Make your brand a culture-driver
Brand and culture exist in a constant circle. Your internal culture is a key factor shaping your external brand. But your brand is also the most effective tool at your disposal to create the culture you want. This is because your brand story is founded on your organisation’s purpose and the values you stand for.
We can help you articulate these and communicate them memorably to stakeholders. And by collaborating with you to identify practical behaviours that embed your values in actual business processes, we can ensure every team member lives your values every day.
Once your brand and culture are aligned, you unlock countless benefits including:
- Improved customer experiences
- Increased customer loyalty
- Increased brand trust
- Increased employee retention
- Improved quality of job applicants
- Better decision-making, aligned with your values.

Culture & employer branding FAQs
Why should your business care about cultural branding?
A well-defined company culture helps your organisation build trust, loyalty and advocacy among all its stakeholders. By demonstrating your company’s commitment to what it stands for and how it contributes to society, your business is more likely to attract like-minded customers who will be more fiercely loyal to what you do. That means less customer churn, and a whole army of brand champions.
Similarly a strong employer brand makes you more attractive to like-minded job applicants, which will help you gain and retain better talent.
A well-navigated brand culture alignment can generate a whole host of specific benefits for your company’s brand, including:
- Creating a consistent and authentic identity for the brand that reflects your company’s values and desired culture.
- Enhancing the customer experience and loyalty by delivering on the brand promise through every touchpoint.
- Attracting and retaining the best talent by demonstrating that your core values relate to their needs and expectations.
- Increasing employee engagement and performance by fostering a sense of pride and belonging.
- Improving the reputation and credibility of the brand among external stakeholders and the public.
Why is it worth hiring an agency like Sondo to enhance my culture building?
Culture-brand connection is an often overlooked step in the branding process. Whether you realise it or not, the way that you do things as a business is unique and valuable. Often, we find that most companies have a thriving, living culture that defines who they are - they probably just haven’t set it down on paper yet or considered how it could tie in with their overall branding. This is where Sondo can help. We have many years of experience helping companies unlock the full potential of their story, unifying all aspects of their organisation into a strong, multifaceted and innovative brand identity.
What is an employee value proposition?
Employee value proposition refers to the set of material and cultural benefits that your organisation offers to its employees in exchange for their skills, capabilities and experiences. It is a way of communicating what makes your business attractive and unique as an employer, and how it can meet the needs and expectations of both current and potential employees. EVP, therefore, is a vital part of employer branding, as it creates and maintains a positive impression of your organisation among all stakeholders. A strong employee value proposition can help you attract and retain critical talent, increase employee engagement, reduce annual employee turnover and enhance performance.
