BREXIT is now a reality and a “wake up” call for the ‘distant’ EU brand. The EU has lost contact with Europe’s citizens. Or worse, it never truly connected with them in the first place. We warned the EU institutions this could happen. And it did.
BRAND EU works as the independent brand marketing champion of the European Union brand. As one of the PRO-EU referendum campaign groups that have campaigned to stop BREXIT, we have learned a great deal about the EU’s image and brand problem. The EU brand is weak and an easy target for Eurosceptic attacks in UK and other EU nations. The EU is still “very remote and incomprehensible” to the majority of European citizens. Post Brexit, this lack of a clear EU brand strategy, identity and vision puts the entire European project at great risk. So what happens next?
OUR ROLE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER – THE BRAND EU CENTRE AS A CHAMPION OF THE EU BRAND – BUILDING TEAM EUROPE!
As we explained in our recent FUTURE OF EUROPE SCENARIOS 2025 Report, we believe BREXIT will lead to great uncertainty. Our mission at BRAND EU, is now to build and work towards building the positive TEAM EUROPE scenario. A scenario where TEAM EUROPE works to transform the EU and Europe into an inclusive, pluralistic, thriving and innovative continent.
