The scope will generally include, but will not be limited to the following: Inventory and assessment of the current brand, including review of existing studies, existing public comment, and existing market research; develop and implement a plan for public and key stakeholder involvement; recommendations for needed studies or other information vital to building the brand; creation of a summary report of findings and a brand position based on this research; and definition of a set of brand standards, development of a logo, signage, look, airport terminal features and brand design that reflects those standards.
