Strengths
Don’t Worry. Be Happy!
The Innocent brand spreads faith and optimism wherever it goes. People feel happy, rejuvenated and content with this brand. It is simple and easy to understand. Your customers trust that things will be chaos-free.
Weaknesses
Tech Isn't Easy
Don’t become so simplistic or childlike that people don’t take you seriously. Some presentations may require a fairly deep dive into techie-jargon, complex explanations and the outlining of nit-picky details. These approaches don't feel very innocent and can weaken your approach.
Opportunities
A Breath of Fresh Air
The Innocent Brand can be the cheery, easy-to-work-with-company that people feel good about. You use simple, uplifting words and messages that leave people feeling hopeful. If your competition is serious, complicated, or intense, you can be more positive and refreshingly simple.
Threats
We Won’t Let You Down!
The worst thing for an Innocent brand is to do something wrong, break trust, or let someone down. It is like a child disappointing a parent. Therefore, trust is very high on your priority list in this brand. You will achieve this trust by staying true to chaos-free simplicity.
