A brand bible is essential for any company. As a digital agency, it’s important to have a brand bible in place for your business and for you to be equipped to create and implement one for your clients. On Globital TV, our YouTube channel, we discuss brand bibles as well as the important components they should include.
What Is A Brand Bible?
A brand bible can be treated as a cheat sheet full of all the information anyone could ever need about a company. Your digital agency may need a brand bible to share with potential partners and resources, or you may be tasked with creating one for your clients. A brand bible should consist of all the elements of a brand and, specifically, its visual identity. A brand bible’s guidelines typically cover the following:
- Company logos, the right colours, sizes, alternatives or variations and rules of use
- Approved fonts and typography to be used for headers and body text, as well as specific looks and sizes to be used
- Colour palettes to be used for both print material and online
- The tone of voice and writing style to be used in any written content
- Any approved images to be used in relation to the brand
- Social media guidelines for overall strategies as well as specific guidelines for individual platforms
Who Needs A Brand Bible?
Any business, no matter the size, needs to have a brand bible in place. A brand bible provides valuable insight into the company as a whole and will help keep its goals, identity and mission clearly defined. With a brand bible in place, the company’s foundations are clearly established, and as the company grows, it will stay on target. As a digital agency, it is essential to have a brand bible in place to ensure that each member of your team is on the same page and knows what is expected of them. It will also help ensure that every piece of content and media related to your agency meets and is a representation of your digital agency’s high standards.
The Benefits Of Your Digital Agency Having A Brand Bible
Having a brand bible in place can be beneficial for your digital agency in many ways, including:
