<title><![CDATA[Process for Brand and Web Strategy Development]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-style: italic;">By Arve Overland, CEO + Executive Creative Director</span><br /><br />Whether you cater to people in the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) or the Business-to-Business (B2B) market segments, your customer relationships begin at the first encounter with your brand— and today that often comes from an online action such as from a web-search response, online campaigns, social media marketing (SMM), news stories, press releases, or other online communications that drives visitors to your website. Every click from that brand encounter should prove relevant to your visitor and strengthen your brand.<br /><br />Defining and developing a strong brand is not optional. And to develop a resilient brand, you must follow carefully crafted steps, checks and balances in a well-defined process. Branding is a science as much as an art form.<br /><br />This whitepaper shares our proven process for developing and strengthening your brand and web strategy. <br /><br /><a href="/App_Content/files/OA_WP_Brand_Web_V1.pdf" title="Download the Brand and Strategy Whitepaper">Download the Brand &amp; Strategy Whitepaper</a><br /><br />]]></description>
