Audit Brand Compliance
Brand compliance is the constant maintenance of a combination of brand coherence and consistency.
Brand consistency – is the maintenance of uniformity of all the elements and tools it uses in its broad communication.
A visual and communication system that makes it easy to remember, recognize and build its image at the cognitive level. It builds and maintains brand recognition.
Brand congruence
Brand congruence – is the uniformity of its values, goals, mission, vision, strategies and objectives.
Equally important at the level of internal and external communication. It is honesty with itself, but also honesty with stakeholders. It builds and maintains trust in the brand.
What is a Brand Compliance Audit and when is it worth conducting one?
