Online branding

Online branding develops and communicates an offering’s identity through digital channels and customer experiences. It includes consistent messages, design, service and interaction across relevant platforms. Compared with one-way advertising, public feedback and rapid sharing can amplify both positive and adverse experiences.

Worked example

A business aligns its website, social-media responses and online support with its service promise, while responding honestly to complaints rather than deleting every unfavourable comment.

Common mistake

Treating online branding as posting a logo or assuming communication can permanently compensate for poor delivery.
