What’s Your Business? offers a comprehensive pathway through the subject of corporate design clarifying the relationship between corporate design and corporate strategy and the terms identity, brand, image, communication and reputation. The book explores the impact of developing digital technology on brand creation and positioning in a marketplace, through symbolic and coherent design.

A local market trader may buy a van, promote his business on a blackboard and proclaim ’daily special offers’. Corporations use computers, design websites and communicate with global clients through social media. Yet each business started with an idea and developed a distinctive existence. What’s Your Business? helps you turn a business idea into reality by establishing its existence, ethos, message and activities.

By integrating corporate and design strategy with creative inputs Claire Tomlins illustrates the subject’s diversity. She ensures businesses set goals, strategies and plans whilst ensuring they recognise an identity that sparks the corporate design strategy and creative inputs that manifests the company’s aesthetic for marketing purposes; including design management, Intellectual Property topics and measures.

Business people wishing to know how design can provide added value to their organisation will find this book useful, including where they could contribute. Academic concepts and definitions are updated and explanations are provided to business and design students on where each of their skillsets can contribute to a business.

Reviews for What's Your Business?: Corporate Design Strategy Concepts and Processes

'Being in the midst of revamping and rebranding my business, I found this book very useful. I wanted to understand the concept of Corporate Design and its impact and what needed to be considered. The book was very useful from a practical point of view but also very informative in terms of the history and evolution of the concept and the status of design today. ... The book is incredibly thorough and I would highly recommend it to anyone involved in corporate design, either as a consultant or business owner. It would also be very useful as a textbook for students. The chapters are clearly laid out and the headings and sub-sections make it easy as a reference book. I also like the use of the case study which is used throughout the book to demonstrate various elements relating to each chapter. ... I found it a very enjoyable read; was able to learn a lot from it and will definitely use as a reference in the future.' Thora Thorsdottir, specialist transition consultant and owner of T Thorsdottir
