Brand Assessment Tool

Your Problem

You are about to start a branding initiative and need to understand how you can improve the brand. It is required that you conduct a self-assessment of your brand.

Our Solution

We created the Brand Assessment Tool to evaluate your organization from a branding perspective. This is a beneficial tool to utilize when conducting a self-assessment audit.

In the Brand Assessment Tool, the first step is to rate your compliance with best practices across the following key dimensions: Brand Strategy, Brand Alignment, Brand Communication, and Brand Execution.

In the self-assessment tab, you will find a series of examples of best practices. After you have rated your company in the self-assessment tab, you will be provided with a visual representation of your score. You will also be provided with high-level recommendations for ways to improve upon areas where your company did not rate as well.
