NOVA Brand Pillars

The brand pillars are the topics that should anchor our messages and provide a guide for your content. When creating copy or visuals, try to emphasize or illustrate at least one of these pillars, either overtly (by literally using the phrase) or in more subtle ways, like telling stories that prove one of the pillars to be true. We provide examples throughout this guide on how to do that.

If we do a good job emphasizing these topics, then even people who don’t know these are our brand pillars will still be able to discern that these things are true of NOVA.
