Bangkok, Thailand – January 22, 2025 – Brandnow.asia, a leading agency supporting tech and brands with a focus on ESG and sustainability, unveils its new slogan, “Branding from Inside Out,” and adds a new variation of its logo embodying the philosophy which places importance on authenticity and transparency.
Recent market research reveals a fundamental shift in consumer behavior, with brand authenticity and transparency becoming decisive factors in purchasing decisions. Leading industry studies highlight the critical role of trust and ethical practices in shaping consumer choices. According to the latest Edelman Trust Barometer, 81% of consumers identify trust as a key determinant in their buying decisions. This finding underscores the vital connection between consumer confidence and brand transparency. Furthermore, a study by Accenture revealed that 62% of consumers state that a company's ethical values and authenticity drive their purchasing considerations. Similarly, 64% of shoppers have stopped buying from brands with poor employer reputations, underscoring how transparency and ethical practices are crucial in consumer interactions and employee relations.
Building a brand from the inside out means aligning internal culture, values, and employee behavior with external messaging. This approach fosters genuine authenticity that resonates with consumers. When a brand’s employees embody its values, it translates into consistent and compelling customer experiences.
“In 2025, surface-level marketing tactics simply won’t cut it,” says Pacharee Pantoomano of Brandnow.asia. “Consumers can easily detect inauthenticity. Building a brand from the inside out is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’—it’s a business imperative. It’s about creating a culture where every employee understands and lives the brand’s values, ensuring that every internal and external interaction reflects genuineness.”
Key elements of inside-out branding include:
By prioritizing authenticity and transparency, brands can cultivate lasting customer loyalty and achieve sustainable growth in the evolving marketplace in 2025 and beyond.
