Neumeier argues that the key to creating a successful brand is to focus on creating a space for your brand in the minds of your customers. This space is what will differentiate you from your competitors and make you the go-to choice for your target audience.

To create your space, Neumeier recommends following these five steps:

Define your brand's purpose. What is your brand's reason for being? What are you trying to achieve with your brand?
Identify your brand's values. What are the core values that your brand stands for? These values should be reflected in everything you do, from your marketing materials to your customer service.
Create a brand story. Every brand has a story to tell. What's your brand's story? What makes your brand unique and special?
Develop a brand identity. Your brand identity is the visual representation of your brand. This includes your logo, your color scheme, and your typography.
Manage your brand. Once you've created your brand, it's important to manage it carefully. This means monitoring your brand's reputation, protecting your brand from infringement, and making sure that your brand is always consistent.

Creating a strong brand is not easy, but it's essential for any business that wants to succeed in today's competitive market. By following the steps outlined in Create Your Space, you can create a brand that will help you achieve your business goals and stand out from the crowd.
