How to improve the corporate image of your company

14 September 2021Strategies

Maintaining a corporate image for your company is a very important issue in the industrial sector, since in addition to playing a very important role in achieving good performance and success in the market, it represents all your brand values, corporate colours and graphic elements, that is to say, it shows your corporate identity and visual identity. 

Note, they are not the same thing and we must know how to differentiate between corporate image, corporate identity and visual identity:

Corporate image or brand image is how users see you, that is to say, what they think about your brand. On the other hand, corporate identity is what your industrial company wants to convey about itself, such as its essence and its values, and it is what is normally dealt with in a corporate identity manual. Finally, the visual identity of a brand is the graphic design part of the corporate identity, that is, the visual elements beyond the name of the company.
