Financial services marketing has been slow to understand that establishing a strong brand identity is important to a company's long-term success. For financial services organizations, just like those selling refrigerators or corn flakes, brand image is a fundamental set of brand attributes that express a company's marketplace persona. To create a strong brand identity, financial marketing initiatives need:
Brand Messaging—cohesive, consistent brand messaging that focuses on communicating a company's key brand attributes
Brand Signature—distinctive visual and verbal brand elements that are immediately identifiable with the company and the differentiated products and services it offers.
