The Purpose Advantage: Unlocking the Power of Purpose for Your Brand (Virtual)

Activating Purpose and Elevating Your Brand in the Post-COVID Era

(Virtual Half Day Workshop)

We are in a new era of brand building. As the rules of this era are being written, it’s paramount that marketers understand and align on how to differentiate their brand, connect with customers and employees and still drive revenue. In this crowded marketplace, meeting strong standards in the four P’s is the cost of entry. Brand purpose — the 5th P – which the ANA defines as a brand’s reason to exist beyond profit, is playing an increasing role in the decision-making of modern consumers. Speculation is rife on how the pandemic will alter us as a society. It’s not surprising that lockdown has become a time for reflection on how this might change us both personally and professionally. But many brands are struggling to arrive at, or authentically activate, a brand purpose that will ignite hearts and minds of customers and their workforce.

In this interactive virtual workshop, you will engage in a series of exercises designed to teach you the steps for uncovering, pressure testing or evolving your brand purpose, and building a strong brief.
