The P3 Brand Audit ensures your authentic brand shines through.
Imagine a brand that is enduring, that is sustaining and sustainable, and that feeds the soul of your company and makes the whole stronger. Your brand image creates expectations. It defines who you are, how you operate, and how you’re different from your competitors. In essence, your brand image is a promise - a promise that must be kept.
Branding Sets your Customer Perception Tone
Customers experience a brand in numerous ways: products, packaging, price, marketing, sales personnel, etc. Each of these contacts or touchpoints molds the customer’s impression of the brand. Some of these touchpoints are obvious, like product performance, and one-on-one customer interactions. Other touchpoints, such as the product manual, monthly statements or post-sales support, may be subtler in their brand effects.
If the brand is a promise you make, then the customer experience is the fulfillment of that promise. The customer experience can’t be left to chance. It should be actively designed and controlled in a manner that enhances your brand image. It must consistently reinforce the brand promise across every customer touchpoint or the value of the brand itself is at risk. Authentic brands are not about marketing. They are not products. They live inside the company. And they are held and enacted of, by, and for the people.
Branding is the Foundation of a Company’s Culture
Brands act as the company’s foundation. Its principles are the framework for thought and action by everyone in the company. Without it there is no consistency, no alignment between what you say and what you do, no synchronicity between who you are inside and the way you present yourself outside.
Authentic brands are in many ways the identity of the company culture. They help cultures become visible. They also embody the values and purpose of the company, giving all these things a face and a voice that can be seen and heard by everyone the company touches. But especially employees. As the people who most keenly impact the day-to-day beliefs and actions of the company it is constantly amazing how little they are considered when brand is discussed.
It is employees who show the brand to be true or not. Authentic brands live or die with the people in the organization. Authentic brands feel natural. When you are living the brand day in and day out, saying it becomes almost superfluous.
