Branding vs. Marketing

Branding is why. Marketing is how.

Branding is long-term. Marketing is short-term.

Branding is macro. Marketing is micro.

Branding defines trajectory. Marketing defines tactics.

Branding builds loyalty. Marketing generates response.

Branding creates value. Marketing extracts value.

Branding is the being. Marketing is the doing.

“We were introduced to ycreativegroup through our packaging print vendor Belmark Printing. Our previous creative firm was production challenged. The printer was taxed with editing design files to repair and create efficiency through the print process. Ultimately it affected our top-line growth.

ycreativegroup fixed all of our files — streamlined our print production process and —  saved us money. Since those days, we have had them design new projects and love their ability to solve design solutions with ease. They are very responsive, move projects along efficiently, and are a pleasure to work with.”
