4. MAKING YOUR IDENTITY WORK Building a brand and identity is a challenging and rewarding task that demands a high level of involvement from both the external consultants and internal team Atelier ID takes the approach of looking at the ‘whole picture’ of your identity – considering issues such as: How the company interacts with its customers: in person, on-line, and in-product? What is the role of identity in these interactions? How will the identity be properly and consistently implemented across all the facets of a company – from your phone system, to your CRM, to your corporate PowerPoint template? Modelling success for your identity: employee engagement and excitement, public relations and communication plans, and most critically, customer engagement and resonance
5. MORE THAN A PRETTY PICTURE The world is full of creativity and good design, but brand building and identity creation must bring more than a nice logo to the table This process involves research and analysis: Understanding your market, your product, your position visàvis your competitors/partners/clients Strategizing a positioning approach that will help you rise above noise and clutter in your marketspace Developing a consistent ‘voice’ so that your brand is communicating most effectively and directly with your existing and potential clients Building a roadmap so that your brand and identity evolve and grow in line with your own strategic plans and objectives for your business
6. DON’T BE AFRAID OF COMPLEXITY Yes, creating a brand and identity is a big project, one with a lot of moving parts and a significant investment of both time and money – it is very complex Atelier ID minimizes the complexity for the client and can off-load project scheduling, delivery timelines, billing and strategic direction of the project, depending on client needs Because Atelier ID only works on a small number of projects at any one time, each of our clients has priority access to their project team at any time of the day or night – weekday or weekend
