Brand management

delimiter image

A brand does not drift because of one bad decision. It drifts because of two hundred small ones made by people in a hurry with no rules to hand. Brand management is the ongoing work of keeping that from happening.

The role is custodian of your identity: reviewing work produced in house and by other suppliers, keeping the asset library current and accessible, answering the day to day questions about what is allowed, and updating the guidelines as the brand genuinely changes rather than as it erodes.

For businesses with several sites, sub brands or franchise partners, the harder version of this is handled too: giving people enough freedom to do their job while keeping the parts that must stay consistent locked down.
