Strong brand communication delivers real results

Several studies show that a strong, consistent communication strategy can be decisive in terms of defending your position in the market and attracting new customers. When we all follow in the same track – use the same layout, employ the same photos and highlight the same messages – the customer eventually identifies the brand as a mature and trustworthy partner.

On the right we have gathered a list of findings that support the notion that strong branding leads to strong revenues.

  • 1. The enterprise has more leverage than the product 

    A recent survey* on people’s willingness to buy or endorse something shows that companies get recommended 10-12% more than their actual products. This indicates that marketing communication should place the company’s brand values and design strategy ahead of the product category.

  • 2. Reputation increases potential sale

    A recent survey* on the relationship between a company’s reputation based on four parameters – esteem, trust, feeling and admiration – and its potential sale shows that the potential almost doubles, when the reputation score improves from 70 to 80.

  • 4. Brand reputation makes a company more resilient

    Following the financial crises in 08, global companies are still struggling to keep their value due to low profits and slow sales. However, companies that have managed to improve or maintain a high reputation amongst consumers has been awarded by the investors and now experience an increase in value in an almost stagnant market.*

Our experience is that brands whose purpose and products respond to that demand – sustainable living brands – are delivering stronger and faster growth.

These brands accounted for half the company’s growth in 2014 and grew at twice the rate of the rest of the business.
