Overview
Consistent branding is at the root of a business’s identity. It makes a company memorable, increases recognition across marketing channels, and creates trust with potential shoppers. Emails should always have a compelling look and design and accurately reflect a business’s brand guidelines so your recipients know what to expect.
Creating a consistent brand is a vital part of growing any business and can generate long-term tangible returns. Studies have shown that companies with consistent branding can see up to a 33% increase in revenue.
In this article, you’ll learn how to manage your brand styles and assets in AdRoll’s Brand Manager, helping you create multiple email templates faster and with a consistent brand.
What is the Brand Manager?
The AdRoll Brand Manager is a single, easy-to-access location that enables you to manage your brand styles, assets, and commonly used links. These elements are then automatically applied to multiple, pre-built Branded templates available in your Email Template Library by default.
Access the Brand Manager
To access the Brand Manager:
- Navigate to the Email Templates tab in your AdRoll Dashboard
- Click on the button in the upper right-hand corner called Manage Your Brand
- You’ll be redirected to the Brand Manager landing page where you can begin to update your brand colors, fonts, assets, and links.
Manage and Edit Your Brand
Once in the Brand Manager, you’ll see a range of elements that can be updated to reflect your unique brand guidelines, as well as a Preview of an example email template with your brand applied.
You can edit the following brand elements:
Section |
Description |
Logo |
Upload your company logo and it will display at the top of all your Branded templates. We recommend using an image with a transparent background. You can also add a hyperlink for the logo. |
Colors |
Primary and Secondary colors will be applied to multiple elements within your email template such as the background, buttons, links, and text. |
Button |
The Border Radius of your button will be applied to all buttons in a template. This controls whether your buttons have a more square or rounded shape. |
Font |
Choose an email-safe font for your Headings and Body text. |
Social Media Profiles |
Add links to your Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter profile pages. You can also control the style of social media icons that will display at the bottom of your Branded templates. |
