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 build differentiated brand positioning and to drive effective activation, your brand needs to have a discipline process around competitive analysis, brand analysis, and decision journey mapping. Without these disciplines, your brand equity may erode, falling victim to misaligned and ineffective marketing, poor marketing ROI, internal obstacles and misunderstandings.  

This workshop will help you to build brand assets that align with your customers’ needs and that will help establish a unique and own-able position in the marketplace.  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 concludes with lessons learned on how to effectively put these insights into motion with best practices and examples on how to activate you brand experience.

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.  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.”
