    Brand Audit Tool: Seamless Branding

    Uploaded by

    sasco30
    This document introduces a brand audit tool to assess how consistently a company presents its brand across different applications. It suggests that a strong brand consists of coordinated elements like messaging, visual style, and tone of voice. The tool allows users to evaluate how seamlessly these elements are integrated into various communications channels, from marketing materials to digital and physical assets. Conducting a brand audit can reveal inconsistencies that undermine a company's unified brand presence. The tool presents brand guidelines implementation as either "always," "sometimes," or "never" to give communications professionals a clear picture of their brand's internal alignment.
