A company brand informs the visual design of materials that all teams create within the company: that’s why sharing your brand guidelines is so important. If you leave employees to their own devices, especially those who aren’t designers by trade, you’ll likely end up with a bunch of off-brand content going out into the world, undermining your branding efforts and the recognizability of your brand.

A brand is recognized by its logo, brand fonts, and brand colors, but those design choices alone don’t make up the whole brand. Your company’s personality, its product offerings, its voice and tone, its packaging, and its social media presence all contribute just as much to your brand’s success. Incorporating unique elements like a custom box mockup or paper bag mockup can further distinguish your brand's packaging, adding another layer to your overall identity. The goal of the brand decisions you make are to create a personality and relay a set of values that resonate with your target audience. Trying to appeal to every person on the planet won’t work, so making bold design decisions and taking calculated risks when it comes to building your brand and values can help you grow your business among your target audience.
