Branding is the art of representing a company’s promise to its customers through its advertising, customer service, reputation, and visual logo. Whether you are looking at the corporate branding of organizations or the personal branding of individuals, their brand marketing will seek to answer the same questions - who they are, what they do, why they do it, and who they do it for.
Branding is thus important because it helps companies to attract new customers and give their employees motivation and purpose, both of which increase that company’s value in the marketplace. Traditionally, the brand identity of an organization would include a distinctive logo, typography, colors, and messaging presented to the customers.
But in today’s world of digital marketing, brand communication encompasses an expanding number of channels. Utilizing engaging social media strategies, content marketing and influencer marketing, and other innovative techniques allows for creative new opportunities to expand the concept of what branding can be.‎
