INTRODUCTIONTHE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING & MAINTAINING THE AUSTRALIAN VERIFIED BUSINESS BRAND

The Australian Verified Business brand is an expression of the company’s vision and values. By effectively and consistently delivering the brand message, Australian Verified Business will be able to direct how a prospect, customer, and the industry view this independent brand. The Australian Verified Business brand will differentiate our client’s apart from their competition by conveying that they are a quality and trusted business.

Branding begins with you. It is important that you remain committed to promoting the brand. The best way to communicate who we are and what we do is to use the Australian Verified Business brand identity effectively in visuals.

Our brand identity conveys our positioning and personality externally and internally. You help build the value of our company through careful and consistent communications that reflect our corporate positioning and our brand identity. Familiarize yourself with the guidelines included in this document. If vendors, partners, or Australian Verified Business employees use our brand incorrectly, it exposes the Australian Verified Business brand to serious and costly legal risks.

In essence, it prevents Australian Verified Business from being able to take strong legal action against any parties that might try to undermine our brand. Your strict adherence to these guidelines will always serve our business needs well, and they will assist legal efforts to protect the Australian Verified Business brand.
