Purpose The purpose of this presentation is to – • Present the brand strategy to the Library Marketing workshopso as to understand how City of Tshwane is positioning itself.
Introduction • We got it right this time. • The brand marketing process is to determine the brand positioning and personality (brand identity) before developing a logo. In other words, the brief to develop the logo should be derived from the brand identity strategy. The brand identity strategy is not only the name, the logo design and the visual elements of the brand, but the core meaning of a brand (its strategic DNA).
Background • Following the merger with the Metsweding District Municipality last May, a new identity (which included a brand new logo and a slogan) had to be developed for the expanded Tshwane. • This was done through a student competition. 2 students from TUT designed the winning logo and a student from Open Window School developed the slogan. • However, this project was not budgeted for as it was to start in July but the leadership brought it forward. This is why the implementation of the logo isdone in phases . It is envisaged that full implementation will take up to 2 years.
