Does your corporate space match your branding strategy?
The growth of your company has implemented certain corporate branding strategies that need to be reinforced. It’s now time for change in your company’s environment that further reflects your branding strategies. There are ways to apply applications of corporate branding strategies to commercial interior design. A branded environment transforms corporate spaces into a three-dimensional embodiment of its brand. The space itself has the power to reinforce a company’s position, communicating to its employees and clients its identity.
Integrating a Branding Strategy
By incorporating a branding strategy into your design, the environment will exemplify your company’s vision, mission and values to your employees, clients and business associates. Certain components such as the layout, finishing materials, lighting, environmental graphics, signage, furniture and architectural elements can be changed to reflect your brand. The idea is to get all these elements to work together to create a physical and sensory relationship with your employees and customers. The branded environment enables people to touch, explore and engage with your brand. It’s an experience beyond advertising and print. Three-dimensional branding has the power to spark human connection, trigger pride and motivation, and create a sense of excitement, engagement and ownership.
“Spaces have the potential to communicate the character of a company. As soon as we enter a space, it creates a first impression, and this is something we can harness as part of a marketing strategy. Space becomes a powerful three-dimensional means of communication.”
