Brands today don’t exist in a vacuum. They’re not unilateral, broadcasting to the world what they want people to believe about them. They’re dynamic, shaped and felt by people – their customers, their partners, their investors or their employees – across every touchpoint. Each audience passes judgement based on how that brand shows up, how it speaks to them, and how it makes them feel.

Today, brand is more than a name, logo, tagline, advertising campaign or even the marketing department’s sole purview. A brand’s success is measured by the summation of the touchpoints all stakeholders—customers, employees, partners, investors, community—have with an organization. When a brand is well-managed, stakeholder experiences align with the expectations set by marketing communications and the brand grows in value over time.
