What makes branding different?
What’s my definition of branding? Simple: it’s any individual’s experience with any part of an organization...anywhere and anytime. A brand is built (or not) every time a candidate walks into an organization for an interview, every time a customer returns a product to a retail store, or every time someone browses an offering on a website or digital device. A brand is what happens to you when you touch a company. Strongly branded organizations align those experiences to reinforce the brand promises they make in marketing. And that’s a job that never, ever ends.

As CMOs, we can choose to build brands that reflect and shape a more equitable culture and society. It's apt that during this challenging time, this year's IWD campaign theme is "Choose to Challenge." Along with five global marketing leaders, we discussed leading with empathy, operating from a place of fearlessness, celebrating the diverse communities that we serve and challenging stereotypes around female leaders and entrepreneurs.

Whether you rebrand to signify the next step in your company’s evolution or a renewed emphasis on your purpose, one thing is certain—for companies who are announcing a brand change, the focus should be on people, not logos and taglines.

Three qualities of a memorable logo
Whether you consider your brand building exercise a refresh, evolution or revolution, the logo is likely to command a healthy portion of the conversation. Crafting a new brand identity requires vision, restraint and execution—a combination only the most capable brand stewards achieve. Some of the process comes down to an indefinable magic—a meeting of designer and strategist; a striking of creative oil. But there are key qualities for which a team should strive for during the creative process, and by keeping them in mind, can ensure an impactful outcome.
