Your brand’s purpose might be the easiest and at the same time the hardest ‘basic’ building block to establish. It’s everything. And it’s probably what got you started in the first place. But a purpose can also develop over time.

What is a brand purpose?
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]
Your brand’s purpose is why you exist. What do you believe in, what are you fighting for? What pain points are you solving, what problem in the (hospitality/tourism) world?
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]
This is not a mission statement! It’s more than that. It goes deeper. When we look at mission statements of hotels, we’ll find incredibly general things. Like ‘To be the world’s leading boutique hotel chain’. Your purpose goes a step back. Why are you even doing this? What is your main motivation?
