Brand identity has become such an important part of marketing that it is virtually impossible to identify even a single successful company that has not invested heavily in their brand.

Brands function as "memory markers," allowing potential customers to quickly tap into an emotional, logical, and cultural experience associated with a brand. A brand is not just a logo, but logos, slogans, color palettes and materials that together create a visual representation that foretells the customer experience and identifies your business.
