Nowadays, customers expect consistent messages and brand experiences at all conceivable touchpoints: Website, social media, print, newsletters, branches, etc., which is why a standardised brand presence and a target group-specific approach are more important than ever. Decentralised content and processes that run in silos can have a negative impact on the customer experience and lead to a loss of brand identity.

The provision of target group-specific portals is therefore crucial for success. Whether brand portal, retailer portal, media portal, press portal or download centre – they all enable companies to bring their brand to life in a unique way and simultaneously communicate brand messages uniformly and individually for each target group.

Portals for every need

Logos, images, templates, texts, videos etc. from a specific data source – such as a digital asset management (DAM) system – can be retrieved via a portal or made available to stakeholders directly through an output channel. In most cases, such portals also have a sophisticated authorization system. This allows access to content to be controlled so that only authorized material can be used.

Advantages of target group-specific portals

  • Compliance with CI/CD: A uniform appearance and clearly defined brand language on all portals strengthens the brand's recognition value.
  • Increased productivity: Stakeholders such as employees, customers, partners and dealers have access to all approved materials relevant to them, significantly reducing administrative work such as enquiries by email, telephone, etc.
  • Improved efficiency: The ability to find marketing materials more quickly thanks to powerful search functions improves collaboration between the various teams. Customers can also find the information they are looking for quickly and easily and experience a smooth interaction with the brand – regardless of the channel chosen.
  • Increased brand consistency: A uniform brand presence can be guaranteed at all touchpoints where a customer interacts with the company, despite specific portals.
  • More effective communication: Target group-orientated content and functions allow companies to place their messages more precisely and achieve a higher response.
