WHAT IS BRAND IDENTITY?
Brand Identity is the allocation of all the brand elements a company where a company has to portray its right and positive image of itself to the consumer (deBara, 2018) . Brand Identity is what makes the company immediately recognizable to their target customers. Essentially the audience will affiliate the company’s brand identity with their product and services (deBara, 2018) . The same brand identity is what makes contact between the company and the consumer. This help build customer loyalty and shows how consumers will identify a company’s brand (deBara, 2018) .
Adidas’ brand identity includes logos with the 3 stripes, captivating websites, colors and packaging just to name a few. It complements and bolsters the current reputation of a brand. A company’s positive brand identity brings in new customers and keeps existing ones secure and loyal. Adidas knows that it is fundamental that their brand identity is consistent in a competitive marketplace. Adidas’ brand identity is very appropriate and the brand continues to show its support in sports. Although they a more known as a sporting brand, Adidas is also involved in the fashion and lifestyle arena. I love the brand and am a frequent buyer of the brand. Now I have the sudden urge to purchase a pair of their sneakers LOL!!! I wear my Adidas everywhere, school, church, grocery, dates, limes I wish I can to work though!
