Identity by Industry
Your Proprietary Marketing Tool
Throughout the history of commerce, those companies, which have successfully created a
recognizable, memorable identity, have been the survivors. Long before the term
“branding” was coined, the concept was understood in a visceral way. From the
British East India Company of the 17
th century, to the familiar
Arches and Swooshes of the 20
th, entrepreneurs and business
visionaries have long appreciated that image and identity are, quite literally,
everything.
Whether
persuading global trade or exchanging online tweets and Facebook messages, in
today’s fast-paced communications stream it is now more important than ever to
present your organization’s true identity.
Even
though they didn’t study semiotics, the ancient Egyptians and the Druids
understood the language of signs and symbols (hieroglyphics and runes); they
used it to speak volumes. At Caler&Company,
we too understand and speak the language fluently.
Symbols
are universal communicators whose messages cross cultural and linguistic
boundaries. Therein lies the beauty of this language: it’s spoken everywhere.
At Caler&Company, we use the
language of symbols to create corporate and organization signatures that become
more than just a company’s logo; they form entire marketing platforms (signs
and symbols) that speak volumes for our clients.
But
symbols evolve. Take new paths. Find new channels to reach their audience.
Letters and symbols are directly linked to the rise and fall of civilizations.
Throughout history, different cultures have added their own distinct imprint on
the symbols of a language—making it more than visual and defining it as
instantly cognizable to large populations.
Is
your identity flexible? With the world at everyone’s fingertips, your identity
has no dressing room to hide and change wardrobes with each new market. Your
identity has one chance to make a statement. Is it clear? Consistent? Current?
Does it illuminate or obfuscate? Does it reinforce or camouflage your mission
and brand personality?
Whether
starting a company blog, tweeting or joining Facebook, your online avatar has
the ability to impart, in a glance, a compelling synopsis of your organization
in our light-speed world.
