KOMAN Holdings – Branding and Alignment
KOMAN Holdings is a success story of a small Native Alaskan company. Its leadership recognized the opportunities for a sustained growth and made a plan. Realizing that their marketing materials, web presence, and overall branding was falling short of the needed quality for presentations and statements of qualifications, we started working together on a multi-year phased plan that included:
- Creation of a look to emulate a family of companies for all subsidiaries, yet leaving room for diversity
- Develop logos and business cards that carry one element throughout all subsidiaries
- Templates for all internal and external communications
- Roll-out of the materials and the branding plan internally through a detailed communications plan
- Websites design, domains consolidation, and more
- Support and training for the marketing team to expand on the branding and periodically review it
- Social Medial plan, strategies, content development
- Explore the results here: http://www.komanholdings.com, (Holdings Company) http://www.nativesofkodiak.com (Owner Company) and http://www.komangs.com (Example Subsidiary)
