Interbrand’s brand valuation methodology provides a rich analysis of brands and is based on 10 brand strength factors. These 10 brand strength factors where redesigned by the Interbrand Zurich office and optimized to work across different platforms and environments (digital and print).

The evolution of the existing icon set should not only be visually aligned with the Interbrand website, but also look simple and positive, speak an abstract language and work in static as well as in motion. Thereby, I redesigned most of the new Icons in partnership with my team members and additionally animated them afterwards.

Clarity

Clarity internally about what the brand stands for in terms of its values, positioning and proposition.  Clarity too about target audiences, customer insights and drivers. Because so much hinges on this, it is vital that these are articulated internally and shared across the organization.

Commitment

Internal commitment to the brand, and a belief internally in its importance. The extent to which the brand receives support in terms of time and influence.

Governance

The degree to which the organization has the required skills and an operating model for the brand that enables effective and efficient deployment of the brand strategy.

Responsiveness

The organization’s ability to constantly evolve the brand and business in response to, or anticipation of, market changes, challenges and opportunities.

Authenticity

The brand is soundly based on an internal truth and capability.  It has a defined story and a well grounded value set.  It can deliver against the (high) expectations that customers have of it.

Relevance

The fit with customer/consumer needs, desires, and decision criteria across all relevant demographics and geographies.

Differentiation

The degree to which customers/ consumers perceive the brand to have a differentiated proposition and brand experience.

Consistency

The degree to which a brand is experienced without fail
across all touchpoints or formats.

Presence

The degree to which a brand feels omnipresent and is talked about positively by consumers, customers and opinion formers in both traditional and social media.

Engagement

The degree to which customers/consumers show a deep understanding of, active participation in, and a strong sense of identification with, the brand.
