--------HOW BRAND
IS CREATED?
A brand is a promise." -Ian Ryder
"A brand is a conversation." - Stephen Rappaport
"A brand is a set of expectations." - Nicholas Ind
"A brand is the symbolic glue [that holds people together.]" -Colin Morley
"A brand is the means through which an organization symbolizes,
differentiates and communicates itself to all its audiences." - Jack Yan
Branding should start from YOU, from the
internal communications of the company and should percolate to the employees of
all levels and then it should be taken to the outside public. Without
considering the internal communications and without taking the employees of
your organization into account, no BRAND experiments will succeed.
So, cultivate a culture that reinforces your branded culture and encourage
employees to live upto that branding.
Periodically check, verify and measure the effectiveness of your internal
communications and initiatives in connection with the Branding strategy
Start insisting the senior management - to take
the initiatives in this regard.
Prepare your own communications standards and
effective deadlines - and distribute them to all the employees and insist for
follow-up.
Search and identify the positive examples of
employee behavior that represents your values, mission, and brand and business
strategy and note them and encourage them.
Reward employees for demonstrating their commitment to your brand contract and
values.
Demonstrate on a weekly basis about how commitment to mission and values is the
touchstone that drives your strategic decisions.
Search, identify and locate creativity of
employees in bringing the brand to life.
Make sure that you Involve all departments in
branding culture - not just marketing - HR, operations, customer support,
development, finance, and any other.
Demonstrate through your behavior and actions
that you are the true follower of your own set rules, and you do have the moral
authority, and you expect the others to follow YOU.
The brand is not "The brand"
It's a simple distinction. Once made, you don't
need to repeat it, just reiterate it. In actual terms, the brand is formed and
lives in the minds of people who come across it. They can be customers, staff
or shareholders. The important part to remember is that you may be the
owner of the brand, you don't control it.
It's a kind of illusion which speaks about your
entire company without actually telling about it. It lives there as a
collection of associations about your company, your product, your employees,
your adverts or any other aspect of the experience and the way you communicate.
Gradually, it becomes a symbol, idea, notion - to all your company represents
and tells about who you are and what you stand for.
