What is tagline development?

Tagline development is the process of writing a short phrase that captures a brand's positioning or promise. Strong taglines are brief, clear, memorable and supported by what the business actually delivers.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
How long should a tagline be?
As short as possible. Many strong taglines are three to six words.
Is a tagline the same as a slogan?
A tagline usually stays with the brand for years. A slogan is often tied to a campaign.
Can a tagline be changed later?
Yes, though changing it too often weakens recognition.
Do we need one?
Not always. It helps most when your name does not explain what you do.
How is it quoted?
It depends on the number of options and testing. You get an itemised proposal first.
