Brand Activations that Drive Results (Full Day)

Best Practices, Frameworks, and Tools to Activate and Differentiate Your Brand
(Full Day Workshop)

Brands are increasingly looking for ways to more effectively engage with their consumers beyond traditional channels to build profitable, long term brand loyalty. As a result, marketers are under even more pressure to deliver “buzz”, sharable consumer experiences and sales through brand activations. This is no easy task given today’s distracted consumer. To succeed you need an integrated plan, agile process, and tools to get closer to your consumers and stand out in a crowded marketplace.

During this workshop, you will build an Activation Planner that you can take back to your organization and use in your brand activations work. The program will cover the key platforms for activating your brand - Promotions, Brand Experiences and Events, Sponsorships, Influencer Marketing, Cause Marketing, Retail Marketing, Branded Content, Relationship Marketing and Measurement. You’ll learn the core principles of each discipline and best practices for implementing brand activation plan in your business.

This workshop is interactive, with ample exercises that will allow you to build your skills and practice innovative approaches for your brand. You will work with others on case studies and group exercises and each module is packed with insightful examples. By the end of the session, you will have all the tools you need to cut through the noise with smart, cost-effective, disruptive activations that differentiates your brand and adds to the bottom line.
