Brand Activation

Once you have your brand strategy to guide you, and a distinctive visual and verbal identity that brings it to life, it’s time to consider how you go to market. Do you gradually phase your roll-out (soft launch)? Or do you announce it with a big fanfare (hard launch)? Either way, it first needs to be applied across all the customer touch-points and embedded internally prior to launch.

Internal engagement

From employer branding to training and onboarding materials, having your employees understand and champion your brand is essential to building a united culture. We always feel that successful brand activation projects start with internal engagement. If this is done well your own teams become your most ardent brand champions, so it makes sense to engage them, inform them and importantly inspire them as you launch the new brand and identity system.

You can create launch packs (goodie bags) that bring the brand and identity system to life. These packs can contain a number of fun, exciting and informative collateral – items such as a ‘spirit of the brand’ book that explains and celebrates the new brand story or merchandise (t-shirts, bags, hoodies, pens, umbrellas etc). An internal launch event gives you a great platform to really celebrate the new brand with the whole team and clients/partners. This can be both physical and digital depending on your businesses location and footprint. Intranets, microsites, and videos are also great ways of launching your brand to employees.
