Corporate branding isn’t just your logo or a slick ad, it’s the vibe your employees share when no one’s looking. It’s the heart of your company, shaped by internal branding, employee brand advocacy, and a living brand culture. For global teams and B2B companies, this hidden spark drives trust and loyalty. Here’s how internal culture shapes corporate branding and how you can make it work.
Corporate Branding Is What Your Team Lives
Forget fancy taglines. If an employee at a happy hour says, “My company feels like family,” that’s your corporate branding. Salesforce lives this with their “Ohana” culture, weaving care into every meeting and client call, making their brand culture global. Zappos lets employees talk to customers their way, no scripts, because their corporate branding trusts people to be real. One rep stayed on a call for 10 hours, proving employee brand advocacy is gold.
Make Corporate Branding Pop in Daily Moments
Corporate branding isn’t just built in boardrooms. It’s shaped in everyday team interactions.
Think of casual Slack messages, how you welcome new employees, or even the inside jokes shared during lunch breaks.
For example, Slack uses fun channels like #doodles and #cooking where employees share personal hobbies. It may seem small, but these spaces help teams across the globe feel connected and human and that’s a big part of their brand identity.
At Sprout Social, employees are randomly matched for casual “donut chats” over Slack. These chats aren’t about work; they’re about building relationships. And the energy from those relaxed, social conversations reflects their playful, approachable brand tone.
These tiny, everyday touches make internal branding feel real and alive, especially in B2B companies where culture can often feel too stiff or corporate.
