Learn How To Build a Valuable Brand

Most marketers recognize the need for good branding. But depending on who you ask, you might get different answers for what actually constitutes “branding.”

What roles do strategy, design, naming, messaging and advertising play in creating and growing a brand? In what order should a marketer complete these tasks? How do you actually complete each one? If a marketer truly understands the most necessary components and how to create them, branding becomes much clearer and effective at reinforcing a specific impression in the minds of customers.

In this virtual workshop, we’ll cover the steps to create and define a brand. You’ll learn what internal and external assets to include when creating your brand and what to ultimately include in your brand guidelines. You’ll then have clarity when launching advertising, communication and product/service initiatives. This session will teach you how to define the way your brand should look and what it should be saying to customers.

You’ll leave with best-practice processes, frameworks and real-world examples you can immediately implement in your business.
