How is the result measured and accountably maintained?
What are the uniform standards against which Estée Lauder Corporate can compare success across hundreds of brands?
Solution
Develop an extended standards guide and template that begins as a presentation and becomes an organized series of editable check boxes and questionaires. Cover the basics of the branding expectations–from editorial, to visual, don't neglect sensorial–then include a series of global checkboxes that need to be filled out and sent to corporate for approvals. Utilize PowerPoint so all parties can view and edit, streamlining the process of managing a creative idea through to launch.
