Chapter’s Branding Materials
• Branding assessment– How you ‘define yourself’– How you distinguish yourself from the
competition
Chapter’s Branding Materials
• Branding assessment– Who are you (NOTE: you must be
everything locally that Sigma is nationally!)
– How do you think you look?– How do others see you?– How do you close the gap between the
two perceptions?
Chapter’s Branding Materials
• Branding assessment– Are your local images acceptable to the
national organization? – Who are you trying to reach?– What are you trying to say?– What is your tone in saying it? – Review and Revise what you say to keep it
fresh
Your Message• You can’t say it all• You can’t be all things to all people• Determine if your message will– Announce (establish brand)– Invoke Action (selling tickets)– Educate (solidify brand)– Clarify (emergency marketing)
Launch Points• TV/Radio– Interviews– News Segments– PSA’s– Advertising
Launch Points• Print Media– The Press Release– PSA’s– Feature Article– Advertising– Chapter Letterhead– Chapter Photos
Launch Points• Most Accessible – THE COMPUTER– Web Sites– List Serves– Blogs– Emails– Evites, Constant Contact– Social Network Media
REMEMBER• You represent a national organization• Represent ’s ideals• Respect and honor ’s rules of
representation• Short and to the point• Review and revise• Balance your use of technologies for
the best chapter mix
REMEMBER• Is your information relevant?
Newsworthy? Dated?• Start lead-ins STRONG, POWERFUL• Write for the media• Stick to facts (unless a feature)
REMEMBER• Pick an angle and voice from which to
speak and remain consistent• Active, not passive voice• Word economy (K.I.S.S. – keep it short,
stupid)• Minimize jargon, frat talk (unless you
are ONLY speaking to greeks)• DO NOT USE UPPER CASE EXCLUSIVELY
FINALLY• Competition exists for ALL
communication• All information is NOT always picked-
up and carried• You can pay for professional
placements• It takes TIME to get news INTO the
news
