Effective Brand Management Mastery Program (Two Day Open Enrollment)
(Two Day Workshop)
Strong brands are an essential element of marketing effectiveness. Brands which are relevant and connect with the customer build longer term loyalty and ultimately drive greater value for your organization when compared to the competition. In order to succeed in your business, you must be a strong brand, with strong brand management skills.
This two-day mastery program will help you understand how to build a more effective brand, drive value, and engage customers in long term relationships. By taking you through a carefully curated four-step pathway, marketers will learn the essentials of effective brand management: (1). how to develop actionable insights that get to the human truth behind your customer – and inform on how to engage with them –; (2). crafting and evangelizing a clear brand management framework; (3). developing an integrated marketing plan; and (4). effectively executing on that plan.
We'll cover topics like how to manage your brand; brand positioning; differentiating your products and services; and how to develop a compelling brand promise and personality for your brand. Throughout the program we will use the Brand Bullseye tool, which will provide a framework for you to articulate the brand and a tool to implement your thinking on the job.
In a digitally enabled world, it has never been more important to take a 360-degree approach to marketing planning. We can no longer rely purely on communications to deliver our brand story. Marketers must now develop integrated plans across a broader range of touchpoints and work within their organizations to champion the customer perspective in order to ensure a holistic brand experience. Participants will leave this mastery program understanding how to execute a comprehensive integrated marketing plan, with insights on breaking down silos to drive results.
