Branding Cheat Sheet: A Quick Guide to the N.C. Cooperative Extension Brand
Building brand identity is how we grow Extension, and how we grow North Carolina.
When people experience firsthand the benefits of Extension, we build trust and value, which stands to elevate everyone who is part of our family. Without clear and consistent branding, that trust and brand value often remains isolated or fragmented, and does little to grow our overall identity and sustainability.
Putting forth a consistent identity and a unified presence will make the N.C. Cooperative Extension brand strong and recognizable.
Our success in creating prosperity for every community in North Carolina is contingent upon how well we all understand the principles and standards of the brand – and how consistently we apply them. There’s great power when many share a consistent voice.
