Before we go begin there is one thing we must make clear, neither your brand nor your branding can be simply defined by your logo.
There is often no real distinction between brand and branding, a common yet sizeable mistake that could cost a business its potential success. The situation is often further clouded by the lack of understanding of many marketing agencies. There is tendency to jump straight into the branding stage before a clear brand has been established, simply because it’s what the client has asked for.
It’s crucial that business owners and marketers understand that you simply cannot start branding a business without having a clear, well-understood brand already in place.
