Six versions of one logo
Three are outdated, one was modified by an intern at some point and all are in use. Just guess which one is correct.

The problem
A PDF style guide is not brand management.
A corporate identity does not disappear in one go. It starts with one logo from an old email, one flyer that had to be done quickly, one colleague who colors something different for a while.
02
Blue is not always blue
Five shades of blue, two fonts that are 'almost' the same and a flyer that looks like a different company.
03
The style guide that no one reads
A beautiful PDF of sixty pages, stored in a folder that only the creator can find.
04
Files on request
Colleague, printer or agency: every request is an email, a WeTransfer link or an hour of searching.
It takes time, money and a consistent brand image. And the annoying thing: you only see it when it's too late.
The solution
The brand manual that keeps track of itself.
We bring together everything your brand wears in one digital brand vault. Everyone who works with your brand will find the right files, with the right rights, at the right time. Checking and nesting is no longer necessary.
Why we build this
“We saw the problem of brand chaos and built the solution.” Organization after organization: a strong brand that fell apart into separate folders, emails and versions. And no tool was easy enough for both the intern and the director.
Automate
New assets are immediately ready in the correct formats and color codes. Without email traffic, without checklists.
Guarantees
Your brand vault is alive: guidelines are next to the files instead of in a dusty PDF. This way, your appearance will still be correct in three years.
Share
External parties receive a secure sharing link with exactly what is intended for them. No heavy attachments, no passwords lying around.
For whom
From the intern to the management.
A brand only works if everyone can work with it. Even those who have nothing to do with design or technology.
Marketing teams
Everyone works with the same logo, current colors and approved templates. Even those who shy away from the word 'house style'.
Branding and advertising agencies
Manage multiple brands in one environment and give each team or customer exactly the access that suits them.
Printers & suppliers
One secure link with the correct files. No seven emails before something is printed.
Management & brand managers
You keep control over who sees and changes what, without having to nest files yourself.
No technical knowledge needed: if you can open an email, you can work with MarkBase.
A bird's eye view
What's in your brand vault.
Smart asset hub
All logo variants and formats that belong to your brand can be directly downloaded in one place.
Colors & fonts
Color codes and fonts that you copy with one click — no hassle with color samples.
Collaborate & approve
Share projects, provide feedback and a clear approval flow per brand or project.
Seven access levels
From brand owner to user: set per person, not per neighborhood attempt.
Secure share link
Share with a printer or agency without WeTransfer and without it being left hanging afterwards.
Multiple brands
Multiple brands side by side, each with its own files, guidelines and access.
Social media planning
Write, plan and publish posts on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram — tested against your brand.
Practical applications
Email signatures, favicon and app icons and logo URLs, straight from your corporate identity.
Insight & reports
See which brand components are complete, what's missing, and what your team is using.

What does MarkBase have to do with MerkBrouwers?
MarkBase is a product of design agency MerkBrouwers. We design and build brands; MarkBase ensures that what is written remains that way. If you are a customer of MerkBrouwers, you can use the portal for free.
Do I have to make my entire style guide digital first?
No. You provide what you have — a PDF, a folder of files, an old textbook, a cloud drive. We will transfer it to the portal for you.
Is it easy for my colleagues?
That's exactly what it was designed for. You open the portal, choose your brand and grab what you need. No manual, no course and no ticket to let someone else search.
Does it also work for multiple brands?
Yes. You place multiple brands next to each other, each with its own files, guidelines and access. This way, each brand remains recognizable without them being mixed up.
