A Strong Brand Enhances Investor Confidence

Investors seek companies with a proven, loyal customer base that has growth potential.

Effective corporate branding helps create an emotional connection with customers, leading to consumer loyalty and business stability.

More than 80% of buyers—regardless of age, gender, and income—claim that brand affinity is a decisive factor in their purchasing decisions. When customers feel a connection with a brand, over half of them are willing to increase their spending, and three-quarters will choose it over a competitor. This means that well-developed brands are better at engaging their audience, especially in unstable market conditions and economic downturns.

Research by German economist Gregor Dorfleitner indicates that "the stock value of well-known brands significantly outperforms the average market return from 2000 to 2018. This difference is particularly noticeable during economic downturns and periods of turbulence."

This is further supported by a McKinsey study, which showed that shares of well-known companies consistently outperform stock market indices. The top 40 global brands not only surpass but have returns twice as high as the MSCI World Index. This applies to both B2C and B2B organizations. A positive reputation and clear brand values make it more understandable and appealing to both internal and external audiences.

Corporate Branding as a Business Strategy

In the world of investments, as in life, perception matters. An authoritative brand is not just a marketing asset but also a strategic advantage that can significantly impact a company's ability to attract funding. Brand development enhances recognition and strengthens reputation, while consistent storytelling helps capture attention and build trust among both the general public and financial analysts.

Conclusion

We at Electric Brand Consultants think that companies with strong brands are often more profitable and stable, making them more attractive investment opportunities. Recognizing the crucial role of a brand and its values in increasing market share and attracting investments can be the decisive factor between success and stagnation. In other words, a strong brand is a valuable asset.
