Brand Management
For brand managers, protecting brand integrity and reputation are top priorities. Growing brand trust, value, and recognition starts with making the right brand assets accessible, communicating clear guidelines, and enabling on-brand re-use.
Only when brand assets are centralized, can they be distributed to internal and external parties in a consistent, efficient way.

What does brand asset management do?
To understand what makes a brand management system so valuable, here are five key features that your brand management software should provide:
A central repository for brand assets
The key to a strong brand management system is making sure the solution is readily accessible and convenient for both internal and external stakeholders to access the content they need, when they need it — ideally from one central place.
The ability to create and manage brand guidelines
The brand management software should have functionality that allows organizations to manage and update brand guidelines, helping to drive brand consistency and the correct usage of branded assets.
Tailor access rights and permissions
The ability for brand management software to determine and restrict who has access to different brand assets is key to making sure that no content falls into the wrong hands or is changed without approval.
Scale and automate brand asset creation
Relevant stakeholders need to be able to take design-approved brand templates and customize them for a local audience without starting from scratch or using branding in an unapproved way. To learn more about this functionality, check out Bynder’s Studio.
What are 3 examples of brand assets?
Brand assets are key elements that shape a company's identity and foster brand recognition. Three essential examples of brand assets include a logo, color palette, and brand guidelines.
The logo acts as the visual representation of a brand, instantly recognizable and communicating its essence.
The color palette comprises a carefully selected range of colors that evoke specific emotions and create a consistent visual identity across various brand materials.
Brand guidelines serve as a comprehensive document outlining the correct usage of the logo, colors, typography, and other visual elements.
These assets work together to create a cohesive brand identity, ensuring consistency and establishing a strong visual presence in the minds of consumers.
How do I select the best brand management software for my needs?
Brands come in all shapes and sizes, including the content they’re distributing. So a necessary first step is to really lock down what your organization’s specific needs are from a brand management solution, and what problems you hope to solve with it.
We recommend using the following questions as a guide and to reference when comparing different brand management system vendors:
- Why exactly am I looking for brand management software?
- What type of brand assets do I ordinarily work with?
- Who will be using the brand management software?
- Can the brand management solution be integrated with other software my company uses?
- What’s my budget?
