What is Branding? And, Why is it Important for Your Business?

By definition, branding is the process involved in creating a unique name, image, and overarching identity for a product or service in the consumers’ mind, mainly through advertising campaigns and marketing programs with a consistent theme. Branding aims to establish a significant and differentiated presence in the market that attracts and retains loyal customers.

This is crucial for any business, because of the overall impact it has on your company. Branding can change how people perceive your brand, and even interact with it. When done well, branding can drive new business by increasing brand awareness, which, in turn, elevates marketshare and margins.
