Creating a Brand

Set up a brand in Knak to keep your emails and landing pages consistent with your company's visual identity.

About Brands

A brand stores your company's reusable design and marketing settings. These settings help keep your emails and landing pages consistent across every asset.

Each brand includes:

  • Logos

  • Color kits

  • Font kits

  • Social links

  • Email settings

  • Landing page settings

  • Tracking settings

This version avoids suggesting that brands are optional. It also immediately explains what a brand is and what it contains, which better prepares the reader for the setup steps that follow.
