what is a brand?... A brand platform, or corporate image, is the set of associations that customers make with your company or organisation.

CFA’s main audience groups (breakout)... Government agencies/departments Training providers Employers
brand platform... Brand identity Our name and how we present ourselves visually. This includes our logo, the colours used, typography and any graphical devices or strap lines. It also includes the types of image we use. Brand promise Summarises what our organisation stands for, how it’s distinctive, and why anyone should be interested in us. It provides direction and a focus to how we approach our work and how we communicate internally and externally. Brand values Principles that govern how people behave and make decisions. They represent fundamental beliefs that are shared by people in the organisation and should be reflected in how we present ourselves. Our values reflect our behaviour and the behaviours of others working within the organisation. Tone of Voice Defines the distinctive way our organisation speaks to its constituents. It provides criteria against which all communications must be measured.
case study... Brand Promise Nothing Is Impossible In our work we believe nothing is impossible. This approach drives everything we do. We’re not limited by what we can’t do; we focus on what we can do. No matter what difficulty you’re in, there is always a way forward. Together, with hard work and unrelenting perseverance, we find a way out and a way up. Our steadfast purpose, determination and optimism means there is always hope. With XXX you will believe that nothing is impossible too.
case study... Brand values NON-JUDGMENTALWe are fair and equitable. We say what we do and do what we say. We have nothing to hide, we are non-judgmental, we are collaborative. FEARLESSWe confront issues and fight for the people on the fringes of society. We stand up for what is right and we are fearless of change. ORIGINALWe constantly look to do things differently and in a better way. We always strive to be original, breaking the habitual approach of our sector. RESULTS DRIVENWe value outcomes and what we can achieve not necessarily the process. Effective results are what matters most to our service users, our commissioners and to us.
case study... Tone of voice DOWN TO EARTHWe use everyday language and avoid jargon, acronyms and language that our audiences won’t understand. CONFIDENTWe are confident in what we say- we have over 200 years of history, we are experts in our field. PRACTICALWe are constructive, we find solutions not problems, we say what we can do. OPTIMISTICWe are positive, we have hope, focus on what we can do not what we can’t do.
