OVERVIEW OF BRAND IDENTITY

Your brand identity is an integral part of your company. It’s how the public views your organization and relates to your business. Crafting a brand identity that promotes your values and mission can help you establish a positive and authentic foothold in the marketplace.

BUILDING YOUR BRAND PIECE BY PIECE

Practically, think of the strength of a brand as simply being the firm’s reputation times its visibility within its target client group.

Brand strength =
Your reputation x Your visibility

Who are your audiences?

Reputation and goodwill extend far beyond a brand’s target customers. Employees are now called “internal customers” because their power is far-reaching. Gaining insight into stakeholders (customers, employees, partners, the community, stock holders, etc.) characteristics, behavior, needs, and perceptions yields a high return.
