The topic of brands remains on the top agenda in the executive suites of all companies as the "mega-topic par excellence".
The main task of a brand is to differentiate a company with its products and services or the company itself from the competition and to make it unique. Because it is the brand that gives origin and character, creates identity and meaning - and makes corporate services incomparable and relatable.
As a reaction to the "deepening" and "broadening" with regard to the view of the brand, however, for some time now extended requirements and necessities have been placed on the field of activity in the form of holistic brand management, further stakeholders vis-à-vis the brand have been taken into account and the handling of certain challenges of corporate management (e.g. mergers & acquisitions) has also been integrated as a special area in the field of activity of brand management.
From a corporate perspective, however, the hoped-for potential for success of strong brands can only be realized if the need for brand orientation of the entire company is recognized, (corporate) brands are strategically planned, formulated and consistently anchored, both internally and externally.
Strong brands grow from within. Once the strategy has been developed, the top priority is therefore to anchor the brand within the company.
This requires a brand engagement process in which employees from all areas of the company are empowered and motivated not only to keep the brand promise, but to "live" brand values. To this end, employees are involved in the process of brand building, informed about the brand and enthused for the brand in order to ultimately influence their behavior in the sense of the brand.
Every employee should be able to identify with the brand and build up a commitment to it. Internal branding releases forces and increases performance within the company. At the same time, problems and hurdles have to be removed. Silo thinking and a lack of brand-customer orientation often hinder the successful implementation of a brand in the market. This requires a brand-oriented corporate culture, organizational structures and processes.
And it sounds almost simple: A brand is successfully anchored in the company when all employees have understood the brand and act in its spirit. But anyone who has had initial experience with strategy implementations or internal branding knows that it is usually a long and arduous road to this goal!
Internal branding is a set of strategic measures to steer a planned change management process, which must be carried into the organization to ultimately become a permanent task.

How customer- or brand-oriented are your marketing processes and structures? Do you consistently look at the needs of your customers from the perspective of your brand? Processes and structures have often grown historically, but often no longer meet today's requirements.
Professional marketing and brand management requires clear structures and defined processes. We see a high potential for optimization especially in the organizational design of modern marketing and brand management: Responsibilities and roles are often still unclear or areas of responsibility are sometimes distributed among different departments in the company.

We establish clear structures, processes, responsibilities and roles with our clients using proven approaches, thereby minimizing coordination problems and maximizing synergies. This approach saves time, costs, hassle and trench warfare.

From this, we derive concrete optimization potentials for the further development of products and services.

In the battle for skilled workers and applicants, it is becoming increasingly important to position oneself clearly in the market as an employer. The goal of the employer branding strategy is not to increase the number of applications immeasurably, but rather to attract the right employees. "Hire for attitude not for skills" must be the motto. Among the best, select those who really fit your company. An employer branding strategy helps you build an attractive employer brand.
With our expertise in the development of employer branding strategies, we make decisive value contributions to your effective employer brand.

Employer branding is not sole purpose- a strong employer branding strategy increases the quality of incoming job applications, results in stronger long term employee loyalty and reduces employee turnover. This increases the company's performance.
