Why authentic brand experiences are the key to sustainable success
In a world where consumers are confronted with thousands of advertising messages every day, it is no longer enough to simply have an appealing logo or a catchy claim. A brand is not a static element – it is alive. And like any living system, it evolves through interactions, encounters and experiences.
1. brands are more than just products, they are relationship experiences
Products can be copied, prices can be undercut, technologies can be improved – but real brand loyalty is not created through purely rational arguments. What convinces people of a brand is how it makes them feel.
Memories: A smell, a sound, a color scheme – all of these can evoke emotions that stay with you forever.
Trust: Consistency in the brand image ensures that customers feel secure and understood.
Meaning: Brands that communicate a higher meaning create a sense of belonging and identification.
Example: Luxury brands such as Hermès or Porsche sell not just a product, but an attitude to life – the result of decades of consciously designed brand staging.
2. emotions are the bridge between brand and people
Marketing psychology shows that over 80% of purchasing decisions are made emotionally – even when we believe we are acting rationally. Emotions create a connection, and this connection is the reason why customers remain loyal, even when cheaper alternatives exist.
TANOLARA understands brand development as an emotional architectural process:
Storytelling that touches people – not just telling them what a company does, but why it does it.
Visual language that resonates – design, colors and imagery that convey a certain feeling.
Experience spaces that inspire – whether virtual or physical, every contact with the brand triggers a specific emotion.
3. experiences shape the brand value
A brand is what people say about it when no one from the company is listening. These conversations arise from personal experiences – often small moments that leave a lasting impression.
Positive surprises are remembered and lead to recommendations.
Consistency lets customers build on reliability.
A personal approach gives the feeling of being perceived individually.
TANOLARA develops brand concepts in such a way that every customer experience becomes a building block of a consistent brand world. We combine in-depth brand expertise with creative staging – from the initial logo development to the actual customer experience.
4. consistency meets creativity
Many companies fail because their brand messages are creative but not consistent – or vice versa. Successful branding combines both: a clear brand identity that is flexible enough to remain relevant and creative enough to inspire.
5. from the brand story to brand reality
The biggest mistake many companies make is not living up to their brand promises in the real customer experience. An inspiring social media presence is of little use if the real experience – in the store, on the phone, on delivery – is disappointing.
That is why TANOLARA relies on the seamless linking of strategy and implementation. Every message is tested for its practical translatability:
Does it fit the internal processes? Can employees convey it credibly? Does it enhance the desired brand perception?
6 Why brand experiences are more important today than ever before
In the digital era, there are endless opportunities to showcase a brand – but also endless opportunities to damage it. A bad customer experience spreads online in seconds. At the same time, positive, authentic experiences can create a viral pull effect.
A brand that consistently creates positive emotions becomes a recommendation, not just an option. It is part of its customers’ personal story – and therefore indispensable.
Conclusion: Brands have to be felt - and that is precisely our craft
At TANOLARA, we believe that brands are not primarily designed, but staged and experienced. Our task is to create a brand world for companies that is not only seen, but felt – at every point of contact, in every moment.
A strong brand does not live from the product alone. It lives from the experiences it creates and the emotions it leaves behind.
And that’s exactly what we stand for.
TANOLARA – Branding that touches. Marketing that lasts.
