Why is Brand Book important?
Which problems may arise when company no Brand Book has?

There are a lot of difficulties that may arise in the absence of Brand Book. The most common examples of them are:
  • Improper use of Logo (e.g. in print materials, on souvenirs)
  • Ignorance of the Corporate Font
  • Change of the colors of Corporate Identity
  • Not considering the target audience peculiarities when positioning or during advertising campaign
All these errors occur because of no clear guidance on the use of the Brand and Corporate Identity attributes.

What are the Brand Book and Guidebook ?
Brandbook is a Guide describing the proper use of the brand, brand attributes and promotion strategy. Also, it contains a description of Key Brand Identifiers: statement of the company's mission, main strategic goals, brand values. Usually Brand Book is only to use inside of the company and not available for public.
In addition to Brandbook, Guidebook and Cut Book could be developed. Guidebook comprises the guidance on the practical implementation of corporate identity elements and contains the rules for the construction and use of branding strategy. Cut Book could be defined as a technical guidance.
