Brand Building with Customer Insights

This event is over.

This session is available as a member-benefit to ANA client-side marketer members only. Seats are limited and confirmation of attendance will be required in advance of the session.

 

It is an intangible asset and yet your brand(s) is the most powerful contributor to the long term growth of your company’s bottom line.  It takes vigilance and a disciplined process to maintain and grow your brand equity.  To remain relevant, your brand needs a steady influx of customer insight and analysis.  Without these your brand equity may erode, falling victim to misaligned and ineffective marketing, poor marketing ROI, internal obstacles and misunderstandings.  

 This workshop will help you understand your customers better in order to improve your brand’s relevancy. It breaks down the key components of brand building in a way that will engage you, build your knowledge, and reveal practical insights and initiatives that you can use to build your brand and bottom line.

 The workshop is highly interactive with ongoing class participation.  You get to apply the learnings to your brand through the use of highly effective tools that develop and refresh your segmentation as well as help you to improve the emotional connection between your brand(s) and your customers. This workshop is as engaging, informative, and instructive as it is fun.

 This workshop is an excerpt of the ANA full day workshop “Art and Science of Brand Building: Driving Business Overnight and Your Brand over Time.”
