Why Brand Protection Remains Underfunded And Why That Needs to Change
In today’s digital economy, brand protection is often an afterthought that is underfunded, undervalued, and misunderstood. But the risks brands face are only growing. From counterfeits and impersonation to domain squatting and ad fraud, bad actors are creating noise and confusion across every digital channel. And while these threats have clear financial and reputational consequences, many organizations still view brand protection as a cost center instead of a growth enabler.
This is a costly mistake.
The Hidden Cost of Inaction
Every fake listing or unauthorized seller dilutes your brand’s credibility. Each impersonated domain chips away at consumer trust. But there’s another consequence that often flies under the radar: digital inefficiency. When bad actors flood online platforms, they increase competition for visibility and inflate ad spend, forcing legitimate brands to pay more to cut through the noise.
Cleaning up your digital footprint doesn’t just protect your customers, it improves marketing performance, reduces wasted spend, and boosts the ROI of your entire digital strategy. In short, brand protection is not just a legal safeguard, it’s a marketing multiplier.
Why Traditional Approaches Fall Short
Despite the clear need, many companies rely on outdated or manual methods to combat digital threats. These approaches are slow, reactive, and resource-intensive, leaving brands vulnerable while draining internal teams.
