Building a Unique Internal Brand to Ignite Corporate Culture and Amplify Employee Connection to a Company’s External Brand
Employees are an organization's most trusted source of insight when it comes to promoting the brand to outsiders. A Gallup study showed that less than 30% of employees believe in the brand that employs them. This gap can harm a company's brand reach, diminish customer service or delivery, and affect productivity and employee morale.
Several of our clients faced the challenge of building a unique and compelling internal identity for their organizations that would effectively transform employees into willing brand advocates. Zeevo Group’s Creative Services team collaborated with management to utilize our visibility-building expertise to create a positive internal brand strategy along with visual assets that connected employees to clients’ external brands.
