Let's dive into brand guidelines! While they are considered the foundational elements of any company's marketing toolkit, the specific components can vary greatly between firms. In episode 41 of The Shortlist, Becky Ellison and Lauren Jane Peterson, Senior Creative Strategists at Middle of Six, break down the essentials of brand guidelines. They even go beyond the basics and explore the nice-to-have and dreamworld scenarios.
This episode explores everything from defining a brand's personality and voice, how logos should be used, and the need for consistent visual and writing standards across marketing platforms. Becky and Lauren Jane also share tips on how to audit your firm's brand assets, conduct a "search and destroy mission" for non-complaint logos and visuals, and how to rein in a brand without feeling overwhelmed.
