Corporate Branding: how to build a corporate identity

The path to creating a brand and its success goes through several steps, indispensable for building the relationship with the customer.
Authenticity, belonging, differentiation – three fundamental aspects for creating a brand of value.

Branding, all the activities that contribute to creating a brand, and among these certainly design, translates into connecting things, products, and services with an idea, which then materializes into a visual and verbal identity; it is a powerful tool for companies that often allows them to better define, change perceptions, and behaviors.

But what exactly constitutes a brand? We can say that it is something capable of going beyond the characteristics of the product or service it identifies, while simultaneously conveying function and meaning. Brand Identity is therefore the construction of a narrative around a product or service, its visual and content-based representation, which is built over time. A “sustainable” journey of facts, signs, words, style, and colors that must create a unique personality and immediate recognizability.

Brand Identity is fundamental in the growth process of a company because it defines an image about the people, allowing them to know what to expect from the brand itself.

The brand and the corporate brand identity, in fact, allow you to stand out from your competitors and clarify what your offering consists of, but above all, they explain why a customer should choose that company and those products.

The task of a Brand Identity agency like RBA Design is to help the client define and identify their Brand Identity, starting from the brand strategy, outlining the unmistakable brand hallmarks, the true assets of their visual heritage, and moving on to the language. An important and delicate process that requires method and experience, but which, if properly developed, represents an important strategic commercial value in the long term.

Yes, value! Indeed, let’s not forget the importance of intangible value. According to a recent S&P study, the monetary value of intangible assets has grown from 17 to 80% over 30 years: the majority of these were brands, which have been able to create a strong emotional connection with customers through recognition, personalization, aspiration, belonging, trust, always through authenticity, clarity and uniqueness, elements indispensable in the construction of any corporate brand identity project.
