Corporate identity is crucial for a company’s success in the market and employee cohesion. It is established through branding measures and reinforced by policies and practices. A strong identity attracts and retains customers, and periodic changes can occur with organizational changes. Consultants can help companies improve their image through advertising campaigns and community events.
Corporate identity is important for cohesion within a corporation as well as public perception and success in the open market. Typically, companies establish an identity through the use of branding measures such as logos, colors, and trademarks. They reinforce it with policies and business practices that support the identity and create room for growth. Companies with unclear or ill-defined identities may have trouble distinguishing themselves in the marketplace.
Organizationally, corporate identity is important for employees working in a company. When acting as representatives, they need to know what kind of image the company wants to project and how it wants to do business. Employees at all levels represent the company formally and informally and can play a role in shaping public perceptions of the organization. A company in the environmental sector, for example, might encourage staff to engage in environmentally friendly practices and emphasize the company’s commitment to sustainability in meetings and other settings.
Corporate identity also plays a role in a company’s reception in the market. Consumers seek out brands they know and favor. A company with a strong identity can attract and retain more customers. You can also create associations with that identity to make audience members view you in a positive light. Organizations can, for example, sponsor events to get their logos out in the public eye on documents such as programmes, brochures, posters and banners.
Periodic changes in corporate identity can occur when a company makes changes to its organizational culture and business practices. Sometimes they are flagged with design changes. A company might change its name, change a logo, or adopt different colors. Companies work closely with consultants for these activities to ensure the best possible results from a rebranding campaign. The company does not want to lose customers or adopt bad associations with the new brand after getting rid of an old brand.
New companies or old companies with unclear goals can meet with identity consultants to discuss ways to improve their image or develop a more cohesive image. Consultants can recommend a variety of measures. This could include advertising campaigns, developing better internal guidelines for employees, and more participation in community events to make people aware of the company and its services. Ideally, all company communication, from a business card handed to a fellow passenger on an airplane to billboards in major urban areas, should promote a consistent and clear corporate identity.
