WHAT IS A BRAND AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
A strong corporate brand embodies the image of your company and the perception of its products. It also sets the foundation for building lasting relationships with current clients and attracting new ones.
Your brand is your customers' first impression of your company and its products. This initial experience establishes their expectations of how your company will meet their needs—or not.
WHAT IS AN INTEGRATED BRAND?
Companies with fully integrated brands act and communicate in ways that are consistent with their brand promise. Everything they do reflects what the company does best and what their customers consider important. Effective corporate brands aren't just something created by the marketing department—they're integrated into every aspect of the company. Brands that work live in the daily activities of the entire company. To make this happen, successful companies make sure their employees have the tools and skills they need. They know that employees who understand and believe in their brand work to fulfill the company's brand promise and satisfy every customer's needs. And these companies follow through to guide their employees' actions so that every customer interaction increases their brand value and cements the relationship between the company and its customers.
