Brand is a "promise delivered". You make a promise to customers and colleagues with everything you do and, to be successful, you must deliver on that promise every single time. The idea that a brand is a badge, a name or a color is just a tiny fraction of what a brand actually is.
Marketing is "The management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements profitably".
Marketing, then, is an integral part of your brand. It helps you to communicate the promise that you want customers and prospects to know about. Your marketing should also be based on your brand positioning, personality, values and tone of voice that have all been defined and communicated among your staff.
