Add the name of your brand*** Brand name field ***2.2. Include its location*** To do that, your company should have a Google Business profile because this is an integration with Google Maps, so if your company's data is not there, you won't be able to add the location. If your business already has an account, you can continue typing the brand name in the search bar. You will see one or a few results pop up, depending on whether your company has multiple addresses. In that case, it's important to add the main one, which will be its headquarters, and after that, you can add more locations if you want. Location results ***2.3. Confirm creating your brand*** Click the \[Create Brand] button at the bottom of the page.

You can manually add them by typing the HEX colour codes or automatically extract the colours from one of the images you previously added, e.g. logo or banner. Creating a colour palette with HEX codes If you decide to use this handy feature, double-check if the extracted colours are the same as your branding. In case, there is a difference, you can easily adjust them and then save the palette via the \[Save palette] button. ## Pro tip Open one of the templates to see how the branding you've just created looks. *Go to the Templates sub-menu and choose any template:* Templates menu *Select your brand to see it in action - you can also make it a default option for all of your campaigns:* Selecting the brand and showing an example template design *** ## Video tutorial
