What is a ‘brand’?
![Page 4: Linking pr and communications to your brand simon bottery - independent age](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546c0b73af7959680e8b5035/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A brand is a package of thoughts and emotions…
4
Knowledgeable…
Trustworthy…
…but a bit old-fashioned
…and you can never get through on the phone!
Those thoughts and emotions are based on how you look, what you say and what you do

Standard text
• Independent Age is a unique, long-established and growing charity for thousands of older people across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
• Founded nearly 150 years ago, Independent Age has recently merged with two other older people's charities, Counsel and Care and Universal Beneficent Society, to provide a broader range of services than any of the charities could provide separately.
• The merged charity provides national information and advice service for older people, their families and carers, focusing on three vital areas: social care, including care at home, in hospital and residential care, welfare benefits, befriending services and other social support.
• This is integrated with local support, including: one-to-one and group befriending schemes, and membership of the wider Independent Age community
• We use the knowledge we gain from providing our services to help influence policy and practice.
