DPD Brand Implementation
How do you identify and quantify all your brand touchpoints?
A full audit of your assets will provide a bird’s-eye view of your brand landscape. This provides insights that will help us to plan the best strategic approach to your rollout and to estimate the resources required.
Using a variety of desktop or onsite surveys, we pinpoint exactly the type, location and condition of every branded asset.
This data is carefully captured into a Brand Asset Management system and analysed to provide the planning blueprint for your rollout.
Our detailed reports provide the foundation for your brand implementation. They also leave you with a legacy asset management system that can be easily maintained and kept for future use.
'One size does not fit all. We provide as much or as little support as you need, fully tailoring our brand implementation services to meet your specific requirements.'
Expert programme management ensures your brand is safe in our hands
We act as the single point of contact for your brand implementation programme, coordinating with your internal team to manage suppliers, site planning approvals, brand applications and installations.
For complex branding programmes, our experienced Programme Managers draw upon a variety of project management methodologies such as Agile and Prince2 to ensure a seamless delivery.
Our central Project Management Office (PMO) becomes your engine room – a team of professionals who are driven by detail, devoted to quality control and dedicated to transparent and real-time reporting.

A global rebrand offers the opportunity to refresh – but how do you keep it fresh?
A rebrand or refresh provides the ideal opportunity to set up an ecosystem for the ongoing management of your brand.
Our systematic approach includes:
The data we capture is carefully stored and analysed, becoming the driving force for your brand ecosystem.
Automation plays a vital role in auto-generating updates – renewal reminders, maintenance programme schedules, supplier orders. Our detailed reporting ensures that your team can efficiently manage your brand as you move forward.
With a greater dependence on digital solutions, updates are much easier. Where big-ticket physical items are still needed, for example, signage or wayfinding, we select modular product solutions that are easy to update, rather than replace. Helping to save the planet and costs.

A thorough brand audit crafts a detailed roadmap for resource allocation and flawless brand implementation.
Effective implementation begins with a crystal-clear understanding of your desired outcomes. As McKinsey & Company’s “The Value of Value Creation” emphasizes, clearly defined goals serve as the driving force for maximizing business value. Whether it’s achieving market leadership, igniting customer loyalty, or driving sustainable growth, pinpoint your “why” with unwavering clarity. This foundational element sets the stage for establishing your key performance indicators (KPIs) – the quantifiable metrics that track your progress and ensure every implementation decision propels you towards your strategic north star.
Before embarking on any transformative journey, we need a clear picture of where we stand. Enter the brand audit, your key to unlocking the secrets of your brand identity. Think brochures, billboards, websites, social media – every tangible and intangible piece that shapes your voice. As Harvard Business Review’s “How to Build a Global Brand” (2007) reminds us, meticulously categorizing and quantifying these assets is the foundation for success. This deep dive equips you with more than just budgetary and timeline clarity; it crafts a detailed roadmap for resource allocation and flawless brand implementation.
'Before embarking on any transformative journey, we need a clear picture of where we stand. Enter the brand audit, your key to unlocking the secrets of your brand identity.''
A thriving brand isn’t built solely on marketing budgets and design guidelines but on the hearts and minds of its employees. Yet, achieving successful brand implementation steps requires more than just employee participation; it demands a transformation from passive compliance to passionate advocacy.
The insight report ‘How to Turn Your Employees into Brand Champions’ by Morhart and Herzog’s (2010) offers invaluable guidance on their new leadership approach:
You cultivate a chorus of enthusiastic champions by implementing these successful brand implementation steps. Each voice adds vibrant harmony to the brand’s symphony, propelling your transformation from the inside out.
This revision not only seamlessly integrates your key phrase but also reinforces the connection between transformational leadership and successful brand implementation. Remember, the secret to brand triumph lies in inspiring, empowering, and unleashing the passion of your people. So, embrace the transformational path, ignite the spark of advocacy, and let your brand shine through the voices of its most dedicated champions!
Establish a dedicated PMO (project management office), the linchpin of your implementation. Gartner’s “Your Detailed Guide to the 2024 Gartner Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends” emphasises the crucial role of technology-driven platforms in streamlining brand management. Consider implementing user-friendly dashboards and automated workflows to ensure centralised oversight, consistent brand application, and seamless execution. Don’t forget sustainability! Opt for eco-conscious materials, prioritise refurbishment over replacement, and explore localised manufacturing solutions. Your brand can be a market leader and an environmental champion, not a wasteful monolith.
A rebrand or brand refresh often signals a fresh start so don’t be afraid to use the opportunity, with both employees and customers, to firmly put your brand on the map and in their hearts.
No brand implementation is without its challenges, but you can consider it a success if:
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to brand implementation but if you are facing a rebrand or brand refresh program, I hope this proves to be a good start.
