Is your brand being trampled on?

People use their own content and design elements and do not stick to the guidelines and branding you have developed and invested in.

"Creative" presentations?

Does it feel like everyone is their own creative director?

Wild email signatures?

Is everyone creating a unique email signature? Are job titles, legal information and campaign banners misaligned company-wide?

Outdated Word templates?

Why is that?

Microsoft Office is for productivity, not brand compliance.
 
And since most employees are not designers, they always choose productivity over brand when in doubt.

Seems like you don’t have one brand, but many?

Isn't it fascinating that we invest a lot of money in building and communicating our brand and then leave it to chance how our brand is conveyed in Microsoft Office documents?

Underestimating brand consistency will cost you.

Almost every asset you send to clients, investors, and other business partners are made in Microsoft 365. Off-brand presentations, proposal documents, and emails confuse customers. This makes you appear unprofessional and untrustworthy.
