Branding
Brand Management
A brand is more than a logo, colour, slogan or recognizable mark; it is a concept people identify with a company, product, or individual. A successful brand accurately portrays the message, influence or feeling the company hopes to convey.
Effective brand management:
- Builds loyal clients and trusted relationships
- Creates and maintains trust and integrity, both in the brand identity and in relationships with stakeholders
- Builds authenticity in the perceptions and responsibilities
- Improves abilities and functions of the brand
- Interacts effectively with clients
- Generates positive word-of-mouth
- Is easily recognizable
- Instills a sense of pride
Hidden benefits of an effective brand may include saving money, increased funding opportunities, increased partnership opportunities, stronger partnerships and attracting talent.
Developing a strategic plan to gain brand value requires a comprehensive understanding of the brand, its target market, and the organization’s overall vision.
An organization can have a master brand, and its individual departments can amass additional brands. However, they cannot override the main brand; they must work together!
Protecting and promoting the brand through messaging, imagery, colour and logo usage is essential. A brand is among a company’s most important and valuable assets.
