Lunch & Learn: Branding Without the Bullsh*t
Event description
Almost every decision you take as an organisation can be tied back to who you are as a brand. Your brand is arguably your most important business asset, but many businesses are only scratching the surface of what their brand can truly do for them.
StartsWithA is passionate about branding that adds tangible value to businesses, not just fluffy exercises that lead nowhere. Great branding is the strategic process of making your product or service feel like the best possible, even better, the only viable, solution for your target audience.
During this session with Amy and Alex we will demystify pre-conceptions about brand strategy, and provide examples & exercises you can use straight away to increase your brand value.
Key Takeaways:
- The difference between good and bad brand strategy
- What really is “brand” and how does it create value?
- Positioning your brand for success
- Finding your brand sweet spot
- Establishing your brand baseline (live exercise)
