How Important is Brand Identity to your business?
Brand awareness or brand identity is everywhere you look. Just think of your typical day going to work, you will probably see billboards or see advertising on cars or buses. This is an example of brand awareness; just think of all the times you see the Nike swoosh in a month or a coca cola logo.
Companies all over the world are creating themselves a brand identity which gives people a sense of who they are and what they do. Your brand is the meaning behind your logo, your message and all of your content.

Once you’ve established that you can then spread the word through various marketing channels. It will confuse potential customers if you try to market your company without a brand identity. The ultimate goal is to be first in line in your customers mind, however you have to keep in mind that brand awareness has its pitfalls as the internet has opened outlets for consumers to talk openly about your brand either positively or negatively.
