Brand strategy vs brand identity: what should you buy first?
https://brandlyup.com/insights/brand-strategy-vs-brand-identity-what-should-you-buy-first/

QUICK ANSWER
Strategy decides what the brand should mean and to whom. Identity turns that decision into a recognisable system. Begin with the unresolved decision: unclear audiences call for research and positioning; an agreed direction with inconsistent execution may need identity work first.

WORKING CHECKLIST
1. List the decisions already agreed.
2. Identify the materials that fail in everyday use.
3. Ask for deliverables and exclusions in writing.
