The Brand Book is a bi-annual publication created and published by Create Inc. We tailor each edition to a different theme based on current industry topics and common client challenges. It features articles written by both in-house experts and guest contributors alongside helpful resources. It's designed to provide insight, show different perspectives, motivate readers, and illustrate the genuine value brand and communications bring to businesses.
Volume IV of the Brand Book is called "Shades of Change: Fear or Opportunity". It's centred around the inevitability of change and the importance of building a resilient brand in order to adapt and succeed. Some change is forced upon businesses and some change is initiated by them. This edition looks at both situations, offering perspectives from guest contributors and advice from our experts on how businesses can be both steady and agile in adapting to change. It also features resources such as the AI prompt you need to find out what people might be finding out about you, and how to find out your reputation gap.
The Brand Book is written for business professionals who work across marketing, communications, culture, business strategy, and operations. It's written predominantly for B2B, investor-facing companies, but much of the advice is applicable to wide range of business types. We work with C-suite level professionals, so much of the advice we share is aimed at senior decision makers.
