Internal Brand Launch Program

Corporate Branding takes significant time and energy. Our clients breathe a sigh of relief when the branding process is completed, but despite the temptation to relax, the end of the branding process is only beginning. It’s not a destination; it’s a starting point.

When launching a brand, we encourage clients to partner with us in doing an internal brand launch and knowledge transfer. This means educating your staff about the new brand, answering specific questions they have and encouraging them to share in a cohesive brand launch.

Internal brand rollout is knowledge transfer of specific strategic processes that align and empower employees to deliver the appropriate customer experience in a consistent manner.

At the core of every strong brand is an organization that is engaged and passionate about the way it makes a difference for its customers.

The power of a brand diminishes if your staff don’t understand and believe in the brand. If they understand the brand, they will know what to say and what rules to follow. If they believe in the brand, they will know how to act and they’ll be motivated to make the brand what it should be.

Belief and brand buy-in is a powerful asset in all stages of the branding process and having buy-in makes the brand rollout much easier. Successful internal brand building requires an organization to define and clearly communicate its authentic and distinctive qualities
