3. Branding
• The COS’s brand is more than its recognizable logo or its
resource intensive website. The COS brand represents its
reputation to help its target audiences.
• COS resources should be branded effectively to ensure that
they reflect the mission, vision, and strategic priorities.
• The target audience should perceive branding in the way
intended.
