And, that's a big problem, simply because unattended brands don't remain static. A brand requires the same care and workings as other functions like sales, operations and marketing in a company. Without care and attention, brands ultimately lose their charm & power to drive benefits for the company.

Well-managed and effective brands keep their customers informed, motivated, engaged and make positive impressions on them while stale brands create lingering doubts about the company, it’s products and services.
Why Creating a Strong Brand Profile is More Important in the Digital Age? Even in the digital age branding is important because it determines you search rankings in the major search engines. Better the brand position, more loyal customers, better would be your search engine rank position. We have a complete article on this “Branding – Why Is it Important for A Business?” Though, a whole literature can be written around branding and creating strong brand profile for the business, but to keep it short I would just enumerate important points which should be taken care to create a strong brand profile.
Elements of Creating a Strong Brand Profile Below are the elements to create a strong brand profile for your brand. Logo A logo is a visual representation of your company, your mission and your brand. But since your company and mission may change a little over time, your logo needs to be periodically updated and refreshed to be aligned with your company’s mission and your brand’s promise. But, do not forget to maintain the distinctive elements that have historically connected the logo to your company. For example, if you want to change the fonts in your logo don’t drop the other elements like colours, crest, or registered trademarks with the new logo. Taglines Taglines describe the brand’s promise they make to their customers. Right and meaningful taglines become an integral part of a brand’s identity. For example, most people immediately identify the phrase "A Diamond is Forever" with the DeeBeers brand created in 1948. But, small and medium-size business taglines don't normally have the longevity of DeeBeers and need to be updated to reflect the brand's current value

proposition. For example, Ford’s 2008 campaign “Drive One,” though relatively successful in its simplicity and direct call-to-action, is not as effective as Ford’s newest advertising effort, “Go Further.” The newer slogan retains the simplicity, and yet includes a subtle promise of superiority for consumers, an improvement that seems to embody shades of the brand’s push for recognition as one of the contenders in the “Fuel Efficiency” conversation, safety, comfort in the world of automobiles. Web Presence A company’s web presence is an important part of their brand. If you are not on the web you simply don’t exist. Create a strong brand profile on the web to engage with your customers. A strong brand profile on the web leverages the brand to create an effective communication and online conversion path for both the brand and its customers. Always keep your website updated with latest technologies, information and contact details so that customers can reach out to you in case they need help. Marketing Collateral With so much buzz about the online marketing channels, businesses sometimes overlook brand presence in marketing collateral, and that’s a deadly mistake. Brochures, letter heads, office branding, stationery, print ads and even business cards are very important branding tools that need to be periodically reviewed and modified to maintain consistency and increase impact.
