Brand guidelines provide a roadmap for how a brand should be presented and used across all communication channels. This includes everything from the company’s logo, typography, and color palette, to tone of voice, messaging, and even how the brand should be used on social media.
By having clear brand guidelines in place, a company can ensure that its brand remains consistent and recognisable, no matter where it’s being seen. This helps to build brand recognition, establish trust and credibility, and create a cohesive image that resonates with customers.
In short, brand guidelines are like a GPS for your company’s image, helping everyone to stay on track and present a consistent, professional, and memorable first impression.
Enterprise-sized companies, with many branches and franchises, benefit greatly from clear brand guidelines to ensure a consistent image across the organisation. This helps to maintain the integrity of the brand and support the company’s overall mission and values.
At the same time, growing companies with franchises can also benefit from establishing brand guidelines early on. This helps to set the tone for how the brand should be used and communicated, and provides a foundation for future growth and expansion. By having clear brand guidelines in place, growing companies can establish a strong brand identity that appeals to customers and supports their success.
