Trust implies truth
In the life of any brand, communication is not a nice-to-have — it is the oxygen that keeps it alive.
Without it, a brand may retain its soul, history, and vision, but it cannot truly exist in the minds of its audience.
From the moment a brand is born to the day it fades, communication is how it breathes and exchanges value with the world.
Importantly, communication is not just about sending messages. It is about exchange — the flow of information between a brand and its audience, with feedback as the vital pulse.
Without feedback, there’s no way to know if the message resonates.
Poor communication damages a brand; no communication erases it entirely.
Authenticity is the cornerstone of effective communication.
Outsourcing it — no matter how skilled the agency — risks distorting the brand’s voice.
It’s like sending someone else on your date to speak for you: the packaging may look right, but the meaning is wrong.
Even when a brand chooses to “fake” certain aspects — for example, softening reality or presenting an idealized version — it must be done deliberately, ethically, and with the brand’s own voice.
Unethical or mismatched messaging will inevitably harm the brand.
When communication is outsourced, the provider’s incentives often differ.
Paid on performance, agencies may focus on maximising clicks or conversions rather than faithfully conveying the brand’s essence.
Misalignment can also happen unintentionally, simply because the provider misunderstands the brand’s identity or fails to translate it into something meaningful for the audience.
Ultimately, communication must match audience expectations with brand capabilities and values. When these don’t align, the result is miscommunication — and miscommunication damages trust.
In large organisations, communication often suffers from another threat: fragmentation.
Different divisions, teams, or individuals want to promote their own initiatives, often without coordination.
This creates silos where each group speaks for itself, diluting the sense of a unified brand.
The result? From the outside, the brand appears inconsistent — or worse, invisible except for whichever department “shouts” the loudest.
