Developing a Brand-inspired Digital Strategy - Virtual

Seats are limited and confirmation of attendance will be required in advance of the session.

When it comes to digital marketing, many investments are wasted because the tactics themselves are not being aligned to the overall brand strategy. All too often short-term, transaction-driving objectives supersede long-term brand-building ambitions. Marketers tend to resort to so-called digital best practices and copycat behavior—creating the same type of generic content, sending bland and undifferentiated email blasts, and tweeting at the same time of day—all with little consideration as to how it impacts their valuable brand assets.

In this workshop, you will learn how to ensure your digital marketing strategy is inextricably linked to the brand strategy it is intended to serve. Going beyond mere clicks and CTAs, this workshop will demonstrate how digital activation can become a source of competitive advantage by reinforcing and strengthening long-term brand equity. It will demonstrate how critical components of brand strategy—including product/service offering, promise, and experience—need to be reconsidered within an activation ecosystem that is increasingly digital. Through a combination of new frameworks, case studies, and group exercises, it will cover multiple facets of digital activation, specifically, content marketing and social media.
