A tagline is a short, memorable phrase that sums up what your brand stands for or promises. To write one, define your audience and core benefit, then craft a short line, typically three to seven words, that is clear, distinctive, and easy to remember.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good tagline sits beside your logo<\/a> and helps people understand and remember your brand quickly. It is different from a campaign slogan, which can change, while a tagline usually stays with the brand for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
