Mediums

The brand should be used effectively across different mediums and channels. Its usage should be cohesive and appropriate for the intended end product, including print and digital properties. A few considerations to keep in mind:

  • Consider all elements and expressions of the brand across mediums — color, identity, photography, messaging, typography, products, motion, print, etc.
  • Consider mail/production costs and timing as well as cross-promotion such as QR codes, landing pages, CTAs and accompanying web articles
  • To stand out, evaluate the use unexpected forms and paper
  • Tap into creativity when thinking about the message — does it need to be print, or could this exist as something digital (low production, high value)?
  • Evaluate reuse — will the end product be evergreen, have extended shelf life across multiple projects? Are there assets that already exist that could be repurposed?
  • Measure ROI and data — will the effort put in balance what's gained for return, and align with strategic plan and revenue goals?
