Overview Corporate Identity Development Process

 

The most important steps

Corporate identity development is a process that usually includes the following steps:

 

1. Research and analysis

 

This step involves conducting market research, analyzing the company's target audience, and understanding the company's competitive landscape. This information is used to identify the company's unique selling points and develop a comprehensive understanding of the company's position in the market.

 

Expert tip | Ercin Filizli

Successful marketing starts with a deep understanding of your target audience's perspectives and needs. By using empathy, intuition and facts, find out what issues move your customers the most.

 

 

2. Develop a brand strategy

 

Based on the research and analysis, develop a brand strategy. This includes defining the company's purpose, mission, vision, values and overall brand positioning or USP (unique selling proposition). This step helps create a solid foundation for the brand and ensures consistency in all communications.

 

 

3. Corporate Identity

 

Once the brand strategy is developed, the design elements of the brand are created.
This includes developing a logo, color palette, typography and overall design aesthetic. This step helps create a visual representation of the brand that aligns with the company's purpose, mission, vision and values.

 

Expert tip | Tim Schnettker
Creating a corporate design manual, including digital design guidelines, is an essential step in the corporate design development process. There are many good reasons why it is important to create these guidelines at the very beginning.

 

 

4. Implementation

 

This step introduces the new corporate identity across all touchpoints, from business cards and letterheads to packaging and digital platforms. This ensures consistency across all channels and touchpoints and helps build a recognizable brand image.

 

 

5. Monitoring and evaluation

 

The final step in this process is to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the new corporate identity. This can be done by analyzing customer feedback, monitoring sales and other business metrics, and conducting market research. Based on the results, adjustments can be made to the brand to ensure it remains relevant and effective.

The steps described above are a simple summary.
It is important to note that these steps are not necessarily linear and are iterative, as some steps will be reconsidered and refined as the process progresses. In addition, the timeframe of the development process may vary depending on your organization's needs, resources, and the scope of the project.

Corporate Identity vs. Brand Marketing

Corporate identity and brand marketing differ in that corporate identity is essentially concerned with a company's overall image, while brand marketing is concerned with promoting and positioning a company's products or services.

 

Difference between Corporate Identity and Brand Identity

Corporate identity and brand identity are two distinct concepts in the field of marketing.
Corporate identity refers to the overall image and reputation of a company, including its values, purpose, mission and vision, as well as visual elements such as logo, color scheme and typography.
The importance of corporate identity is that it creates a consistent image and message for all toiuchpoints with the company.

Brand identity, on the other hand, focuses on the visual and emotional representation of a particular brand within the company. This includes design elements such as the logo, typography, packaging and color scheme, as well as the tone of voice and messages associated with the brand.
Brand identity is intended to create a unique and recognizable image in the minds of customers that differentiates the brand from its competitors and creates an emotional connection with customers.

In practice, corporate identity and brand identity are closely linked. A company often has several brands under its umbrella. This gives rise to opportunities for combination. Whether these brands have their own identity, which is embedded in the corporate identity, or stand alone depends on the respective brand strategies. Simplified, we speak here of brand architecture. In other words, the structure and organization of brands within a company.
