When we started consulting nearly 30 years ago, few industrial organisations appreciated or cared about 'branding'; but things have changed.

Manufacturers, technology firms, engineers, and service providers - now increasingly understand the power of branding as an 'intangible' asset contributing to company value and as a means of building share of voice.

Branding (or brand identity) is more than just a logo (or trademark), it is the collective understanding and perception of your company by the people that comprise your target market - not one mind but many.

It's more than just achieving a share of mind; it's also about being understood. The logo and consistent use of other brand elements (typefaces, visual themes and colour palette) provide a distinctive identity for your business that aids in brand recall.

The careful orchestration of your brand values and capabilities through corporate behaviours and marketing communications shapes the market's collective understanding and perception of your organisation. Branding is central to your marketing strategy.

At JWPM, we assist industrial organisations to develop their brand strategy, beginning with an understanding of the current brand positioning - and aspiration, conducting brand research within customer segments, and attributing brand values and brand personality, through to the selection and design of suitable brand identity; we have expertise in industrial branding.

If you need justification for why you should invest in industrial branding consider this; tender evaluation is strongly influenced by brand perception.

JWPM provides a comprehensive suite of services to ensure that you project a winning image...

• Brand research and testing, including competitive positioning
• Brand positioning strategies - brand values, brand personality
• Brand communications

• Development of company logos, corporate identity material

In many industrial markets, with multiple competing brands across various product and service categories, a key driver for a company’s future success will be continued brand awareness and engagement. Brand Engagement goes hand in hand with Customer Engagement and Customer Experience in helping to create a deeply emotional and rational connection between business and customer.

Branding seeks to create a differentiated offering, to shift and shape perceptions of the organisation within its customer base.
