What a Brand Audit Involves
A brand audit is a comprehensive evaluation that examines both internal and external aspects of a brand. It uncovers how the brand is perceived, how it performs across channels, and where improvements can be made to enhance its value and impact.
Our Brand Audit Process
Defining Objectives
We begin by clarifying the purpose of the audit:
- What are the business’s goals?
- Are they preparing for a rebrand?
- Do they want to assess brand perception, identify inconsistencies, or optimize positioning?
Collecting Internal Insights
We review internal assets to understand the brand from within:
- Company Documents: Analyze mission and vision statements, existing brand guidelines, marketing materials, customer service reports, and sales data.
- Stakeholder Interviews: Speak with internal teams (leadership, marketing, sales, customer support) to gather diverse insights on brand values, messaging, and performance.
Gathering External Feedback
We evaluate how the brand is perceived externally:
- Customer Research: Conduct surveys, interviews, or focus groups to understand awareness, perception, satisfaction, and loyalty.
- Competitor Analysis: Review competitor branding strategies, messaging, design elements, and customer experience.
- Market Analysis: Examine industry trends and shifts that may influence brand relevance.
- Digital Presence Audit: Assess the brand’s website, social media, online reviews, and overall digital reputation.
Data Analysis
We interpret the data to extract key insights:
- Strengths: What’s working well? What assets or advantages does the brand have?
- Weaknesses: Where are the gaps or inconsistencies?
- Opportunities: What areas offer potential for growth or differentiation?
- Threats: What external risks or challenges may affect the brand?
Evaluating Brand Identity
We analyze the consistency and effectiveness of brand elements:
- Visual Identity: Assess logo, typography, color schemes, and imagery for coherence and relevance.
- Brand Messaging: Evaluate the tone, clarity, and consistency of communications across touchpoints.
- Positioning: Understand how the brand is positioned relative to competitors and target audience expectations.
- Brand Experience: Review the full customer journey to assess brand delivery across channels and interactions.
