The impact of social media on your brand’s identity

Social media can be your brand's best friend or its worst enemy. Either way, it is a necessary tool that all brands should use.

Using social media can affect your brand identity in one of two ways:

Positively
Using social media correctly can positively help your brand identity by:

  • increasing your brand's visibility
  • creating brand awareness
  • building a connection with users, and
  • growing trust and loyalty with your customers.

Negatively
However, social media can also negatively affect your brand identity, such as when:

  • you are exposed to your competitors
  • you are constantly managing negative feedback, complaints and comments, or
  • there's permanent damage done to your reputation because of your social activity.
