Digital marketing is always evolving and that means that businesses need to evolve with it. The strategies that worked a year ago, for example, may not work now. While it’s normal for things to change, we are experiencing things at a much faster pace because of technological and cultural changes that have come about because of AI. Yet, even without technology shaping our future, the evolutions could still occur. Even something outside of marketing or business, such as the economy, can change what works for digital marketing.
This means that we need to anchor our marketing efforts into a few foundational elements, because these are the things that will never change and will always work. Our brand’s authority is one of these concepts. No matter what is changing about digital marketing, this will always be a constant. Here are some thoughts about this.
Stronger Branding Protects You From Uncertainty
Foundational items like brand authority will be relevant no matter what. That is exactly why stronger branding can protect you from uncertainty. Each time something changes, such as best practices for digital marketing or your audience’s buying behavior, leaning on the fundamentals can create stability needed to navigate the things that have changed.
What would this look like for your branding? Lean into building your brand authority. When your audience already trusts you, they elevate you as a credible expert. This means that any disruptions, such as algorithm changes, trend shifts, and changing behavior, becomes far less destabilizing. You have a core identity that isn’t dependent on any one platform.
Consistency is now an asset, because consistent messaging, consistent value, and consistent positioning reinforce your authority even as the environment changes. In a lot of ways, consistency is what creates your brand’s strength.
Authority Builds Trust Across Digital Touchpoints
Yes, part of being an authority is about being well known. However, that is only one part of it. It is also about building trust. When your audience sees you as a leader, then your digital marketing becomes more effective. This translates to emails getting higher engagement, social posts carrying more weight, people spending more time on your website, and more.
Trust grows over time and once you have people’s trusts, eventually they will consider you when it’s time to make a purchase. That’s because trust turns even the most casual of browsers into people who are now “bought in” to accepting you as an expert. They become subscribers, first time customers, and maybe event transitions into long term customers.
This only works if you are present across multiple digital spaces. You need to do all the foundational items, including maintaining your website, having a social media presence, and more. The more places you are, the better you can display yourself as an authority.
As you can see, strengthening your brand authority is worthwhile. It improves your customers’ perceptions of you. It transitions you from “another business” to a business with a product or service that really aligns with people. Your brand authority creates an anchor that strengthens your digital marketing as a whole.
