Let’s say you’ve dug in and done the work to develop messaging that is clear and centric to who you are trying to reach. You’ve spent hours working with a designer to create all the aspects of your visual identity.

When it comes to any aspect of your media, you will face circumstances like this.

You will have to take steps to enforce your new brand to see full implementation of your idea.
