Setting Up Your Brand in ActiveDEMAND

The brand is one of the most important assets you have in AD as it consolidates the stylistic elements of the account as well as your logo's tag lines etc.

When an account is created in ActiveDEMAND, it sets up the basics of a brand. If you have included your domain name or URL in the account setup, ActiveDEMAND will automate the process of pulling in your logos, estimating some of the colors, etc.

Depending on your account type, you may have the ability to create more than one brand. Each asset type as a brand selector in the style section of the builder.

Setting Up Your Brand

From the left main menu, got to Assets -> Brands -> select the 'pencil/edit' icon




Attributes



Name: can be the same as the account name
Use Advanced Settings:
checked (recommended): the brand becomes the master CSS for all assets. An advanced set of attributes are exposed for the configuration of your brand styles.
unchecked:, the brand elements only impact assets that directly reference the brand attributes. A smaller set of attributes are exposed. Note, if your account has this unchecked, checking this will impact all assets.
URL: your website URL
Phone: referenced from the account settings or any of the static call tracking numbers are accessible here
Address Information: important because it can be referenced as your footer information
Tagline: important because it is referenced as an object inside many of the assets
