CORPORATE IDENTITY
A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn a reputation by trying to do difficult things well.
Corporate identity is the constitutive set of tangible and intangible elements that characterise the company and define its recognisability on the market, the values and behavioural models that it intends to promote, and its role in relation to the needs that it intends to satisfy.
A consistent identity is essential as it allows you to be remembered and recognized, distinguishing yourself and building a solid and lasting relationship with the public more easily.
