LPGA
LPGA BRAND BRIEF The reason this brand exists While the LPGA has evolved over the course of time, since 1950, the spirit of the organization has persevered. The 13 founders had a clear vision: to democratize the elitism of golf, and provide economic empowerment to its members and share its wealth of passion with everyone who touched the LPGA. Today, the LPGA gives phenomenal female golfers worldwide the opportunity to compete professionally in the sport they love. These athletes, so appreciative of the opportunity to rise, give of themselves becoming outstanding global role models - upholding the highest standards of excellence, sportsmanship and goodwill. Though the athletes are the most visible and dramatic symbols of the brand, the LPGA brand transcends what happens on the course; the LPGA is a developmental and teaching organization committed to fostering growth in each individual player. The human need this business or brand fulfills We are each born with a unique set of skills and have potential to become great. Those who have achieved their greatness often speak of their mentors, parents, teachers, and inspirational driving forces as the keys to unlocking their potential. We all love stories of phenoms who were born to parents who unleashed their greatness, or whose astute teacher realized and stirred their motivation. Most typically, people turn to universities and businesses as they seek more organized systems where a concentration of molders and shapers might exist. In contrast to sports organizations that highlight raw talent and thrive on the moment of challenge, the LPGA is a rare sports organization that develops human potential and is a vehicle for achievement. The brand idea we ve developed as a result: Competing Head to Head, Working Hand in Hand The way we re thinking about this brand idea The LPGA is more than world-class golf. The heartbeat of the LPGA is about fostering skills and passion to help all involved realize the best in themselves. Competing head to head, working hand in hand This championing of the people has a ripple on everyone who engages with the brand: LPGA is Golfers: propelling the best female players from all countries and walks of life Fans: developing meaningful connections that affect the spirit Sponsors: adding value to their business and brands through association with excellence, development, and good works World at large: creating an equity of opportunity for women around the world, and helping countries develop economy around golf Executional Considerations Embrace LPGA logo Creatively re-evaluate These Girls Rock
