Branding

It all starts here

In 1998, if you were given $1000 and asked to bet on an internet search engine, would you have put your money on a company called ‘InfoSeek’ or one called ‘Google’? Just three years later, InfoSeek ceased to exist. Two decades later, Google is still going strong; it now ranks second in market capitalization, behind Apple but ahead of Microsoft. In June 2006, the company achieved the Holy Grail of marketing: its brand became part of the vernacular when the Oxford English Dictionary officially listed “google” as a verb.

There are no great names, only things that make them great. Google offered a vastly different experience from other search engines in the 1990s – none of which are around today. Larry Page and Sergey Brin started the company with a vision – they were more interested in ‘why’ than ‘what’ or ‘how’. They articulated the things that inspired them and drove their work, and used this to underpin every part of their business and products.

A good brand lives in all aspects of an organization: from design to manufacturing, from sales and marketing to customer service. A good brand inspires trust, both inside and outside the organization. A good brand is not a mystery. It’s not a logo or a website.

The key to building a good brand starts with defining a brand strategy, then building a brand story and ultimately the final architecture. This becomes the roadmap not just for everything that touches the consumer, but also your own internal processes.
