Contemporary trends in digital provide loads of platforms for you to promote your brand — spreading your message — but these channels also pose a threat in upholding a solid brand. ‘Why?‘ you might ask. Let me give you an example: how do you ensure that your social media manager uses the same logo as displayed on your business cards? Got you there, didn’t I? So, while I’ve got your undivided attention. Here are 3 ways to keep your brand on track in the digital age:

Keep in mind that customers evaluate every single interaction they experience with your business. Brand consistency doesn’t start or end with visual explanations — it expands to the behavior of the people within your company. Therefore, your brand should be a representation of your company culture, as well as your vision. Take time to develop a proper brand which fits your style of being, and at the same time serves as a guide for consistent company behavior. You’ll recognize how your coworkers themselves build a connection to your brand. Educate them about the importance of brand consistency, and they’ll check themselves from time to time. In other words: make sure your brand sends the right message and stands by it.

That’s right folks, we have technology. As good as your Style Guide might be, you cannot uphold brand consistency as long as your coworkers are unable to make use of it. Hence, share your Style Guide with the relevant people, and more importantly, share them online. Using a central online platform for your brand resources helps you saving time and provides you with more control. With a cloud solution, it’s neither necessary to work through a mountain of PDFs looking for guidelines about a logo, nor is it hard to find the newest version of it.

To cut a long story short: the requirements to keep your brand consistent are accumulating. Keep in mind the three aspects mentioned above to successfully maneuver your brand through the digital age.
