Brand consistency
Brand consistency is not only about a logo. It is a big picture of all aspects of marketing and customer interaction that forms the foundation of your business identity.
When it comes to consistency in your brand, the primary factor to consider is visual consistency across elements such as your logo, colour palette, and typography.
An equally important factor is the consistency of your messaging. The messaging and tone used in all of your brand communications should always be in line with your brand values and personality, whether this relates to your website, social media, or advertising.
By ensuring consistency across all channels and platforms, you can create a memorable and cohesive brand image that resonates with your audience and builds trust and loyalty.
Your brand is what other people say about you when you’re not in the room.
– Jeff Bezos
