Advertising and your brand

Question
Is advertising important to building a brand? 
Answer
Yes, advertising can be important to brand building, but not exclusively so.

Many successful brands grow and prosper without traditional media exposure by taking advantage of all points of contact opportunities. Those include:

- Employees, through training programs, manuals, videos, etc.

- Signage, uniforms, delivery trucks, visual merchandising, point of purchase materials

- Your brand's presence on the Internet

Style, graphics, type and language in your communications all aid in telling your brand story and contribute to the solid brand imprint you place in the minds of your market.
