An aligned brand clarifies your company. Uniformly used colors, fonts, and your logo help customers or other stakeholders understand your messaging and purpose. If your company name is used more than once (which is the most likely case scenario), it’s very important to establish yourself and differentiate your company from others. In addition to clarification, aligned branding breeds trust and loyalty in your community. If your digital presence is put together, people make the logical assumption that your company, therefore your product / service, is put together and trustworthy as well. This is reassuring, mitigates miscommunication and allows you to stay ahead of your current and future competition. Aligned branding also guides your market power and industry influence, as your digital presence grows and you generate even more credibility. This lays the groundwork for trend-setting and furthers community building.
