The Difference is in the Design
Cambridge Design Group received a 2011 American Web Design Award for the design of the Platinum Medical Imaging website. The PMI website is just one element of the branding strategy used by CDG. It is part of a larger branding program of website, product collateral, advertising, direct mail and exhibit graphics. CDG's design approach is to simplify the complex messaging of their client's technical products or services using the right mix of graphic design, image, language and ideas. This is where the perception of a company's products or services takes shape and is the basis for a strong brand identity.

Branding, Branding, Branding
CDG promotes consistent branding efforts for their clients, because it takes years to build brand identity and it can be destroyed very quickly in an age where news travels even faster. Selling, direct mail or advertising might get the first sale, but repeat purchases come from positive customer experiences based on quality or performance. Customers come back because these are the characteristics of a company that they crave.

Long-Term Dividends
Dr. Robert D. Winsor, professor of Marketing at Loyola Marymount University, says that a company's brand must break through today's information overload to pay long-term dividends. "You have to make a personal connection with customers through your brand. People want to purchase, own and consume brands that mesh with their own values or project an identity that they feel is flattering or empowering. This sense of identity and community is very potent."

"You have to make a personal connection with customers through your brand. People want to purchase, own and consume brands that mesh with their own values or project an identity that they feel is flattering or empowering. This sense of identity and community is very potent."
As Winsor explains, "Spending money on an effective branding program actually leads to higher profits in the long run. Branding is the most important thing a business can do. Branding does two primary things that are of great value to a business."
"First, effective branding has the ability to provide a company with what economists call Monopoly Power. This means that through branding, a product or service can be differentiated from its competitors in a way that essentially eliminates competitors from comparisons. If potential customers perceive your product or service to have many available substitutes, your price is limited to whatever those other companies charge. In other words, branding allows you to charge higher prices because you have demonstrated your product or service is not merely a commodity."
"The second benefit of branding is that it facilitates brand loyalty, and this means you don't have to spend as much time or resources in selling and promotional efforts, because customers already seek out your brand. Winsor goes on, "Thus, your costs are lower. Loyalty also allows you to charge higher prices, so again, effective branding is a primary driver of profits because it gives companies pricing power in their markets."
