Brand Audit
First, we get to know you. We will review your school or trust’s brand by completing a brand audit. The purpose of a brand audit is to identify areas where your brand is performing well and areas where it needs improvement. We will also research your local market to see how your school or trust is perceived and what makes your brand unique.
How do you look? We undertake a comprehensive visual audit of your school’s or trust’s current brand identity to assess its strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement. The visual audit involves an onsite or online review of all the elements that make up your school or trust brand, such as a website, school logo, uniform, typography, messaging, and marketing materials.
