Brand Standards
Manual
Multimedia University brand is a lot more than just a standard logo application onto
collaterals. It’s one of the most valuable assets that differentiate us from our
competitors. The brand is the image of the university. We can define ‘brand’ as the
recognition and personal connection that forms in the hearts and minds of our
customers and other key audiences through their accumulated experience with our
brand, at every point of contact.
The brand experience happens every time we ‘touch’ a student, staff, parents,
academician, partner and public. Each contact is an opportunity to endear the
university to people. Positive brand created from trust, loyalty and it can increase in
shareholder value & long
term advantage in marketplace.
Brand Standards manual will defines the right application for MMU brand. The
manual will assist us to build a stronger brand image for us by projecting consistence
and familiar image of us to public. We are ONE brand, speaks in ONE voice and
have ONE face; Multimedia University.
