A brand’s communication territory refers to the communication channels and styles considered appropriate and customary for that specific brand. This concept primarily encompasses advertising, but can also include other forms of organizational communication to a lesser extent. Characteristics of a communication territory include the advertising tone used, the language register, the advertising design, the target audience, the distribution channels, and so on.
In 2019, Swarovski innovated by redefining its communication territory to target a younger audience, moving away from celebrity endorsements in favor of a more conversational and lifestyle-oriented approach. This initiative allowed the brand to reinvent itself and connect more effectively with its target audience. The concept of communication territory is closely linked to that of brand image, thus forming a coherent whole within a company’s communication strategy.
