In today's highly competitive market landscape, the degree of consumer engagement has become the crucial lifeline of a brand's success or failure. This paper focuses on three core elements of brand design - structure, semantics, and content - and deeply analyzes how they leverage the leverage of consumer engagement. Through detailed case analysis and rigorous theoretical deduction, it reveals how structural elements such as brand logos, color combinations, and font selections shape consumers' cognition; how semantic elements such as product appearance semantics, brand slogans, and brand stories trigger the internal logic of consumers' emotional resonance; and how content elements such as the value, diverse forms, and personalized customization of brand information catalyze consumers' deep integration. The research findings aim to provide a solid theoretical foundation and practical guidance for enterprises to carve out excellent brand designs and comprehensively enhance consumer engagement.
