Using the Chamber Brand
In order to add value to members’ and stakeholders’ brands, a number of versions of the Chamber logo have been created for Members, Strategic Members, Patrons, Advocates and Partners to utilise. The logo can be used on letterheads, compliment slips, your website and any marketing collateral.
Using the Chamber mark is an enhancement to your own brand and reinforces your business as being part of a professional and trustworthy network of local business. As a member of the Chamber you can also support us to raise awareness of membership through use of the brand on your marketing materials.
