Shaping corporate image and brand recognition

Goal

Shaping positive corporate image; building authoritative brand recognition.

Outcome

User associations are formed: the company is believed to be trustworthy; if I need certain products I will do business with this company.

How is trust in the Internet shaped?

  • People do not particularly trust a web-site; but they may trust comments and recommendations of other people. More recommendations and positive feedback, more authoritative the company looks.
  • A person finds something useful on a web-site; comments, articles, recommendations and other information, shared on the Internet in the name of a company and its employees, sounds valid and competently presents useful information.    
  • Visual images representing a company’s friendly staff. Human factor plays an important role – people are trustworthy, not images of products. Employees represent the link between products and customers. 
  • It’s important to create staff positive image: competent, friendly, professional.
