Readers Digest says… “trust is built on the traditional foundations of quality, consistency, honesty and delivering on your promise.”
Trust is not a value or a positioning, it is not one audience or one dimensional. Trust is one brand, people first.
At The Healthy Brand Company, we believe that people and brands are two of your company’s most valuable assets. Organisations are prevented from realising their value due to lack of alignment between: purpose and values of people and company; corporate, customer and employer strategies and brands; operational silos; the promise and delivery of experiences. Brands that struggle to be trusted are not aligned within or outside the organisation.
Whether your brand architecture is house of brands or branded house, building trust requires aligning people – customers, employees, stakeholders – and brands – corporate, customer and employer brands – around a common purpose, values and idea; empowering and energising your people to consistently and authentically deliver against the brand promise across every touch-point.
