Branding on a budget for small to medium sized organisations
What is a brand? A successful brand is a promise fulfilled.
Redefine your brand • Is your brand aligned with market changes? • Ask your stakeholders if your brand is fit for purpose • Even simple changes such as tweaking key messages can make a big difference
Test your brand • No substitute for talking to your market • Aim for breadth (e.g. online surveys) and depth (e.g. 1:1 interviews) • Ask opinion leaders for advice over a coffee
Review your branded materials • Check random sample of online and offline materials • How do they appear on a PC/tablet/mobile screen? • Which materials need to work hardest for you?
Keep everyone on board with your brand • Never get complacent about your brand • Do a regular internal brand review • Are people using the brand guidelines?
Remember that your brand is social • Thanks to social, all your staff are now brand ambassadors • Everyone owns the brand • Do you have a good social media policy?
