Corporations and organizations are becoming increasingly
concerned about their image and reputation. Image
and reputation are shaped by a host of factors including your
core business, vision and values.
Businesses who have an excellent image and reputation consistently
act and communicate to their stakeholders in accordance with
a clear understanding of such factors. Fundamentally, they
understand their brand and everything it signifies, and are
disciplined to pursue a strategy that ensures all communications
and actions align with it.
The true test of if you are managing your brand properly
is if you can answer an unqualified YES to the following statement
for your business:
“I understand who I am, and I consistently convey who
I am to all of my stakeholders.”
If there is any qualification in your response to this statement,
you may need to consider trying to better understand your
brand.
Traditionally businesses have handed over the management
of their brand to advertising and communication agencies.
And they do a fine job. However, brand management is more
complex that that. Your brand is embedded within the DNA of
your business and every one of its representatives and every
stakeholder you do business with, interact with and observes
your business. The pillars of a brand are specific and complex
and require a strong foundation.
