Why does brand awareness matter?

Brand awareness is more than name recognition. It’s about building visibility in the right places—among buyers, partners, and decision‑makers—so your brand is considered when opportunities arise. In B2B industries like tech and energy, strong awareness helps you get into RFPs, meetings, and market conversations.
