How to Get Customers to Connect with Your Brand
Spin Creative • July 6, 2020
Today’s consumers expect more from the brands they align themselves with. It’s not enough to merely provide a high-quality product or service that meets a need. Customers want to feel like their favorite brands understand and take time to connect with them.
Building this connection is one of the most important parts of driving trust and customer loyalty. When buyers feel heard and spoken to on an individual level, they’ll be less likely to leave for your competitor. But how do you go about building these connections?
Getting customers to connect with your brand is simpler than it may seem. Brands should rely on an in-depth brand strategy and customer data to foster long-lasting relationships with consumers.
Here are a few ways your brand can strengthen your connection with customers.
• Tell your story:
Many customers don’t want to feel like they’re purchasing from a faceless corporation. More and more, consumers are drawn to companies that are vocal about their values, their missions and their promises to customers. To let customers know what your brand is about, tell your brand story
through video or another medium. Showing the history and development of your company humanizes it and builds deeper understanding. Customers can latch on to shared values and come away feeling more aligned with your brand than ever before.
• Personalize communication:
Not all customers are exactly the same, so brands must be careful to not treat them like they are. Personalizing communication with your audiences helps customers know that you understand them and what makes them unique. Make sure you’re using the appropriate voice
and tone for your target audience on their favorite platforms. Use customer data to send personalized ads, emails and other messages that meet their more specific needs, rather than general blasts. This also extends to handling customer problems. Respond to concerns individually and show customers you care about resolving their issues.
• Build a community:
Building a community of your customers not only helps strengthen the connection between you and your audience—it also strengthens their loyalty by building ties between customers themselves. You can do this on your regular social media channels. Or, consider creating a Facebook group or other “exclusive” digital space for customers to chat, ask questions and more. Share user-generated content and ask questions that drive conversations. Many brands have also found immense success in providing sneak peeks or other perks as a display of appreciation for loyal buyers.
Continued connection is key
Once you’ve started to establish a connection with consumers, the most important thing to do is continue to foster it. Brand loyalty and trust are not things you can set and forget—they must be nurtured over time through care and consistency. If customers feel like you only appealed to them in order to get their money, or if you suddenly switch gears and aren’t the brand they knew
and loved, they might feel betrayed.
Remember that strong customer connections don’t start from within your company—they start by listening to your customers. Create content for your audience, and they’re sure to respond. Then, consistently deliver that content, communication and service to buyers as a way to continuously show them they are valuable to you.

About Us
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.
