Brand Identity
BRAND FRAMEWORK
It has been expounded by most marketing gurus, branding is not a campaign. It is the culture of the institution that comes from within, like, a distinct standard of doing things that is appealing to the market. Behaviors, not just basic human values, are critical to building great brands. People generally want to have the best things or do the right things, and they go to where it can be found.
The CLSU brand of doing things right, practicing the virtues of patience, appreciating hard work, and total guarantee of outstanding outputs have been realized through time. Such branding is embodied in its contemporary university tagline Nurturing a Culture of Excellence. And as always, such kind of branding is never ending, unless, perfection has been attained.
