Akin to Distility's philosophy, Nobel says "deep exploration of our clients"
is critical to the brand-building process. "How do we empathize with what
matters to them? I admire brands that position the designer's empathy for their
clients' needs and the processes they go through to satisfy those needs."
Too frequently, adds Nobel, interior designers position "great portfolios and
prideful résumés" as their brand, rather than as simply benchmarks of their
work. They also confuse a style or look with their brand promise.
A truly effective brand, he explains, will "deliver on the brand promise
with surprise and delight every time a client interacts with it. Interior design
is experiential for the client. And, I might add, more profitable when the
designer aims high."
After defining an interior designer's brand, spreading the message "is a matter
of precision," Nobel explains. As successful brands focus on specific customers,
"it's important to determine where current and prospective clients are and
through what channels they will be exposed to the brand message. Online, in
print, in person are all channels through which pointed messages can
be delivered."
