Employment Brand Names and Slogans

One of the crucial elements in building an employment brand is to develop a “theme” that sends a clear brand message to potential candidates. That theme must clearly communicate what working at your firm is all about. One of the best ways to communicate what you are all about is through the use of brand slogans and brand names. In order to be effective, slogans must be short but also compelling and impactful. Over the years I’ve proposed quite a few brand names and slogans to firms, so if you’re looking for one…here’s my list of great employment brand slogans, organized by theme. How We Manage

The Process Develop an overall theme for your campaign and then use several slogans to sell it. Use the slogans on your corporate website and in ads, and try to get executives to use them in their public speeches. Ask your product branding people to help you put together a campaign. It is also wise to tie in any employment slogans in with your product slogans. If you are unsure as to what slogans/names to use, put together focus groups made up of applicants to test them out.
