Streamlining Brand Management: AI's Role in Consistency and Efficiency
Artificial Intelligence in Brand Consultancy: Ensuring Uniformity and Legality
Ever felt like your brand's consistency is slipping through your fingers? Well, you're not alone. A whopping 77% of respondents in a Marq survey admit to encountering off-brand content within their companies [1]! But what does this mean for your brand's reputation and revenue? The answer is simple: inconsistency hurts trust.
In fact, a consistent brand image bolsters your bottom line, contributing between 10-20% to a company's revenue growth, as found in the same study [1]. Yet, with scattered teams, multifarious communication channels, and varying interpretations of brand guidelines, ensuring uniformity seems like an uphill battle. Cue Brand Advisory — your new Superman!

AI's Super Powers in Brand Management
- AI-Powered Asset Management Systems
Think of Brand Asset Management Systems (BAM) as the Fortress of Solitude for your brand assets. These systems house your brand's image, from logos to marketing materials, ensuring they're easily accessible and up-to-date. AI-powered BAM systems take things a step further, offering features like natural language search, automated tagging, improved analytics, and predictions for asset performance [2].
- Automated Compliance Checks
Think of compliance checks as your brand's vigilantes, keeping an eye out for any faults in your assets. Utilizing AI, these tools can analyze design elements, colors, fonts, and tone of voice, flagging inconsistencies and breaches [2]. Some tools can even scrutinize the content of images for violations of brand communication guidelines, like nudity or diversity and inclusion policy breaches [2].
Do AI-powered checks have the potential to fully replace human-eye reviews? While they can significantly reduce the time spent in basic branding assessments, they have limitations. They can only process certain file formats and struggle with understanding broader contexts of usage or offering creative recommendations [2].
- Brand Chatbots
Imagine a brand expert available 24/7 to answer all your queries. Sounds like a dream team? Welcome to the reality of Brand Advisory with AI! Integrating brand guidelines with AI models, like Chat GPT, creates custom chatbots to answer day-to-day queries about brand guidelines, their applications, and creative recommendations. Initial queries can be addressed by a chatbot, with human brand experts stepping in for complex advice [3].
With AI steps and Brand Advisory hand-in-hand, consistency becomes an achievable superpower for your brand. So buckle up, and let AI help you maintain brand harmony while you focus on setting new records.
