Brand management system and brand book

A brand management system is the set of rules, documents and processes that keeps a brand consistent after it has been designed. Through brand books, audience research, customer experience models, and brand equity and touchpoint management systems, TUSI helps organizations run their brand themselves.

A brand without a guardian drifts

Over the years, without oversight, Megamotor’s visual identity had drifted, with every element going its own way. It is the story of many organizations: the brand is designed with care, but once it is delivered, no one is responsible for looking after it.

At the Tadbir group, with around 100 subsidiaries, consistency was only possible through brand books and usage guidelines. A brand management system turns that logic from a document into a way of working.

01

Clear rules

Everyone should know how and where the brand is used.

02

Clear ownership

Every brand needs an owner and a decision process.

03

Ongoing measurement

Brand health should be visible and tracked, not only in a crisis.

“Our organizations have paid for the map. They haven’t hired anyone to watch over it yet.”
