The benefits

The brand portal as style guide 2.0

The brand portal is the contemporary further development of a well-known style guide. It ensures uncomplicated communication between all parties involved and makes it possible to call up brand information such as CD guides, images or other brand elements at any time.

By using the brand portal, we have managed to optimise our communication in terms of time and content. Our employees and service providers have come to appreciate the portal as a central point of contact for the creation and retrieval of brand documents.

The workflows

Thanks to brand portal all information in one place

In a brand portal all relevant information regarding the brand appearance can be found daily. On the company side, the brand portal is enriched with design specifications, communication guidelines and best practice examples. Employees, service providers and sales can view this information via the brand portal and continue working with the information relevant to them. This streamlines communication channels and ensures uniform standards.

The complete solution for the optimal brand portal

Your brand is your capital. That is why it is important to position it as strongly as possible. A brand portal ensures that this succeeds successfully. Whether throughout Germany, on a local level or internationally: With the help of a brand portal, you control service providers specifically via a central node and ensure that every user has access to all relevant information on a daily basis. Changes to user rights or guidelines for your corporate language can be adapted using the central administration tool. This ensures successful communication and a strong presence for your brand!

The digital portal with a uniform log-in is accessible to users at any time, regardless of location, and enables the smooth handling of all brand appearance information. Access rights defined by you make it possible to control who works with which information. In this way your company is optimally protected against data misuse. An ISO-27001-certified data center guarantees unbeatable data security. The brand portal can be individually and company-specific adapted to your needs and thus enables optimal results that are oriented to the requirements of your employees.
