What does a branding audit include?

A branding audit typically covers your visual identity (logo, colors, typography), tone of voice, messaging consistency, competitor positioning, and how your brand appears across web, social, and print touchpoints.

How often should I do a branding audit?

Most experts recommend a branding audit every 12–18 months, or whenever you're launching a new product, entering a new market, or noticing inconsistency in how customers describe your brand.

Can a branding audit help a startup with no brand guidelines?

Yes — for early-stage startups, a branding audit is especially valuable. It surfaces what's working intuitively, identifies gaps, and often results in the foundation for a proper brand guide.

What's the difference between a branding audit and a brand refresh?

A branding audit is a diagnostic — it tells you what's working and what isn't. A brand refresh is the action that follows. You need the audit first to know where to focus.
