5 Ways to Improve Brand Awareness
Spin Creative • June 29, 2021
Great brand awareness is a goal every business strives to achieve. The more people who know about and your brand, the more potential customers you have in the world.
Obviously, not every brand can be as well-known as Apple or Nike, but there are plenty of creative ways you can get people’s attention. The more potential customers you engage, and the more they trust your brand, the more likely they’ll become customers for life. Here’s how to improve your own brand awareness.
1. Create a solid brand identity:
The sheer amount of marketing and advertising we see on a daily basis is astounding. Not only does that make it easy for your message to get lost in the crowd, but many consumers are perpetually “on guard” as a result. One way to break through this is to create a “personality” for your brand, then use that to shape your brand’s narrative. Know your brand’s likes and dislikes, values and quirks to create a rock-solid identity. This encourages people to “get to know” your brand better, as if they were making a friend.
2. Sincerely connect with customers:
If you want to create customers for life, you need to connect with them beyond trying to sell them something. It may sound counterintuitive, but getting to know your customers is the key to them getting to know your brand. Use your social media to ask them questions, foster discussion and learn more about their wants, needs and values. Connected customers are more likely to share your brand with the people they know!
3. Create free and “freemium” content:
Offering free and “freemium” content is a great way to improve brand awareness. This content positions your brand as a trusted source for information, entertainment and even free tools and gives potential customers a tantalizing taste. If they like what you offer, they’ll likely come back for more. Don’t forget to ask for email addresses and demographic info whenever feasible to collect leads!
4. Make it easy for people to share your content:
Word-of-mouth advertising is one of the most powerful tools at your disposal. If you’re not making your content easily sharable, you’re missing out on the chance to go viral (in a good way). People are far more likely to listen to someone they trust, whether it’s a favorite influencer or their best friend. When others share your content, it functions as a powerful endorsement. Don’t deter people by making it hard to share your stuff.
5. Share your brand’s story:
Every brand has a story, a history and a set of values behind it. If you want to increase awareness, take that story and share it with the world! Creating a brand story video
checks all the boxes for awareness—it tells customers who you are, is engaging and is easily shareable.
Improving brand awareness is an art, not a science. Following these tips will help you get started—and when you need professional marketing videos that encapsulate your brand’s personality, Spin Creative can help. Say hello!
Spin Creative is a video production company and creative agency helping marketers create winning video and creative strategies that engage, inspire and activate targeted audiences. Spin is headquartered in Seattle with offices in San Francisco and London, serving brands around the globe.
At Spin Creative, we believe the most effective product stories go beyond features—they tap into a clear, emotionally resonant narrative that connects with real people. That’s the lens we brought to our collaboration with Microsoft Viva, where our challenge was clear: create a high-impact video that visually captures how Copilot AI empowers people at work.
The end result? A fully 3D-animated brand film designed to wow audiences at executive keynotes, tradeshows, and enterprise events. But how we got there is just as important as what we delivered.
At Spin Creative, we’ve always believed that the power of brand storytelling lies in connecting emotionally with real people. But as artificial intelligence transforms industries at lightning speed, many marketing and creative leaders are asking the same question: What’s next for agencies like ours—and how do we continue to drive value in this new era? Here’s our point of view: AI is a powerful new tool—but not a replacement for insight, strategy, and human connection.
In 2025, digital marketing continues to be a dynamic force—shaped by shifting consumer behaviors, ever-changing platform algorithms, and increasing privacy regulations. For brands looking to maintain relevance and performance in a crowded space, staying ahead means being strategic, adaptive, and creative. At Spin Creative, we believe that clarity in brand storytelling, paired with a smart digital approach, can help brands rise above the noise.
A great video marketing campaign doesn’t start with creative—it starts with strategy. To make an impact, your brand needs more than a beautiful video; it needs a plan that aligns with your audience’s needs, your business goals, and the right distribution channels.
