Core Identity of a Brand?

The core identity, as defined by David Aaker, is the central, timeless essence of a brand. It represents the fundamental attributes and values that remain constant as the brand expands into new markets and product categories. This core identity serves as the foundation, while the extended identity includes additional elements that complement and build upon the core.

It requires strategic alignment of all brand elements to deliver a consistent, compelling experience. We can help you achieve this.
