The Importance of Brand Consistency

Brand consistency can help businesses differentiate themselves from the competition, become more memorable and desirable among consumers, and spark growth through authenticity and trust. Although 95% of brands have some form of content guidelines, only 25% regularly enforce them (source: Shutterstock).

A brand consistency checklist can help reflect on your content’s purpose and message. Here are the elements you should examine for variability:

  • Message
  • Target audience
  • Voice
  • Terminology
  • Punctuation writing style

Brand consistency means making sure your words, design, perspective, and offerings all relate to the way you want to express your brand.

B2B Buyers Rank Video Content Types

According to a study by Brightcove and Ascend2, B2B buyers say that the most helpful types of videos when making purchasing decisions are those that educate them on products or services, help them solve or understand problems, and show them what other customers say about services or products. The top types of videos watched by B2B buyers in the last three months are product reviews and demonstrations, tutorials, and live videos.
