Avoid formulas and plays on words based on popular sayings Don't use one-word taglines. The Do’s of Tagline Creation Start with a creative brief: a one page document that identifies: - Your goal - Your target - Your most compelling attribute Translate your brand promise into a tagline filtered through your brand personality. Decide on a voice, face, personality, and attitude of your brand. Find a professional to help you develop a good tagline Once you get a tagline, commit to it and put it on everything you do.
