Platforms like TikTok, Meta, and LinkedIn are still strong—but competition is increasing, and reach is becoming harder to achieve at sustainable cost levels. For marketing leaders in Sweden (and other mature markets), the question is no longer whether to test new channels, but which ones are worth the investment. This guide helps you prioritize based on where attention is actually shifting. What are “new social platforms” in marketing? New social platforms are channels where user growth outpaces advertising and content competition—resulting in higher organic reach at a lower cost per impression.

Summary Most companies build their brand backwards. They start with the logo. Then the colors. Then a bit of tone of voice. And only later – sometimes years later – do they begin thinking about the strategy behind the brand. The problem is that almost all marketing becomes harder – and significantly more expensive – when the foundation is missing. In this article, we walk through five things that most companies later realize they should have done differently when building a new brand. This is not about design. It’s about brand strategy, marketing strategy, and a more structured approach to building a brand that actually lasts. What is brand strategy? Brand strategy is the foundation for how a company should be perceived by its target audience and how it should differentiate itself from competitors. It defines the target audience, positioning, messaging, tone of voice, and visual guidelines so that all communication remains consistent over time. A clear strategy ensures that marketing, design, and content work in the same direction, instead of becoming a collection of disconnected initiatives. A strong brand platform creates structure for everything from campaigns to content production and design systems. When do you need a clear brand-building strategy? Every brand benefits from it, but it becomes especially important when: Without a clear strategy, the result is often: In other words: scaling becomes almost impossible at a reasonable cost. 1. We would start with positioning—not design The most common mistake is starting with visual elements. Logos, colors, and typography are important—but without positioning they lack direction, and the result is often wrong. Instead, the process should begin with questions like: A simple model: Question Example Target audience Growing SaaS companies Problem Marketing lacks capacity Solution A flexible creative partner Differentiation Fast delivery + integrated team This is the core of brand strategy. Design should ideally come after this step—once you understand how the brand needs to look to attract the right audience. 2. We would define the target audience much more narrowly Many companies say: “Our target audience is companies that want to grow.” That is not a target audience. A better brand-building strategy defines: Example: “Marketing leads at scale-ups who need to produce more marketing without hiring more people.” The clearer the target audience is, the easier it becomes to create: 3. We would build a system—not just a brand A modern brand is not just a visual identity. It is a system. This system typically includes: When these elements exist, marketing becomes far more efficient and scalable—not just through automation or generative AI. Instead of reinventing the wheel every time, teams can scale production without losing the brand or its core messaging. This is also why many companies today work with integrated teams and structured processes to make marketing actually function in practice. 4. We would connect the brand more clearly to the business There is a classic internal conflict that most marketers have experienced at some point: Brand vs. performance. But in reality, the two must work together. A good marketing strategy answers questions such as: Strong brand strategy: In short: brand is not fluff—it is infrastructure for marketing, including effective performance marketing. 5. We would optimize for speed instead of perfection This is perhaps the most important lesson. Many companies spend too long working on strategy before launching anything. But in reality, the most valuable insights come from: A better way to work is: Brand strategy is therefore not a document. It is an ongoing and highly iterative process. Common mistakes in brand strategy Here are some of the most common issues we’ve seen when working with hundreds of marketing organizations over the years: The common denominator is almost always the same: Lack of structure, organization, ownership, and willingness to take risks. Without these, it is very difficult to build a strong brand. A simple brand strategy template If you want to start simple, a strategy can include: 1. Positioning 2. Messaging 3. Tone of voice 4. Visual identity 5. Content strategy This type of framework makes marketing repeatable and scalable, and forms a strong foundation for effective marketing operations. When is it time to evolve your brand strategy? Typical trigger points include: In these situations, it is often better to revisit the brand fundamentals first before increasing marketing production. Summary If we started a brand from scratch today, we would: This not only creates a stronger brand—it also makes marketing far easier to scale. Want to develop a clearer brand strategy? A common challenge for many marketing teams is that a strategy exists—but it doesn’t work in practice. That is why many companies today work with a more integrated model where strategy, content, and production are closely connected.
