Common questions about brand, branding and the value of brand guidelines.

Branding FAQs | 1Brand

At 1Brand, we think of a brand as the outward appearance of your organization's culture. It's everything your organization does when interacting with the market from the values you hold to the value you create. You can make your brand more effective by consistently meeting your target market's expectations and operating in a way that's consistent with your stated values.

Branding is the work you do to actively develop your brand by creating associations between your ideal customers and your culture. The objective of branding is to get your target market to see themselves as a part of your culture and your brand as a part of their culture. A strong brand reduces barriers by creating implicit trust.

The implicit trust created by authentic cultural connections with your target market builds enduring brand strength. Today's brands become stronger by reinforcing their value, demonstrating their values, and doing this consistently and repeatedly over time.

Brand guidelines act as the source of truth for your brand, driving consistency in visual brand representation, voice, tone, and other brand dimensions. They act as a guide for anyone who wants to work with your brand, enabling employees, customers, partners, and vendors to amplify your brand consistently. To deliver value, your brand guide always needs to be current and needs to link to the assets others need to represent your brand.
