When I embarked on the journey to create Su-Kam, I understood that a strong brand wasn’t merely a logo or a tagline but a reflection of the company’s soul. However, my initial approach was traditional: focus on the product, the market, and the customer. While these elements are crucial, I soon realized there needed to be a piece that needed to be added: the people behind the brand.
The Power of Internal Branding
My epiphany came when I observed the passion and dedication of my employees. They were the ones who brought Su-Kam to life every day. They were the face of the brand, interacting with customers and representing our values. If I could instil in them a deep understanding and belief in what Su-Kam stood for, they would become our most influential brand ambassadors.
Cultivating a Shared Vision.
We took a unique approach to our marketing materials by featuring our employees as models on our brochures and posters. This not only saved us money on professional modelling fees but also had a significant positive impact on our team. Employees felt a sense of pride and ownership in the company, knowing their faces were being showcased to potential customers and partners. This boosted morale and created a stronger camaraderie among our workforce, making them more likely to become brand ambassadors without additional effort.
To achieve this, I embarked on a journey of internal branding. I started by clearly defining Su-Kam’s mission, vision, and values. These became the guiding principles that would shape our company culture. I communicated these values in every interaction, from team meetings to company-wide events. I encouraged open dialogue, ensuring that everyone felt heard and valued.
Empowering Employees as Brand Champions.
I also empowered my employees to be brand champions. I provided them with the tools and resources they needed to understand our products and services in depth. I encouraged them to share their knowledge with customers internally and externally. By doing so, they became more confident and passionate about representing Su-Kam.
The Results
The impact of this internal branding approach was profound. Employees felt more connected to the company and its mission and were more motivated to go above and beyond in their work. As a result, Su-Kam’s brand reputation strengthened, and customer satisfaction increased.
A Valuable Lesson
My experience with Su-Kam taught me a valuable lesson: a strong brand is built from the inside out. By investing in internal branding, I created a company culture where employees were passionate about what they did and proud to be part of the Su-Kam family. This, in turn, translated into a stronger external brand that resonated with customers and the market.
