Brand management

Surely, you have a brand portal?

In all honesty, does everyone in your organization know where they can find marketing collateral? Do they understand the look and feel of your brand and adhere to brand guidelines?

The answer is more often than not, no. It’s also one of the most common causes of unnecessary strain on the marketing department. Improper brand usage and endless questions about finding certain marketing assets or sending this or that file is a cause for marketing inefficiency and brand inconsistency.

But there is hope…

Successful brands are made from successful brand management strategies

Brand consistency is fundamental in building a strong brand.  You might think to yourself that this is easy if you are determined enough. However, studies shows that only 25% of companies have formal brand guidelines and actively enforce them.  

In other words, brand guidelines alone are not enough to secure brand consistency. Fundamentally, central, and local marketing must work in harmony. To do this, marketers must adopt and use a brand platform that makes it possible to have one single source of truth for all marketing and branding efforts.  Let’s have a look at how digital asset management is a central piece in this equation.

This often results in time and resources spent on looking for assets that are never found, which in itself is unnecessary.
