Integrated Branding: Synergising & Streamlining Communication for Building Brand Equity
• The B2B landscape is noisy, confusing and ever-changing
The need for Integrated Branding
• Marketing, PR, B2B branding, digital communications, television, space branding, outdoor - the opportunities and challenges for presenting and reinforcing your brand keep growing
• Coherence (different communications, logically connected)
The 4 Cs of Integrated Branding (According to Pickton and Broderick in their book, ‘Integrated Marketing Communications’)
• Consistency (multiple messages supporting & reinforcing but never contradictory) • Continuity (connected & consistent communications through time) • Complementary (synergistic)
What is Integrated Branding? •
A holistic process in action, combining research, strategy, design and execution - under one large ‘brand umbrella’.
•
It articulates your brand promise and then communicates it with clarity, synergy and consistency across various channels and touch-points
What does Integrated Branding achieve?
•
Makes your brand recognizable: Your stakeholders will know your brand wherever they encounter it. Visiting your factory or your office, meeting you at an exhibition, browsing your website or seeing your ad in a magazine.
•
Makes your brand believable: Each interaction with your brand will “feel” the same, speak the same language – so as to breed familiarity and trust in each interaction.
•
Makes your brand compelling: By delivering your brand with synergy and consistency, there will be a buy-in – from prospective customers, employees or investors.
• Above all, it builds Brand Equity, the intangible asset that adds psychological and financial value to the brand/company.
