Not be offended, but many technology companies, especially SMEs and startups, tend to focus too much on the product and leave a little aside the image of the company itself. In a way, it is natural. You try to do your best at work but you don’t realize you forget a very important part also for business. A popular saying goes, "do not pretend that others will love you if you don’t do it." Well, here it is the same. So don't pretend people know you if you don't know youself. That's why it's very important to build a corporate profile for tech companies, or what we call a DDC strategy.
Dare to be the black sheep. Before letting you know and communicate, know yourself. Differentiate your tech company. Define yourself.
Perhaps you think your company was defined the first day it was born, and really, because of their size, the sector in which you move or x, it is not necessary. Well, I am to inform you that, from our perspective, you're wrong.
Develop a corporate profile is basic because it lays the foundation. Your business can be interpreted very differently among employees, customers, competition... Do not let the imagination take over in the definition of something so important. Concretize. Mark a mission, a vision, objectives, strategy, action plan, write your story to let everyone know where you come from and where you're going. Make your tech company different.
Prepare a document, a Bible, and everyone, starting with your employees will know the company and will have a unique view of it to row to the same destination.
