Corporate Clothing and Brand Alignment
Ariane realises that corporate clothing has to present a consistent image of the company at the same time as being comfortable and practical for the people who use it; when assessing corporate attire she takes into account the style of the garment, the material, the colour, any decoration and the environment in which it is intended to be used.

Ariane’s Approach
Ariane believes promotional merchandise should do more than carry a logo. It should be appropriate for the audience, useful in its intended setting and consistent with the organisation’s brand.
Her recommendations generally focus on five questions:
- Who will receive the product?
- Where and how will Does it give an accurate representation of the brand?nt the brand?
- Is the branding method suitable for the artwork and material?
